Always had a bit of a soft spot for the XL cab on an International ❤️

First tractor cab I ever used that seemed like it was supposed to be operated by something vaguely human shaped 😆

1455XL is likely to be my forever favourite tractor 😍😍

A little WD40 will get that going again…

Was on a charity tractor run on Sat around Sheffield – nearly 60 tractors (mainly vintage) and a bunch of cash raised for Sheffield Childrens Hospital

Nice! Regularly drive a 7840 so have soft spot for early 90s fords.

Another 90s Ford – me and Dashed jnr in the 8340

Oh ffs, why is this forum so shit. Will get the image embedded tomorrow from my laptop 😡

Oh – I just remembered spotting some beauts in Ireland last year

Hopefully it works this time… Picked him up from school in it tonight – last day of term treat!!

There’s a steam rally on at astle park near Holmes chapel this weekend. They had a tractor rally with countless examples that made me think of this place.

A nice little Porsche & Lambo combo

I once almost bought a small-holding in France which would have come with one of those Porsche tractors as part of the deal. Long story. Didn’t work out.

Added bonus press thingy machine

^ that is a cool wagon.

I think I had the Britains model of that

The angry end of my workhorse

There was a tractor rally from Zell am See to the Großglöckner Alpin Straße toll booth. I’ve got plenty more to show

And don’t worry there was an old Unimog !!

I took about 35 photos for my Dad

We had one of those Fendt GTs (Tool carriers) on the farm I worked on in Germany. Very handy little tractor and great to drive. Ours had a cab (or sorts) though

Had to look it up but that Eicher Mammut 4WD is a thing of beauty

@welshfarmer – I can email loads more to you if you’d like to see them including a weird local Grey Fergie variant

Something more modern

Today’s German beastie

Another German beastie

“Ein bisschen Blech, ein bisschen Lack, fertig ist der Hanomag”.

Mum used to work for the UK distributor of those HSM machines 😉

For @welshfarmer

Thanks ElShalimo

All go here today with some big kit. Taking the top out of an old oak directly above my workshop. The Merlo is at full stretch of 26 metres (85 feet!)

What tyres to collect a big Mac?

@welshfarmer that must be OTM’s if it’s local.
Anything millable in the base? Or is it hollowed out from the old limb tear?

Yep. OTMs. We have left the stem at about 35 feet to pollard out ( hopefully). There are a few decent lumps of limb timber i may mill into someting. Rest is only firewood really
