Tractor Trumps – South Glos Rules ;-)

Near Ffestiniog – very sorry looking Leyland.

@elshalimo

Nice!

Loving those German pictures on the last page.

Must sort my pix out from the last couple months…maybe longer.

@redthunder –  I always thought Leyland were blue. Maybe it’s an old electric board machine?

If anyone has done the Stwlan dam road climb, it’s right at the bottom of the hill.

@Elshalimo, Leyland Industrial, they made a few of their models in yellow over the silver wheels. Not sure if there is any mechanical difference though.

Thanks

I thought it was rescued from one of the local slate mines or power stations

Horton in Ribblesdale

The MB Trac is cool.

They also had a relatively modern Unimog to the right of the MB beastie

Be still my beating heart

I know it’s not a proper tractor but it’s impressive

It is a proper tractor.
Just not an agricultural one 👍👍

I once wrote to Jim’ll Fix It to see if I could get a go in a Pistenbully. He never replied. Think I may have dodged a bullet there!

My late uncle’s massey 135. Recently sold on to due to the farm being sold.

Ford?

Ford 4000 County 4wd?

Must get some pictures off my work phone (if that’s not cheating) as had walking diggers on site.

Came across this on our walk today https://www.sevac.co.uk/nvtrr2024

That looks like a nice MB Trac at the back

Oooh nice County

A little Zetor 7045 from 1982, still working in the woods.

Used to see a lot of Zetors in rural SE Ireland visiting family in the 80s

The only time I saw Zetor tractors was when I holidayed in Devon as a child. Where I grew up, it was all large Fords and Massey Fergusons.

my uncle told me they were much cheaper than UK or German brands, hence popular on small hill farms in Wicklow, Carlow, Wexford area

Used to see Deutz too but not as common

On the forestry up track from Hamperley to the southern end of the Long Mynd.

Those forestry machines are amazing

Deere 2130 on South Uist.

Errrrmm

A bit of WD40 and it’ll be fine

6830 boat transporter on South Uist

I think this lives here.

Size seems to matter to some.

All that money on a pimped out Unimog and it’s not got self-levelling suspension?

I expect more from the stout burgers of Schaffhausen

View of of the window yesterday

All that money on a pimped out Unimog and it’s not got self-levelling suspension?

It had some pimped red shocks – clearly ready for the potholes out to the beaches on Uist this week… Absolutely crazy sized beast to be driving around island roads. It was parked next to a Volvo HGV yesterday – and looked the same size!

Half of me shouts “Burn the Witch”

The other half screams “Holy Unimog Batman!!”

Closer to topic….

Renault on Vatersay.

Some cracking tractors on the TV Programme Reuben:Life in the Dales

Old MF machine in Weardale

Note the unsafe trailer hitch stand
