Not tractors in the agricultural sense, but two machines associated with the forestry in mid Wales - seen on the approach road to Sweet Lamb Rally Centre in early June this year
This came past our house a few weeks ago. I think I added it to the 'Picture of the Day' thread, but I'd forgotten about Tractor Trumps at the time. It's a Fowler Ploughing Engine, 'The Chief' model, built in Leeds in 1875, and it was grinding its way southwards through eastern Shrops on 19th July, presumably on its way to some agricultural show. Sorry about the exposure being a bit dark, despite the small amount of blue sky in the background, the day was actually quite gloomy.
This was in central Stockholm the other week.
Forest Monster is an HSM, know a guy with one, very useful bit of kit for getting out big trees.
The other two forestry machines look familiar to me, especially as the Tigercat appears to have it's back open for repairs 😆.
Nice kramer. I also have one!!! Will look for a photo....
Here's my little telehandler getting water from a spring for my sheep back in the summer when all the surface streams ran dry
I was stuck behind what I thought was a tractor towing a trailer full of bales doing about 30km/h on the B310 in Allgäu yesterday. After about 5-6km I managed to overtake it on a straight section of road.
It wasn't a tractor it was a 1960s Unimog driven by what looked like a teenage girl with her grandad. It really made me smile.
I'd like a cool Grandad with an old Unimog and I'm in my 50s

A Claasy Christmas one from Saxham.
Beadnell Bay on Saturday
The bells are in case you don't hear the tractor coming.
A couple of local churches held a tractor run/rally today, and there was a great rumbling earlier when the convoy drove past the end of our row of houses. I missed the first part of it, but got a few pictures of the tail-enders.

There's a few more to come, but it looks like I've maybe reached the limit of images for today.
Just needs some WD40
I'll attempt to put up the rest from yesterday afternoon; this may or may not work...
Massey Ferguson 135 with a small trailer:-
A pretty elderly MF (1960s A-reg) with a cheerful driver:-
Edit - forum's only allowing me to put two external 'postimages' links into any single post, so I've had to split these 6 photos into 3 posts. Heyho.
A procession of Little Red Tractors:-
There seem to be no distinguishing marks on this one!
An elderly David Brown:-
And last but not least, an MF-135, late 60s or early 70s F-registration, who was playing 'tail end Charlie' for the convoy:-
