I hope tractor runs don't finish just yet as I have an 80 year old which I am pretty sure is unique in this country also I usually give extra when entering
Oh really?? I presume they all walked or cycled there to take part? What happened To live and let Live??The London marathon?

Iv heard the lad driving didn't ask to use the tractor and insurance might not pay out because was none agricultural.Google “Tractor overturns on Malmesbury Roundabout”. Not good as I was told the tractor was en route to a “tractor run”, !!
What a nutter!Oh....
Not all tractor runs are equal though, I believe it was closer to 56k with other donations plus food donations to the food bank. I’m sure the children that will benefit wouldn’t be complaining.Local tractor run had 87 tractors do a 25 mile run and raised £1125 for charity but they must burned that in diesel alone! Just seems a daft excuse for a jolly and p*** off a load of motorists.
I used to hold that view (post #12 on this thread). But have been persuaded otherwise now.Local tractor run had 87 tractors do a 25 mile run and raised £1125 for charity but they must burned that in diesel alone! Just seems a daft excuse for a jolly and p*** off a load of motorists.
Well done to all involved I say.Not all tractor runs are equal though, I believe it was closer to 56k with other donations plus food donations to the food bank. I’m sure the children that will benefit wouldn’t be complaining.

Who cares about all the pollution it won’t effect us!!!If no tractor runs ,or ploughing / working days and some saying waste of fuel ,miserable feckers ,each to their own interests,
lets ban bike ,car racing ,or any motor sport , that matter , that burns fuel , most sportninfact ,be it driving or flying 0000 miles to compete in what ever
but then that will be different and ok ,
we do road ,run and ploughing , match , and done couple grand and more sometimes , towards air ambulance ,most years
and last year ,bulb fields was open for vistitors , between every one involved puttingbon the event it raised over £24 k ,for a local hospice ,over a couple weekends and a few days inbetween
so just hope you miserable f**kers dont need their services
Why do people get so worked up about taking a tractor out for a road run and having a nice time ?Who cares about all the pollution it won’t effect us!!!
Probably the same people who think anything that isn’t “work” is a waste of time and anyone who enjoys something different to them is “wrong” tractors are objects art or tool depends on your point of view I don’t see the point of most hobbies other than that people enjoy them and that’s a good thing 25 miles once a year in 50 year old relic or a few hours a day of internet browsing which is worse for the planet?Why do people get so worked up about taking a tractor out for a road run and having a nice time ?
Plenty of people enjoy, ploughing matches, machinery shows and vintage events everyone needs some down time.Probably the same people who think anything that isn’t “work” is a waste of time and anyone who enjoys something different to them is “wrong” tractors are objects art or tool depends on your point of view I don’t see the point of most hobbies other than that people enjoy them and that’s a good thing 25 miles once a year in 50 year old relic or a few hours a day of internet browsing which is worse for the planet?
Unless your wee boy is over 13 it’s illegal surely?I like to go on one every year not sure if it’s because I’ve a JD 6r (dual beacons AND front linkage) or it’s just that I like to take my wee boy out for a spin, chat to some like minded neighbours who have a bit of pride and enjoyment in their profession, see it as a way of life (not just a job/burden) and support a local charity usually air ambulance or a church hall roof or something similar.
How much have you raisedThis is my YFC we run one for the Yorkshire air ambulance and we getting big numbers (360 last time)
