Field marshal

I dare say they were a heck of a lot more fun than walking behind a pair of horses all day

Contractors outfit thrashing for my great grandfather in the late 50's, I think.

Did the gearboxes, final drives etc put up with or did they wear out in no time?
Someone I know has a wheeled series2, Had it behind my DB880 trying to tow start it, bugger me when he let the clutch out it would stop my tractor dead,amazing compression from it!

A guy I work for's grandfather had a marshall for driving a thrashing drum. He remembers the scrap men cutting it up in the late sixties and remembers the inside of the back end looking like the day it was made as it came apart....

40hp pulling a mole 2ft deep in heavy ground! REALLY!!!

As someone said earlier it was a bit like a hammer action drill with the crankshaft transverse across the chassis and a single thumping great reciprocating piston.

While on the subject I heard something announced at barley Saturday about a tractor run this weekend, do you happen to know? I didn't catch the details

 

[Ioan annwyl]

Is there one up Aberaeron-Ciliau Aeron area this weekend? Think I heard about it on Geraint Lloyd's Radio programme on Radio Cymry. Programme starts 10 pm, he's bound to mention it tonight.

Maybe @Cowabunga might know ?

Here is ours at work a few years ago. It has a good winch on it, it just needed some bracing! Still use it now and again for winching jobs. My dad did it up a few years ago, probably the winter before this picture was taken. It is his pride and joy!

I'm afraid I don't. There was one from Felinfach a couple or three weeks ago. I didn't go but one of my tractors did.
That being the case, I doubt that there's another one in that same area so soon.

As Ioan mentioned Geraint Lloyd, he might like to know that his daughter was among a crew filming here today. I was carting slurry so apart from catching me having a cup of coffee at lunchtime, I was not involved. Nice friendly crew and it turned out that my wife had taught one of them in primary school.

Tractor run Sunday 10.30 at Llangwyrfon according to Geraint Lloyd.

Check it out before going. That one is usually limited to 100hp for some reason. Not sure if that rule still applies.

And no tractors built after 2000, neither affect me
