My late uncle had a hoe almost identical to the one pictured with the steering wheel and proper box. He never used it for some reason. I remember in the earlt 60s climbing on to it to pretend it was a tractor. I changed gear much more than one would on a hoe! I don't think it was a Fergie. Went to farm sale with Dad in the late 60s. Steerage hoe making 2 quid scrap money and Dad bought it. "That will be useful for your Uncle" Dad said. It stood next to the other one for the next 35 years.

There was an element of that no doubt, but we are only talking about £40! And a day out in Norfolk

[New Puritan]

Don't... Actually @Gordy1 what have you got?

Me & the girlfriend went out for the day last week, and she remarked it was the first time since we met (5 years ago) that it hadn't involved collecting some farm machinery from somewhere "on the way back".

She's got very suspicious of my reasons for wanting to take the trailer with us on days out

Perhaps she’d like a trip to Devon!
