Russell Tractor?

[Cab-over Pete]

Aye-up,

am I right in thinking there was an old row crop type tractor, high clearance for working in veg rows?

Can't find any images on Google.

Cheers, Pete

remember there being a Russel 3D tractor, based loosely on the old David Brown 2D tool carrier i think??? wasnt exactly high clearance through

Hydraulic rather than air for lift though. Very few sold.

I know of a David Brown 2D at a local garden centre, he is unlikely to sell though. Maintains it himself.

biggest failing with the 2d is the air cooled 2cyl engine. Designed with the aid of freeman-sanders i belive, it was a 2 cyl but with 3 pistons to even out the inherent unbalance of the 2 cyls. The 3rd one ran upside down in a dummy bore in the sump with no piston rings
