[Stuart.Wyle1]

Hi

I am looking for a classic/vintage driving experiences for a birthday gift (ideally in Lincolnshire but can travel). Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions please?

Welcome ............

If the person's into tractors, colour (make) might be more important than "ordinary people" think, so might be worth discreetly checking, first? Some people wouldn't be seen dead in a blue or a green tractor .........
We're a bit far (Ireland), so hold tight for closer folk ................

But, I'd say they'd love one of their very own?

Hi Stuart.
What would be the persons preferance as to what to drive, and what do they want to do ? Just a run up and down a private road, or in the field ?
Do they have any previous experience ?
Are they over 14 years of age ?

Sorry to sound nosey, just wondering if I can suggest something.

Sorry to jump in but I have the same question. My granddaughter wants to drive a tractor (bucket list thing). She is 22 doesn't mind what tractor and has no experience.

My partner bought me a tractor driving experience for my birthday.
It was at Farm Adventure, was a great day did some ploughing, hooked up trailers and moved bales etc.
It was up north somewhere.

There's also digger land and they do driving experiences too.

I got a tractor driving experience for my birthday a few years ago. Or to be more precise

"You're old enough to harrow that ploughing down now. then it'll need rolling. I'll show you how to set up the hayturner tomorrow"

I had a similar "chainsaw experience" the only instruction being "don't cut your legs off"

Yep same experience when I was tall enough to reach the pedals, instruction don’t hit any of the bales.

 

[Highland Mule]

tall enough to reach the pedals

Late starter? My first was when I could get a toe to the stop lever below the steering wheel on an old IH. Masseys were/ are a pull out, so waited until I was older.
