I use to love tractors but lately I've gone right off them....


I'm an ex-tractor fan.

I've got 3 Chad Valley model Fordson Majors that the company brought out in the 1950's when Ford first produced the pale blue NMajor, and a Chad Valley Fordson Dexta. The Majors have Ackerman steering whereas the Dexta has none.

Cal, I bet when you drive the Unimog down the road they think there is a hooligan behind the wheel.

My little Bristol 20, can’t complain it’s too big.

Bought on impulse, sat in the shed in between the 2B and the door and waiting till it’s really in the way so that I’ll be motivated to get it running.

The bar does not fold up at all. Instead you disconnect and tow it from one end. FYI its 214ft long!
Tractor is a Baldwin (Australian built) original 650Hp, but was repowered to 850Hp in order to pull that bar.
