it might have been wiser to let Dave learn in the old one before it went

we do have a 1941 tractor hidden away, my dad bought it as an investment years ago but now cant find a buyer mainly because it only has one wheel at the front and has a hand clutch, starting it involves pulling the flywheel by hand, driving it requires extreme courage. Its a lot like this one



So Dave do you want to come and test drive it?

coz your not getting near the new one

Now there's an off-roader if I ever seen one

For starters

It has a orange light on the top, that needs changing to a clear lenses

I don't think a tractor needs a Thule roofbox on the roof

and those Mitchelin tyres will cost a fortune to replace also best keep a eye on the tread you would not want to run them as baldy's on the mud  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

That's not actually my tractor, just a look alike, it needs an orange flashing light to legally travel on dual carriageways..not that I do, I think the roof box is some sort of aftermarket aircon , mines all built in as is the heated seat . The rear tyres are approx £1000 each 650/65 38's. Also I need to buy a set of narrow wheels/tyres for driving thru growing crops, there looking at costing approx £3000 for the set of four  At work

winner by default of the tractor vs caravan race

lucky you don't have to worry about the tyre tread wearing down quickly to 6mm  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
