TurboDieselWeasel: I love the maroon and red Lanz, it's looks and sounds like a cartoon car, excellent stuff. Soopahfly: You know, that picture had me cringing at the thought of hot metal and no protection... which means there's probably something wrong with me XD

That BMW Mini tractor is amazing and ridiculous! I can barely think of a worse engine to convert into a diesel tractor. As a piece of obscure history it's cool though. ;D

Hehehe - there's a Moggy Minor in australia with one of those 950 diesels. The guy had to turbo-charge it to make the Moggy able to go over hills ;D ;D MPG apparently is incredible, though I'll see if I can dig out the pics... Btw: if I should ever get my hands on one of those 950 diesels......... ;D |

If we're having music, how about a proper retro tractor playing jazz?  |

I do a bit of work for Massey Ferguson's parent company AGCO and their old canteen at Banner Lane in Cov used to be home to this lot www.farmersguardian.com/new-home-for-historic-masseys/3781.article The couple I always found interesting was Ferguson TE20 ‘Sue’ from the Sir Edmund Hillary South Pole expedition...  and 'the Nipper' tractor puller. This is a MF265 with 4 chargers, 2 fuel pumps mounted nose to nose and around 850bhp, not bad for a 3.8 4 cylinder  Along with MF, they produce Fendt & Valtra tractors and these immense Challenger beasts  |

Ive always loved the mini tractor since I first saw one when I was knee high to a midget at a steam fair, one of them would be a nice addition to my collection...
Then I saw the fergie v8! My eyes came out so far they pushed my glasses off!

Hmmm - the last couple of pics made me thinking... Driving a tractor is actually the purest form of mechanical transportation. Engine, gearbox, seat, steering, four wheels - done.
Pure, simple and raw ;D
