Amazing what a wee tractor can pull. One time I was working for a farmer at hay time and another farmer was buying some hay from him. Tiny little Iseki tractor, prob 20ish hp, huge single axle flatbed trailer. We loaded up 100 bales and off he went. High stacked load about nine feet wide so no way he could know if there was traffic behind him. Probably about 2 ton or so depending on how tight they were baled, it'll be right unless there's a down hill involved

There were many hills involved. The main issue was the fact that he would have been a rolling roadblock with no idea how much traffic was building up behind him.

one of the first engines i did a rebuild on (glaze bust, re-ring, and new gaskets all round) was a vintage suffolk punch cylinder mower, single cylinder 4 stroke (bit wobbly) anyway, that had the spoon on the conrod too, devilishly simple.

I thought a Suffolk Punch was a draught horse.

I think it is a variety of hop for brewing also.
