A Blast From The Past....

Hi Mate, no a hydraulic one, i bought it already fitted to the little 35, it was a bit slow but very powerful and safe, boy that tractor would be worth some money today, i gave £500.00 for the combo!

RE aerial work, young and foolish, more like, i weighed 9 stone sopping wet, and my power to weight ratio, and confidence in my own ability was, clever, i thought!

The MF35 brings back memories! I drove one all one Summer as a teenager while bunching logs for my uncle.

I drove my dads as a kid as Ivan knows; I can see this thread going all tractor related.

Ivan can get quite excited about Tractors

My Dear Steve, you are a bad man, i was trying to keep my tractor fetish a secret, but now the cat is out of the bag, i am afraid the BCUK masses are going to be bored with, not only wood and tree tales but tractor porn!

Heres one i have my eye on, has not turned a wheel for a day or two.

Used to drive Bruunetts and Countys in my old forestry days.

OOH! You bad men, they are beautiful, especially the County, is that an 1174?

I had a go in a Unimog once, would pull a house down and go anywhere, but you needed arms like Popeye to fight it, sorry drive it!

Thanks guys.

OK, up the loft again, think some of these are relavant to tractor fascination, and a bit of an explanation as to where it all started! That is me in bulging nappy and with my dear old dad, apparently, if he tried to remove me i used to scream the place down! A few others of my mum helping digging the footings for a wall i built, photos for my favourite tractor , an International 444, with brays power loader no less, and transport box full of 4 inch concrete blocks to balance, good old independant brake steering!

Oh yeah, first day at school on dads landy, and some other bits, i will no doubt, rattle on about later.
