sparrow legs Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 a few claas swathers used to run around here, they always were moved on lowloader trailers drawn by tractors, i dont know why thoe as all the shelbourne reynolds were driven to each job, also the hestons maybe they were slow on the road \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
