BC Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 There have been a couple of posts on here in the past day or so on County tractors so I though I would share photos of some of them I have captured at work and at play. The first two were still being used by a Forestry contractor when they were clearing a wood a couple of miles from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 At my local vintage rally there is always a large contingent of County's all of who are members of the Scottish County Tractor Club. The first picture is a County Super 4 In 2009 after the parade of County's they decided to hitch up 4 of the larger County's behind the smaller Super 4 and see if it could pull them around the ring.

BC Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Most people associate County with Ford's but there was an International one as well Another one similar to the earlier working "Highland Bear" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Wonderful pictures of wonderful tractors Thanks Lee. I must admit I do like them myself but never really had the desire to own one and that is mainly for two reasons...they need a shed that is higher than my garage and a lorry to transport if going long distances.

Fendt Fahrer Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 that super six and especially the 1174 have cought my eye. The 1174 is one of my favorites of all countys along with the 1884. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 That Super 6 belonged to a chap called Doug Archibald who had worked with the Forestry Commission with County's for many many years. Sadly Doug died a while back and I'm not sure if his family have held on to it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Going back in time to 2008 and the location is the BA Stores Working Weekend held at Lyne of Skene in Aberdeenshire. Its on a high site and can be windy so a pair of countys are handy for anchoring the stand poles to ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fendt Fahrer Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Just to make things clearer I was talking about the Super six with Licence plate DRS149H. I think you probably thought of the one that is forestry equipped. That one is nice as well, but the other looks pristine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
