8feetmower Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) A contractor here in Orkney used to have a NH with a engine & towed it with a IH 674.He kept it going till it was completely worn out so he must have liked it.There was a picture in the Scottish Farmer at the time of an ATV trike with a small trailer alongside him.
