Erm well it won’t be this week. I’ve got a bit distracted with a scaledown e27n the last week. It requires a little less head scratching! Must get back on now, at least have cleared a few of my part finished jobs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and never seen by me anyway, as is the case with most that I have seen here and evidently in Europe in general. But I really enjoy looking at them. What I see and have seen on the farms and tractor shows and county fairs in Pennsylvania are; John Deere, McCormick/Farmall , Ford, Oliver, Allis Chalmers, New Holland, Kubota, Case/International Harvester and Massey Ferguson. I could have missed some. I have worked on the farm in my early teen years, was raised in the farm country of south eastern Pennsylvania and still live in farm country. I shall try, in the near future and now that the weather is nicer, to get out and about the countryside and take a few more photos to send over. Probably by early May. We have many Amish farms here and in adjoining countys and of course they only use work horses and mules to pull equipment.
