Newby Hall Tractor Fest

Recommended Posts

Managed to get up to Tractor Fest at Newby Hall today, never managed to get there in the past for various reasons which is a bit poor when it's only 20 miles away. Great show and the weather was brilliant. Met Paul and Gemma and later John (jmd) both with great model displays,  great to be able to put faces to the names.

Took a lot of photos, random selection below.

Great to meet you and your wife too Gavin, have to echo what John says, Newby is a fantastic show, and to be fair there isn't many manufacturers not represented in one form or another on the rally field, hope you both enjoy your trip down Wales and fingers crossed you get some good weather too.

Certainly a good showing of the Nuffield and Leland brands!

I’m interested to know if the David Brown 1800 is a factory build or a custom? It also had Matbro badging and was clearly based on a Mastif….I’ve never heard of it before.

Most definitely a good turn out Gavin, though missing an 804.... And maybe a bit of Bathgate 6 pot power in a 285 or 2100... Yes the artic brown is a cob thing, likewise we spotted the matbro badging... Reckon would need the knowledge of a good brown  fan to know if it was something of an experimental design that never made production or it's just a lockdown project to be a focal talking point and be something different. Will hopefully get a few more photos of the reds and blues today to post up 👍
