robbo Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Whilst I am a little long in the tooth to belong to a Young Farmers Club, I still went along as a spectator to their charity road run today. I counted 91 tractor taking part on a route through North Cheshire/south Warrington.

One thing that stuck out to me was the absence of any Leyland tractors and also no Sames especially as we used to have a very good dealer in the area. I won't post all 91 photos but here are just a few to give you an idea: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share Posted February 12, 2023 I would say that the most common JD's were the 6195R and the commonest NH was the T7.220 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
