Little crackers

If my memeory is any good (which it isn't very often), a firm called Lancaster used to do the conversion to forward control, amongst others.  That tank looks remarkably like an old Chafer, if my eyes are right you can see where the decal was.

yeah Lancaster did the conversion on MB tracs otherwise known as Lanc tracs when MB production ceased South Cave tractors did the conversion for Unimogs

that is a Chafer tank most forwrd control units were fitted with spray packs according to customers needs ;)

The MB was converted by Thomas Sheriff & Co, a local company in the Scottish Borders. It was then sent to Chaffer to be fitted out with sprayer kit.( Doncaster ) The booms you see now are Cleanacres own, fitted a few years ago. The MB is on an `E` plate

Lancaster bros did do MB conversions, but the Lan Tracs were purpose built.

Own Chassis with air assist suspension, Deere power systems engines & powershift, Deere 6000 forager cabs.  Alloy tanks and booms.

Very, very well made and they were well ahead of their time.

Salmons used to run them before selling up.
