Nice pics Richard, that Deutz with the Fritzmeier cab is in amazing condition for its age.

thanks for the comment, yes it's from 1973 and was already operated by the father of the 40-year-old driver, who owns a farming contractor company normally using much more modern equipment. However, this example has been tuned with new wheels and is the proud of the company ...

I love the old Deutz 06 series tractors, used to drive a D80 06 during the summer of 76. I have been after a model of that model for ages but they are like hens teeth and cost as much as the real thing > >

loving the pictures mate

after some desperate and rather dangerous attempts of exiting the major road and finding a way leading to that field, I was finally rewared by four tractors operating on one ground:
