BC Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Well today I set off early and went 50 miles down the road to a place called Guthrie which is between Brechin and Forfar in Angus. The location was the farm of Ian Robertson of Hilton of Guthrie a Massey Harris tractor collector and to day was his charity working open day of mainly Massey Harris tractors with some International’s too. I arrived before 9 am to have a good look around and see his and the incoming exhibits. First to arrive was Steven Robson from the Chain Bridge Honey Farm in Berwick ( JDC’s patch) with his 1960 ERF 8 wheeler with a Massey Harris and Case tractor on board.

I've never seen so many Massey Harris tractors and implements in one place so it was nice to see. I hope Ian makes it a yearly event and adds more International's too since I would not mind having another shotty with my Cub and Ransome trailing plough ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Ians son is Hamish a lad that i went to the young farmers with. It looked a nice part of the country Peter but it was a bit windy but at least it was dry. A really nice day out. Yes there was a Hamish Robertson running about in a 4 x 4 and getting keys and sockets etc to repair the slipping clutch on the IH TD9.

If I'm back though I'll try and get better shots. I understand they also run a quarry business and run some of the monster type of dump trucks.
