JohnP Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Well, it hasn't been a good year for farming with me, but I have seen some odd bits and pieces. First of all, at some "Open gardens" in N.Yorks with the family, I was distracted by a diesel engine noise which I first thought was a Fergie...turns out to be a Dexter levelling a pony paddock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 When out with the family, we often end up on the coast for Fish n'Chips (proper fresh fish from the local ports !). I wasn't popular when I dissapeared for 1/2hr to cacth the Lifeboats at Bridlington, first an MF...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 But I don't know what make what the crawler is. The local lifeboat at my work in Anglesey (Treadurr Bay) has a lovely County, all sea-proofed but i haven't seen that in the open yet for a photograph.

JohnP Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 I made a topic about sea-side tractors a couple of years ago, but it's not often I find any "at work" - an MF and Case also at Bridlington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 I was lucky enough to see a field of Peas being worked on the Wolds on my way home from work at Brough, but by the time I'd got parked up, the Viners had moved away to the far side of the field and i was only left with the trailers....

JohnP Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 Still, it was interesting to chat to the driver for a while. Despite the Hull Birds Eye factory closing, a lot of peas are still grown round here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 Finally (for now) a couple from my recent holidays. First of all, this smart Deutz was used with a special trailer for refuse collection in the village of Neustift, south of Innsbruck. And this little single-cylinder, 4-wheel drive contraption was at one of the Mountain "Huts" (at about 2300m/7,600 feet) we stayed at while trekking round the Stubai Valley (yes, the weather was grim that day, so we were ready for something warm after a 9-hour trek !)

robbo Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I think the crawler towing the boat was a special build for the RNLI by Mike Bigland as were many of the County conversions around the country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
