I've enjoyed going to such events since my late father and grandfather (Taid to me) took me as a child. Everyone at these event's are passionate about their machines, their pride and joy and only to willing to share their history.
Thanks for viewing and taking an interest.

Now that's a subject type that I think even my K7's tracking Autofocus could cope with! (well, No 2 anyway :wink

Some fascinating old tractors there, and interesting colour schemes. You've done well to isolate them so well from the backgrounds with those low viewpoints, which are very effective.

"...went to mow a meadow..."

Nice shots Al, I do like vintage transport.

I particularly like the white coloured mine clearance vehicle being driven in reverse (no.4)

It`s good that people are passionate and keep history alive, a lot of hard work going on in the tractor pull and it shows.
C&C welcome.

That last one shows the sheer power that some of these tractors have! Getting more popular now, you watch the American's on Sky Turbo with the 4x4 units, when they open them up, it's black smoke everywhere!!

If I remember rightly, this tractor unit was actually imported from the States and had been modified a little to give it more muscle. 💪
