Classic Vintage Tractors If you
drive around the countryside you might be lucky enough to see some of the
hundreds of vintage tractors that are still widely spread across our land.
They can be found, in various states of repair, in farmyards, on
driveways, or in the gardens of houses in the most unexpected places - or
just left derelict on waste ground. A good place to see an extensive range
of some of the best examples of these ageing beasts is at one of the many
annual shows that are dotted around the country, where proud owners gather
to display their magnificent machines.

The World Of Heavy Haulage Today
we have a twenty-four hour haulage system in this country carrying
everything we need to keep our businesses and households functioning -
without it our society would grind to a halt within a few days. On our
farms, horses and oxen have been replaced, firstly by traction engines
then tractors, reducing the work force needed to feed the country from
around fifty-percent to about five.

Traction Engines At Work At
work in the fields, traction engines of the past didn't often get the
chance to shine. In this film, however, they've retired from dirty work
and have been beautifully preserved for your delight. On show at the Great
Dorset Steam Fair, these machines are still far from idle: there's hay to
be threshed, ploughs to be pulled and roads to be travelled.
