Ive tried to capture i bit more of the soul of the show, the banter outside the beer tent about each others machines, the unknown dangers of the working exhibits, the oddball stuff that isn't easily recognised, Machines we'd all like to have a go at making at home. The Walls Family Rack saw bench this year was powered by a Fordson E27N Perkins P6 Major for a short spell, An interview with Alastair about his truly magnificent Gold IH Farmall BMD & matching IH B300 plough which only a few were sprayed gold for the Queens coronation in 1953.
Ian showing us how easy an IH Farmall F12 tvo is to swing off in the ring, & look round a homemade Marshall Mp4 prototype built from a fowler crawler.
An little bit of drone coverage of the vast expansion of tractors & equipment on show this year showing a little bit room for more growth over the next years.
Another rare sight was a pair of "Victoria" Oil Ploughing engines built by Walsh & Clark Ltd Guiseley Leeds proving difficult to start along with a Pampa Tractor, Lanz-Bulldog & Fords N.
