Random tractor pic from Iceland

[RedMF40]

I took this pic earlier in January along the south coast of Iceland. Unusually sunny but very windy day. Mostly snow and ice in the rest of the country so was grateful for fair weather this day. Don't know the make of the tractor, assuming it's an old Zetor made in Czech republic since they're big in Iceland.

That's a nice picture. Iceland? Do us a favor? Post pictures of and from Iceland from time to time. I'd really like to see it. Thanks for sharing this one.

Looks like a DeutzFahr to me? Maybe?

My dad was in Iceland a while in WWII. Told some great stories of things he saw and did. He was in army intelligence.

Ja Iceland was whole different animal during your father's time. Still a wild place, but a bit more "discovered" than when I first started visiting years ago.

Thanks for the positive tractor ID, Hendrik from Germany ;-)

This is a few days before the other photo with the tractor. That was in the south part of the country. This one is all the way up top at the north end. You get an idea of the loneliness and unforgiving nature of the landscape when you look at this photo of an abandoned sheep farm. I am always amazed that someone chose to live in these places. BTW there is a large, fast-moving stream across the road from this house--a good source of fresh water.
