This old girl sounded beautiful as it made its day around the ground later in the day.

That Rockol looks kind of small in that company, but with its Chrysler 6 cyl it was relatively powerful for its time.

Think it got overexcited by being at a show and wet itself! That sort of thing happens s you age.

My tractor does that sometimes. It's just marking its territory.

Unknown Dutch Tractor
Cannot make out the name of this one and do not recognise the shape. In those days, my camera was not as powerful as the ones I use today.

Probably a German built Kramer tractor, model pionier s. End 50’s early 60ies vintage.

Burrell

Burrell came from the town of Thetford, about 20 miles from me. They were one of the largest steam engine manufacturers in England and one of the oldest. Many years ago, I was talking to a local farmer who told me the tale of his grandfather, going to the works and collecting one of the early engines with a man in front on the steering platform and one at the rear feeding the fire. Neither had driven one and yet they got it home about 10 miles.

Waltana

Watana built pivot steer based on the Ford TW range. Waltana, an Australian company, built their own tractors and crawlers as well as building these. I believe these were sold as Ford tractors in Australia.

Buses
Tuesday Truck

These ones served our county during the 1960's and 70's. We have a saying "You wait for hours for a bus and then two come along at the same time". This is true!!!

Based on the tractors (and engines) which made a brief appearance here, years ago now, I assumed Deutz were all vertical, in line, air cooled. But, apparently, like other manufacturers at the time, they made these large single cylinder, horizontal, presumably two cycle, water cooled engines?

From what I have come across, the Deutz engines have all been diesels, but Emiel will correct me on that if I am wrong. When I first drove into Europe in early 1970's, Passing through Belgium, Holland and Germany down to Austria, the majority of tractors I saw were ones of this size with a cutter bar attached, made by Eicher and Deutz. Will have to look out my Super 8 films and see if I can get some stills from it of that time.

Thanks for your pictures Majorman.

Seeing different tractors from different countries is a treat.
