Auto-Mower
From Tractor & Construction Plant Wiki
Auto-Mower of Norton nr. Bath, England built a range of conversions based on mainly Fordson Major tractor skid units.
Probably best Known for building Line pulling (winch) tractors used by companies erecting Power transmission lines on pylons. The tractors generally had a large winch on a stretched frame with the front axle moved forwards, and anchor spud legs on the back. Most had a triangular frame over the top with a large guide pulley for the winch cable at the top.
They also built Roller conversions for Fordson tractors and later going on to build simple diesel road rollers.
One machine that they also built was a "Pole Erector" Machine again for utility contractors.
