[edit] 2009 Event
The Event featured a good range of Pre 1930 tractors, including the Richard Hornsby & Sons Ackroyd oil engine tractor from 1896. The oldest working internal combustion engined tractor in the UK (& probably the world).
The Ford and Ferguson Association had their Marque on site and put on a good display of Ford and Fordsons. (Just packed too tight when you have park land of several 100 acres to used).
Another featured make was John Deere with probably the biggest collection of JD green tractors this year.
The Marshall Tractor Club gathered a large number of there Field Marshall tractors together for the event.
And in the Red and grey corner the Ferguson Tractor Club had a selection of tractors from a Ferguson-Brown through to a Massey Ferguson 1130. (Again packed too tight and fenced in to restrict viewing) !! So very few Photos will appear on here of Fergies at this event.
Very few of the commercials and Cars turned up due to the weather on the Saturday. The Ring parade of tractors was understandably cancelled due to the water logged state of the ground. It was drying up nicely by the afternoon, so dependant on overnight rain it may have been possible to run the parades on the Sunday. (The Author was only present on Saturday)
[edit] Catering
A common theme from talking to people was very poor compared to other events (range (1 tent) & high prices being the concern expressed).
[edit] 2008 Event
The main featured Marque was Allis-Chalmers
A selection of rare early models was also present (pre 1930s), including Bull Motors and Mogul
A selection about a Dozen Field Marshalls were nicely grouped together.
And a wide range of other makes with some grouped and others randomly arranged.
