Some old photos of Ransomes

Recommended Posts

Just finished scanning these photos and had a quick read at the latest posts on the skimmer thread.

There is only that one photo of the skimmer, the rest have been taken at different rallys and show other Ransomes MGs.

 

From the look of some of the photos they were taken quite a while ago, in among the photos I found a brochure for the 1992 Great Dorset Steam Fair which would back this up.

I did not know when I was bidding on the piece of Ransomes literature that these photos would be included, the seller just added them in.

I had sort of figured that since all the other photos were likely from down round the south that the photo of the skimmer would be from the same general area.

Here's the pics, anyone recognise any of the machines?

Interesting crop protectors on the MG6, have not seen those before. Does anyone know what crop they might be for?

 

Judging by the vehicles in the background these pictures were taken a good few years ago.

Not sure if they were designed with any particular crop in mind, I could see them being of benefit in any inter-row work. I haven't seen that type before either, the inter-crop dividers that I've seen in one of the manuals are pointed and spread out either side of the tracks.
