Hi, My six year old son has a name for most of my tractors and I guess I do too on a bad day... My Bolens HT23 is called Big White and unsurprisingly my D series Wheelhorses are called Big Red. One of my Westwood D1200 is called The Outback tractor because it lost it's storage and was left at the back of the house for ages. Many of the others have names too which only he can remember. One of my favourite tractors is one of my Bolens H16's which is known as The Rescue tractor. This is the machine of choice for dragging broken tractors and cars to the workshop, mainly because it is very reliable and strong as an ox. Most of the time it is fitted with dual rear wheel weights which gives it amassing traction and a sleeve hitch operated by the hydraulics. Do you have names for your tractors and if so are they any more unusual than the names mine have? A few pictures of The Rescue tractor having fun in winter and dragging home a broken Westwood D1200 and Wheelhorse D-200. Iain

I agree they are cool little machines. I have two Westwood D1200's which are very economical to run if a bit noisy. I have attached a couple of pictures of one of them. I added Countax wheels which are wider and have a greater offset and chevrons. The bodged 50mm ball hitch on the back was because I needed to move my 14ft Ifor trailer in a hurry and it did the job surprisingly well. This one has the standard specification ripped seat too.

Whilst at Seddlescombe our gazebo broke and I thought I would buy a new one as a surprize for Pam. Well, she was all excited when the delivery man dropped it off and everything went well until I got it out of the box then she started, to big, wrong colour, there's just no pleasing some people

This is the 2nd Mayfield Merlin to be built & is part of my collection. Some of you may have seen it before else where Needs restoration & tlc. Hopefully when our child arrives & gets a bit older they will help me

Well, yet another day in the shack trying to get the 6x6 driving again, and what do I have to show for it!!! Only a few photo's that were grabbed from some video footage Going in!!! In! Coming back out after remembering 1 second too late that there was a tree on it's side in the nettles! The Raider looks like it's angry with me! At least it wasn't only me that crashed the poor Raider And to finish off..... Going up

I'm thinking for all the pain, you could have just inflated the middle wheels to 30 psi and dropped the front and rears to 10 psi....

never really thought about it... but I guess two of our fleet have names I've got C4 which is my 4WD conversion... Bendy

Good to see this build is almost started James, I will be following with interest
