One of my unusal bits .again ive had a lot of years and gets more interest than anything else in my collection
Made by Robinson s of Winchester.
Paul mackellow also now owns one with a hedge cutter attachment of which we usually display these
machines together and both run except mine is very temperamental unlike pauls.

Here's another machine I aquired last year at Ardingly it could be said an HSE nightmare.it also has a circular saw attachment for cutting down saplings.

Best part of. The video for me was Mr showman with my colwood, new I could turn him from them Old wheelhorses, already had him on a proper tractor to this year as in my monarch just proves you need a change mate lol

yes a big thanks to steve , top job mate :thumbs:

Great video lads, Steve D made a great job of the commentary as well, top job mate  

Hi Guy's, sorry I've been a bit slow getting the Tractorfest videos sorted.. But a start has been made.. So I don't upset my ISP by using too much bandwidth I can only upload 1 video a day..
 
So here's the first, Day one in the arena..    Thank you to Ben for the camera duties
 

No mate, we don't want to follow the herd !!   

Colwood display planned for Smallholders Show 2015, I think between us we can put on quite a layout...

im affraid your wrong angus here is the spec plate for the emblem!!!!

Four Jobbers at Tractorfest today...
 
 

A big thankyou to all who came today and made it all happen, a grand lineup.

This was purchased today at the Ringmer Steam and Country Show, its a Colwood model B mark 2, the mark 2 denoting that it has a drive from the engine that can power other machinery such as a cutter bar, generator etc...
 
 

Between me and thee we have a reasonable selection now Steve...

hi paul, officially 65 but a few more late ones are in the post, a good number i think. last year we had 27 horticultural machines and 7 stationary engines. not sure about the stationary engines this year as they have a seperate section but we have more than doubled our section and i have not added the loan exhibits ( weeks) yet until ive been down there to finalise things

That's great mate, steady progress each year is the way to go

A number of copies of Amateur Gardening turned up today, in one dating from 1965 I found this advert...
 
 

terrex spade and jobbers working that should be a site lol

Questions about the forum or it's functioning can never rock the boat.  I'm here to help you take full advantage of the forum and if something isn't working help get it resolved or understood.
 
We use a purchased software which is highly customizable, BUT there aren't any options to alert members when their attachment space is reaching capacity, I wished that there would be it would certainly resolve some frustration.  
 
With the addition of the Gallery however, it will be easier to see when members approach the 40 picture limitation. 
 
Again, no rocking the boat, we do our best to insure that the forum is highly available whether or not you're a supporter.   For more information on the supporter program see here

very many thanks for this Karl sorry if this rocked the boat a bit but my thaughts were had any other members had this problem and was this why some postings had dropped off ,I see now you have also changed the log in page explaining this ,the only other question I have .Is there a way if non supporters come to there maximum upload of pictures it could flag up to the user in question that they need to become a supporter/paid up member to get the full benefits of the site as with some other forums?
or otherwise if people have the same problem I have had they will walk away. This is a great site and long may it live.
thanks in advance
steve.

Thanks Chris
 
Same again next year then folks ??

John Bedford (Mr SEVAC) came over to me this afternoon and said that our display was the best that he had seen at the Smallholders Show. !!!.
Just goes to show that between us with the equipment we all have and exhibit, we get noticed and have a right laugh doing it.
Isnt that the reason we do it.
Big cheer for Paul & Wendy and all the other exhibitors for a great weekend. Well done everyone 

well i thought it was about time i got on with a few bits with the old nash mowers particularly the latest arrival that came 3 weeks ago from wanstrow somerset from my mate jason
i knew the spark had gone so required a points clean luckily this machine has the inspection hole in the flywheel so easy once that was attended to she fired straight up i had hoped to video the proceedings but before i could get the camera going it ran out of fuel i had only used a thimble of fuel
anyway i will get a vid up soon if you can see through the cloud of smoke they produce when running here are a few pics anyway now ive given her a bit of a clean up
  
now all i need is some new rollers for the old girl and she will be just peachy
