hi all, does anyone out there own one now or in the past, or know someone that does, just trying to get some adea as to how good they are??

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

Nigel and Noddy ploughing. This was Nigel's first time ploughing, by the end of the weekend he had it down to a fine art.

well done to nigel and the "noddy" holder, its supprising what you can get out of a tank of diesel and a jar of nescafe!!  :D

hi ian your bmb man would be peter harris, as you say a very nice chap

So let's start with Kev and his finger chasing a water leak on the Weeks..

thats what happens when you get old

hi all, now that i vegi-junior and i have settled in back home from a very busy weekend at biddenden tractorfest i would like to thank everyone for coming and help make the horticultural section truly amazing with 92 exhibits !!!. also the great effort to those who turned the old manure site into a newly seeded plot for the land owner who was most greatful and has already introduced me to next years working area! which is even bigger. this year was so much bigger than last year and quite a challenge for me to put this section together as this was only my second attempt at organising a show section, with this in mind i would like to thank steve d and paul mackellow for their help and support building up to and during the show. last but not least i would like to thank veg-junior for being teaboy, runner and entertainer even after his clifford spat out a starting handle and fixed him right on the chin!.congratulations to rob farmer who won the first “oily rag trophy†with his wrigley display.
oh and andy frost deserves a special thank you, after a long day at work he still made it on friday evening after being stuck on the a12 in essex for what must of felt like a lifetime.
again thank you to all involved

hi andrew, the show is on saturday 23rd and sunday 24th, i hope this does not affect your plans to visit as it would be great to

see you and meet other members..... there will be tea and coffee waiting for you

there will be wheelhorses and at least one bolens at the show, including the trachorse and 6x6 raider

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

mine arrived yesterday   thanks paul

yes neil , both are
