My slightly warped look at Tractorfest

Recommended Posts

Evening all, what a busy, hectic and fantastic weekend Tractorfest has been.. It has left me feeling shattered but I can't wait for next years show :D

 

Anyway, my brain has been awake enough today to grab a few stills from my video footage for you all, I might of got a little carried away :D

 

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

One of those "Gulp" moments as I do my first ever talk over a PA system to the crowds!

While the Showman ran off and hid from the microphone :D

Steve made a valiant start on turning the soil in the working area with the Jobber..

But due to the show only being on for 2 days the reinforcements were called in :D

 

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.
