TITCH 84 #1 Posted January 27, 2014 For us anyway, not so much like the kit they use in the USA on the odd few thousand miles across the plains. County tractors still to date create massive interest over here, especially in Forestry work. I have quite a few friends with County & Roadless too... it's all about Traction!!

Stormin 4,458 #7 Posted January 28, 2014 Had a bit of a drive in a Roadless Land Rover once. Slow and hard work. No power steering on that thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 1,900 #8 Posted January 28, 2014 I love county conversions, here's the tractor pull at our local show (BVG) a few years ago. These things just go and go and go.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TITCH 84 #9 Posted January 28, 2014 Awesome purpose made serious capable kit! I was very fortunate, and indeed quite proud a week ago, to be in the presence of probably more than 25 County Conversions at a collectors property... That was quite possibly one of my own personal highlights of the decade... for obvious reasons no names mentioned, but I felt highly honoured to be there!
