the showman 4,074 #1 Posted October 30, 2016 Some of you Wheelhorse owners will remember i did a couple of round-ups back in 2012 /13 at Ardingly and had a lot of support. Sadly the vintage show wound up and we've been having them in North Yorkshire that Mark ( Meadowfield) has been organising. Ive been asked by several owners to do another round-up in the south so us southern boys can get together and show off our tractors. Ive been looking for a suitable site and have decided to have it at Biddenden Tractorfest, its a lovely flat site with loads of room and a working area. It will be held on August 19 / 20 so if i could have a show of hands to see if anyone's interested it would be great. I know there's a lot of Wheelhorse's in the south so here's your chance to show them off and make history!!! 5 Joseph, Triumph66, HeadExam and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joseph 332 #6 Posted October 30, 2016 We can't make RPT next year but Biddington would be good. If we can get it sorted in time we may be able to bring a D160 and/or D200. A few Bolens too of cause 5 HeadExam, the showman, harryt and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vegikev 126 #7 Posted December 18, 2016 yes this is still going ahead, what's Harrys age as it was raised at a meeting that all ride ON's fall under the road traffic act so as well as the correct insurance all exhibitors will need to have a the correct licence for their ride on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 4,458 #10 Posted December 19, 2016 Unless things have changed, a 16yr old can drive a tractor on the road. There are/were certain restrictions as to what can be towed. Also a 16yr old can/could take a tractor test. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neil 524 #17 Posted April 1, 2017 vegikev has mentioned insurance for garden tractors at,shows , if you bring a static exhibit does this have to have insurance too , as I may bring my senior but don't want to insure it just for one show , Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #18 Posted May 30, 2017 I may bring the Billy Goat. Need to fill the trailer so Chris and Alan can't while I'm not looking. 2 the showman and Alan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jarrovian 237 #19 Posted May 30, 2017 Hi NEIL yes you do need insurance for static display as all rally fields are classed as public areas however you might possibly only need public liability insurance but please check with organiser first Dave (ex rally organiser) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neil 524 #20 Posted May 31, 2017 Will each tractor need its own insurance ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #21 Posted May 31, 2017 Yes. Insurance for each tractor is required. For two wheel horses and the Sears/Roper it's about £90 with Cherished insurance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
