fordsonmajortom 4 #1 Posted March 16, 2014 This is my Cat D2 which I got last year having it's first outing this year. Always wanted one and have the space. When one came up for sale 2 miles down the road I purchased it. Michael 1 Stormin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian 2,417 #4 Posted March 16, 2014 Hi Michael, long time no see... That's my kind of Cat, big enough to look mean but not too big As Nigel mentioned it would be great to see it (and you )at Tractorfest http://myoldmachine.com/topic/157-biddenden-tractorfest-2014/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fordsonmajortom 4 #7 Posted March 17, 2014 Thanks to you all for the invitation to Tractorfest but the only problem is transport as I have nothing to move it on the road. Could take sometime driving it there at 5mph not to mention the boys in blue. I spent about an hour on it on Saturday not the most comfortable of rides. It must have been very tiring driving them day in day out.Tractor drivers were much tougher in those days. The PO bought her in Wales and used to do ploughing matches with a trailer plough. He fitted the top rollers and a pto assy. Runs very well 4.1 Litre about 40hp at a very leasurely 1650rpm. Michael Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 2,417 #8 Posted March 19, 2014 Could you not put it on a trailer behind a Wheel Horse to bring it to the show? Ok, the top speed may be the same but the Wheel Horse will be a more comfy drive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fordsonmajortom 4 #9 Posted March 19, 2014 Good idea, a Wheel Horse would pull it but we might get a bit of brake fade going downhill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 2,417 #10 Posted March 20, 2014 Maybe do the down hill parts in reverse.. That should give you more control You might want to fit some very wide mirrors to you Wh though so you can see around you Cat on the trailer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simar kid 22 #11 Posted March 30, 2014 go cross country in the night should only take you less than a day . I once went to Manchester on a tractor and it took me 9.5 hours,only because the owner was to tight to get a low loader. two other tractors came with me ,we all had trailers loaded as well. tight mother never forget that EVER Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
