The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

I thought of starting this post yesterday evening when I went to get my car MOT'd. While waiting in the queue I heard that familiar, unmistakable sound. When I got out of the car and looked around the back of the car park, at the other side of the fence was a blue and white super dexta - with linkbox, drawing stones to fill in a drain.

Anyway made me smile, good to see the old girl working, and by the way my car passed!

There's one on a golf course in NWales

Mine was when i found mine in a hedge on a walk! i took a double take, went back and beat the bushes back a bit, and there it was, warts and all!

On a great big billboard advertising a rural bank on the main street of Levin in the North Island, even the kids recognised it, it was probably larger than a real one!

I guess advertisers see old tractors as the farmer's equivalent of your old fluffy toy!

Went to an evening air show at Old Warden on Saturday. They've got a nice Super Dexta they use to pull the planes about. Its been adapted a bit and has no hydraulics, underslung exhaust and a nice bench seat. It looked good pulling the tiger moths, hurricane, etc... Didnt take me camera with me but theres a few pics of it getting in the way of peoples plane pictures on the internet.

Heres one...


How long before the men in white coats take you and your dexta away?!

Here are 3 being corraled up for the night!
