The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

Hi,

Did anyone see the article in most of the papers yesterday about the accident on the set of "Heartbeat" it appears a Fordson Major somehow ran out of control down a hill injuring some film crew in it's path. I also believe there was someone in the transport box at the time.

Article said it was driven by a stuntman who in a panic forgot to pull the engine stop!! should have been driven by someone who knows something about tractors!!.

Here it is.

Hi,

I very much hope this will not prompt the HSE to make fitting roll bars compulsory on vintage tractors, I would hate to put such ugly looking things on my tractors.

Regards,

Barry

Hi all - for a tractor which has rolled over it hasn't got much damage to the tinware!!! Regards - Michael.
