Yesterday I had our yearly road run of the local old-timer tractor club. Our host was the largest farm of the Netherlands the Royal Wilhelminapolder. We had marvellous whether and a beautiful scenery.
In august we have the threshing and ploughing day at the same farm. Hope to show you some more pictures of the farm then.

You have a really nice Super, Frans. The Empire Blue Conestoga Wagon is pretty cool, too.

Frans,

Nice wagon.
Is it allowed to use the wagon at road runs?
Our club wont allow it, because of insurants problems.

Nice vagon.

What is the 16km/h sign for? Are You not allowed to drive faster than 16km/h or what?

Frans · Post by **Frans** » Fri May 29, 2009 9:20 pm

Hello Henk,

Yes in the roadruns we are still allowed to use this wagons, for myself I think it saver than on the mudgards or some thinks in the hydraulics

Grani,

Its a sign from the 60's when they wher not allowed to drive faster than 16 km/h now for tractors its allowed to drive 25 km/h (thats what the law said )but there are also 40 50 signs and there is a firm who makes trikes and they may go 80 km/h.

I just put it there because I didn't had the original ornaments for a export SM. I have them now and must do the paint job to put them on. I think the sign goes to the front axel

Congratulations, Henk!

According to the text with the video, you were driving a JD and your friend Kees drove your Major.
Was that a mistake in the text, or did you switched tractors for the occassion?
I guess there was a mixed up in the text, because on the video your are driving your Major.
