Yesterday I visited (what they say) the biggest festival on the mainland of Europe. It was held in the Southern part of the Netherlands. There were over 1.200 tractors and stationary engines.
Here 's a small selection of my pictures. I hope you like them.
Quite an unusual machine, I think.
This is an Unimog, an German machine, that is a mix of a truck and a tractor. Great machine, I think.
Brians favorite
Fordson N (I think)
An official Ford 6 cylinder conversion. Made in Belgium by E.V.A.
A bit of harvesting
A Fordson with a crane. In the old days, there were quite a lot of them in the Netherlands. Some of them were built on other brands, but usually Fordson.
While I was photographing this tractor, I met an Englishman, who had the same tractor at home. Surprisingly he didn't know who Brian was.
I gave him the address of the website. May be he will become a member too?
A home made Super Six
An original Super Six
A big County
I have never seen this before. A vineyard Ford 3000.
Special too, I guess, a vineyard SuperDexta
Super 4
The Harley Davidsons among the tractors (when running, the complete machine is moving).
These are from the brand Ursus. Originally they were built as Lanz Bulldog.One cylinder engines.
My future tractor?
This one had an original diecast sump.
US and UK next to eachother
Especially for Brian
Two Fendts (German tractors)
Italian Ford-conversions, I believe. They seem to be quite rare.
The tractorbrand, that got some extra attention this year, was Eicher. Special with this brand was that each cylinder could get out apart, so without getting the complete engine out.
This is an experimental ploughing-machine, based on an Eicher. It was designed by the Agricultural University in Wageningen (The Netherlands). It wasn't a great succes unfortunately.
Don't these wheels look formiliar to you?
Two Roadless conversions on Internationals
And last but not least, an E27N. In The Netherlands, they have the nickname Blue Heron
I hope you enjoyed these pictures.
