STUNNING RESTORED DOE CARRIER AT BIGGEST ALLIS SALE The biggest Allis-Chalmers preservation sale of tractors, crawlers and implements comes up on Saturday June 2 to be conducted by HJ Pugh near Ongar, Essex. It’s on behalf of Michael Read, a long-life devotee of the make, but that’s not all. Also in the sale are two stunning original Fordson Super Major New Performance tractors that are one-owner machines. There is also a lovely 1946 Field-Marshall Series One (KHK 438) and a wonderful fully restored Doe tool carrier. In fact, most of the tractors here were supplied by Ernest Doe one way or another. Michael said: “I have been collecting for many decades and quite frankly I enjoy doing the tractors up more than taking them to shows. It’s the right time…

There is a lot of interest in Allis-Chalmers, particularly with its crawlers, which Classic Plant & Machinery has been covering with a very detailed series by Paul Tofield. Michael Read near Ongar, Essex, has decided it’s time to sell his wonderful collection, which he first came to remember and ride on when he was five. In fact, he has that very first one-owner tractor in the collection which HJ Pugh is to sell on Saturday June 2. However, that’s not all: there are two stunning original Fordson Super Major New Performance that again are one-owner machines in the sale. There is so much to this sale. It includes a lovely 1946 Field-Marshall Series One (KHK438), stationary engines, implements including some stunning ploughs like ’60s John Deeres, and a just wonderful…

An auction of equipment, machinery and tractors was held at Epworth near Doncaster on March 14 under the instructions of N&R Lindley due to the farm being sold. Cheffins were in charge of proceedings with Bill King and Oliver Godfrey taking turns in selling the various lots during the sale. A good crowd had gathered as they were sold, most of which had been new to the farm. The condition of the John Deeres was excellent, especially since at least four of them were over 20 years-old. At the cheaper end of the market was a 1996 6600 Power Quad four-wheel drive that had got 8,241 hours on the clock and still sold for £17,800, while a 6900 Power Quad from 1995 did slightly better by selling for £19,000. Staying…

Last weekend Farmer Brown and I had a pleasant evening of nostalgia, looking through our old family photographs armed with a magnifying glass, because it’s gone a bit like that here (though Farmer Brown likes to blame our energy saving lightbulbs for his eyesight problems as he says they are weak). Farmer Brown always looks at the vehicles in these old black and white pictures while I like to study what people were wearing. Photographs of our farming ancestors always feature men in suits. If it was a wedding, they are in their best suit, if they are off to market they are in their second-best suit, if they are mending walls or forking hay into a cart they are in their scruffy, threadbare suit. The women are all in…

FIFA DIARY  It’s Champo League knockout time in our Career Mode! ★ Like in real life, our Barça team played Chelsea and drew the first leg 1-1 at Stamford Bridge. With The Blues needing to score at the Nou Camp, we set up with a 4-3-3 to keep the ball and launch lightning counter-attacks. We had 65% of the possession, and drew 0-0 to qualify! ★ Our FBs Jordi Alba and Nelson Semedo played a big role in taking us through. With their instructions set to ‘always overlap’, they’re available for a quick switch of play to help keep the ball, and because they’re so quick, they’re sick at getting us further up the pitch when we’re under pressure! ★ After getting through that tie, we’ve got a monster week…

Scotland welcomed Tractor World’s new venture, and there was a buzz of excitement around the historic showground, writes Bob Weir. The Royal Highland Showground is one of the most prestigious arenas in Scotland and is next door to Edinburgh airport. It is only a short distance from two of the country’s major motorways, and the new Queensferry Crossing over the Firth of Forth. The site is owned by the Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland and was originally opened in 1960. The showground was recently given a £75m upgrade and attracts over one million visitors each year. Local enthusiasts had recently endured the weather’s icy grasp with the ‘Beast from the East’, and the show was the perfect pick me up to kick start the new show season. All…

The Malcolm Stammers and friends sale, organised by Peter Love in association with HJ Pugh, on Saturday March 17 (originally to be staged March 3, but cancelled owing to snow) saw two world sale records achieved. It took place on hard standing at Paul Rackham’s site near Snetterton, Norfolk, in what was described as the coldest sale many had ever attended with snow flurries chucked in.

Auctioneer Howard Pugh said he was pleased to have this job done; it had…
