Dist:0.5km<br/>A line up of very rare and unusual tractors were seen at the Codicote Stem and Country Show. This County Super 6 has the Ford 6 cylinder engine and delivers about 110 hp which in the mid 1960's was a powerful tractor.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Seen at Mansells farm countryside show, this is a Fordson Major that has been converted by Chaseside who were agricultural engineers who went on to develop a range of loading shovels, eventually taken over by JCB. This machine has a 6 cylinder Ford industrial engine so some modifications including extending the bonnet and chassis rails and turning the front axle round to accommodate the bigger sump.
