57th World Ploughing Match,NZ
 

Been out there today with about 22 engines along with a Case engine (60hp)that has come to NZ a few mouths ago.Over 420 tractors and lots of ploughs.3 of your ploughs are there,5 furrow McLaren,2 furrow Keetley (Made in Kaiapoi NZ) and very old J.Barrowman. Garry

Hi Gary, It was an excellent show. The Case is a 50 although it did develop 60 bhp on the belt at 240rpm. John

And the smoke box was smoking towards the end of the test. Garry

Methven was fantastic, Only trouble is can't get out of the country. Supposed to fly out last Tuesday and at moment no sign of getting a flight.

If I knew how to post a link I would, but I don't, so if anyone's interested in searching for Millars Tractor Spares on Youtube, they'll find some good footage of John Winter on Buck, teaching a drag tractor a lesson

Earle, you beat me too it, and I dont know about links either. I copied this address down, maybe it helps www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLQhvruimfs. There is more than 1 video.

Robert the Bruce has sent me the following pictures taken over the weekend:

Thanks to Robert the Bruce for the photos, it was a great event with approx 1000 vintage exhibits. A dvd is being produced and I will post a few photos in due course. A novelty for us was the presence of Roger Mahon's Case.

Photo 10 is Foden 656 Built 1903.I had worked on this engine about 27 years ago on the tender and back wheels.This engine was on TT last year when it was for sale on Trademe.It was good to see it again and with rubber on the wheels.

Some more, this time from a NZ chap who looks at Steam Scenes:

It would be nice to put numbers to the engines above, does anybody have a list of engines at the rally?
