Default Austrian Dampffest

I have a friend in Austria who is very keen on ploughing engines and has sent me these pictures on a CD taken at an event which took place earlier this year in Austria. The ploughing engines are Heucke engines, very similar to English built Fowlers, and as you can see from the plate built quite late in 1928. It is quite rare to see steam cultivation taking place in mainland Europe so I understand so this was an unusual sight for visitors to the rally.

Also present at the event were the green Fowler Roller, Ruston & Hornsby portable and another brown roller which I don't know the maker.
