I thought so too.

I've only ever seen one vintage Claas Combine on my travels.

I only remember the unimogs. It would be cool to see the military version of the TK I'm guessing none likely made it to NZ.

Because it's the louder engine of the two I'm guessing.

@@ScenicDriveProductions 2 ? we have 2 pans 1 is a push pull so thats 3 motors a tractor pan combo so now 5 and what? 3 dozers all 2 stroke so 8 screaming jimmys

it's a great sound.

Yes it's a good pulling tractor.

I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.

This is an ex-NZ Army truck. I think the British army had the same or similar trucks. Left-hand drives are fairly rare in NZ. I've yet to come across a left-hand drive Bedford I guess they would have made them.

They do well for an old tractor.

I thought so too.

@@ScenicDriveProductions Yeah I like that tractor! Never got to drive one though

I don't think I had seen one of these before. I like that it's got that ready for anything look about it.

As you probably have guessed I am a bit of a tractor nut. My youngest son bought me a remote control model of this John Deere. It is quite large and the grandkids enjoy playing with it when they come to visit

The grand kids would love it it's a cool looking tractor.

I guess the colour you either love it or hate it. I like it probably because it makes a change from the standard yellow.

It's a magic place. It's always at the top of my list of places I want to get back to.

Not sure what you are referring to.

It does. I don't see many 4WD of these around.

It would of been fairly new then. You've been in Australia a while, since not long before I was born :)

I have no idea. It certainly has an interesting look about it.

@@ScenicDriveProductions Thanks

Good spotting. Interesting it has a turbo.

I'd never seen one before. Hopefully when I get up north one day I will see more of them around.

This is one of the fellas from the tractor pull club. His tractors always do well.

I agree.

It's a cool engine. Unfortunately I didn't get any info on it but if I ever see it again I will see what I can do.

Yes it was early spring.

I never looked at it that way but I guess it does for the uninformed.

Thanks

Yes it's got a mean look to it.

Do you mean Wyndham Road?

I'm assuming you mean Wyndham Road. If so heres a video driving from the north end of Mataura to the Wyndham Campground along Wyndham Road. th-cam.com/video/OhHO9tHFnnA/w-d-xo.html

It's registered as a 1977 petrol CFQ which is clearly wrong otherwise I would have more info.

I have always thought how good one of these converted to tandem drive with a Cummins engine along with a roadranger gearbox. By the look of this one I would say it is a tipper

That would certainly perk it up. It does look like it's a tipper I couldn't investigate too much as there was a fire person across the road watching me.

Yes first time I've come across one of these.

Nice not many around.

Unfortunately I didn't get a lot of traction engine footage. I've uploaded three more separate engines in addition to this video th-cam.com/video/Ev6WuzVwGdY/w-d-xo.html where some of the engines were waiting to head out to the parade. There was a small amount of a dark blue engine and a miniature engine that I didn't upload. Hope this helps.

Thanks and yes it's not much of a video of it running and driving which is why I didn't put that in the title.

How much is the price for two Inter-National tractors?

Some of them at the start I remember playing on in the early 80's as a kid. A lot I've never seen before or don't remember. The only region of NZ I have never been to is Northland.

Thanks! 😊

It appears you are correct. I went by it's legal registration without double checking which has led me wrong again. Thanks for pointing it out.

Bit of a shame it got sold for scrap. This is only the second of these I've seen. The size of the motor indicates it must be a real workhorse. I believe there's two models of these. Yours would of been the earlier model used during the war.

@@ScenicDriveProductions I don't know how many HP the engine produced, a guess from here would be around 50-60. I know a David Brown Cropmaster from the period made 25 HP. Our version could pull a large trailed cultivator, while our equivalent DB Cropmaster had very big problems pulling the same. Yes, it's true, it was a shame it was scrapped, but at that time there were no people who wanted to buy the remains of an old worn-out tractor, even if there were 6 large wooden boxes with associated spare parts for the tractor.

I never really thought about it but that's very true.I did like the big plumes from the caterpillars but the noise from the detroits is unbeatable. Probably cheaper to run fuel wise with less wastage.

Off memory a little bit of the front is if you know when to look.

They seem popular. They're not that old maybe you can find another one.

They're a nice looking truck it's a shame not many are still on the road.

Looks and runs like new.

They seemed to do alright. I don't know a lot about them but the sound is fantastic. I like the colour too.

It certainly is.

Yes it is.

I just finished editing a few more 5000 and 2000 pulls and I agree. Not that good at all. In all fairness for this one the weight it's pulling most tractors struggled.

Yes they were and also the D9G.

I don't think it is.

I agree.

It could be worse it could be antique :)

Thank you 😊
