I love the sound of these tractors, such as gentle but powerful exhaust note!

[@stephensmith799]

Very memorable scent: manure, farmyard camomile and TVO!

[@simonworman7898]

Nice work,lots of skill and experience Tvo tractor running well Not an easy plough to use unlike the later ransome model

Il y a 50 ans, un fermier du voisinage en utilisait encore un, le tracteur était en fin de vie, quand eloi, ( le fermier) passait une vitesse, on l'entendait à 500metres,mais le tracteur tirait sa charge. Bonjour de la Belgique wallone

Petrol ? Or petrol kerosene ? Petrol to start only ? Those I worked with was. Start on petrol when cold, turn to paraffin( kerosene) once warmed up ?. Can almost smell it now just watching.

Hi Brian, you are right, thanks for pointing it out. Much appreciated. Dave

Just goes to show ,if you are a real ploughman you can do a good job with any kit. I am sure this man knows his tractor and plough,but there are easier combos. Early short Ransome plough? and as previous comment the quirky nature of an e27n with it's roots way back in 1917

[@stephensmith799]

Ah… That sound and THAT smell!

[@dickgoodey2528]

I don't think a 1946 Fordson Major would be built with a 3point linkage, this was just Grey Fergies back then.
My first drives were on these TVO tractors, I can smell them now

[@simonworman7898]

You could fit an wfter market kit ,I think?

And in Wales too. A kind of parrafin.

In Australia T.V.O. was known as "Power Kerosene" to distinguish it from "Lighting Kerosene". In the States T.V.O. was called "Distillate", which was confusingly the name we used for Diesel Fuel here in Australia!
