Better still, trade that old heap in for a Toyota Rav 4 when the time comes, as it surely will. Then you'll know the meaning of reliability like never before.

Me, I prefer 'club hammer' maintenance....Will stick with the good old Landy...Apart from that, I have all the specialist tools!

Why do you need a chelsea tractor?

Ken Gregory said...

To tow a horse box, to get animal feed...to tow a caravan, to get hay, to get bedding for the animals, to take pigs to market, to get out in the snow, any other questions?

Does any one know of a 'green' vehicle that is capable of towing 3.5 tonnes of hay?
