Good to see her out Bernese, 'Betsy' has worked through the winter, dragging 20 yr old hawthorn hedges and the like around the fields

Looking good! I managed to pull mine out of winter hibernation earlier in the year from its shed straight into the new Porsche dealer about a mile up the road from where it is kept. I was amazed that most of the staff had no idea that Porsche made tractors. I drove it back at around 9.30pm with the lights on and got plenty of thumbs up from other Porsche owners that were leaving the event.

A run to the pub the other month to blow the cobwebs out!

I really love the patina of that tractor. I am really sorry to ask but did you 'achieve' that look through renovation or is that original? I have seen people painting and fading colours and the like.

Just love it.

Wide 5s up front - just screaming out for a set of 356 slotted steels...

Evening, it's a combination of 60 years use, some hand painting (on the bonnet) at a guess around 20 years ago and some 15/40 clean engine oil applied with a torn up car wash sponge and the excess wiped off with a rag!
We figured we wouldn't be able to 'use' it if it was restored and just love the story that can be seen etc, with the red sump/engine case which must have come from another tractor many years ago and all the original parts, pattern bits just are not the same.
Thanks for the interest!
