Tractor run about to leave to join everyone else in Devizes as part of the annual Tractor N’ Tinsel Run 2025 on Sunday 21st December.
We were delighted to support Devizes Young Farmers Charity Tractor run on Sunday – a great turnout.
“The first pod included many vintage tractors before the big modern beasts arrived. Devizes Young Farmers’ volunteers, particularly those too young to travel by tractor collected money from the crowd for this year’s chosen charities (Wiltshire Air Ambulance, Bugs Fund(Burns Unit Group Support) and Salisbury Hospital’s Star Appeal). It’s not too late to make a contribution, click here for the Just Giving page.”
Thanks to Tristan, George, Mark & Charlie
The tractors in action
These were the tractors we used:
MB trac 1000 (green)
The oldest in the fleet, first registered in 1985, so very much a vintage machine.
Built by Mercedes but no longer in production.
This was the one we rebuilt the engine on back in April – read our link to our post here
Valtra 121
Fitted with a front loader and first registered 2012
This was the tractor seen on the wire unroller putting up the deer fence recently
Used in a multitude of different tasks on a daily basis
Valtra 234 Active (blue)
This is the most modern one – registered new in 2021
Used to move large machinery to site
Colour-coded front toolbox with integrated fuel tank – blue
Valtra 8450 (red)
Date of first registration 2006
Nearly 20 years old, so almost vintage
