I would like to share some pictures of the plowday that my dad held a few weeks ago on 9 septembre. It was a very nice and sunny day. About 10 treactors did come to plow in the field behind our house.
My dad droves on his D17 diesel with a 2 bottom Moline plow. A friend of my dad droves on oure WD-45 with a one bottom Overum plow. I was not able to have the right plow for my 190XT so I did some other field work on the land with a chissel plow. I also made pictures of this day and some movies. I our new shed we served coffee and eat bread and soup.
It was a day with a lot of fun.
                                   Here are also some movies that I made from my XT when I was driving around the field.

Thats a great assortment of tractors and plows , many are ones we will never see in the US, I see a Unstyled - WC setting outside shed door , It must have had the day off as nothing behind it.

Thanks for sharing. A good variety of tractors there. I like the Lanz Bulldog. I have heard it was a single cylinder?
What kind is the orange tractor with cab and gold colored undercarriage? ------------- I didn't do it! It was a short, fat, tall, skinny guy that looked like me! |

I think you're referring to photo #16. The tractor with the exhaust coming out the left side of the tractor. It looks to be a Zetor, made in the Czech Republic. Not sure of the model but made in the early 70's. Quite a few FWA Zetors came to NZ. Nobody wanted to be seen owning one but you couldn't kill them with work. They're still on the market here, much improved. |

Thanks for the reply's.
OrangeKiwi, that tractors is a Zetor Super 50. They where 2 Zetor's at this day, The other one is the one you says to Dream.
Paul Roidt, that Massey Harris is een Britisch build Massey. It's a 744D, that means also it's a Diesel. It has a six cilinder Perkins diesel in it.
Dream: Yes this Lanz is a single cilinder. All the Lanz tractors are single cilinder tractors.This one is a 35HP and the block is about 8 or 9 litre's How many cub inch will be that? 550 or so? The biggest Lanz tractors you have are 60 or 65HP, also a single cilinder. The piston in that is the size of a bucket. ------------- ---> Better by Design <--- Johan Straver, Almkerk/ Netherlands Allis-Chalmers 190XT Ser.III #26829XTD |

About the ground: The ground that we have here is one off the best nutritious ground's you can have in the Netherlands. It's a clay ground but not really heavy. Otherwise you can't handle a size of a plow like you guy's do. For a 2 bottom plow you will need at least 40 to 45hp.
To Paul Roidt, this is absolutly not the same ground as you by Bert. That was much more heavy'er ------------- ---> Better by Design <--- Johan Straver, Almkerk/ Netherlands Allis-Chalmers 190XT Ser.III #26829XTD |

Thanks for posting Johan. Sure is neat to see the variety of tractors you have over there. Am really amazed so many US made. Figured there would be more European than US. I know you had a good time. God Bless. ------------- When you find yourself in a hole,PUT DOWN THE SHOVEL!!! |

But you can see that Lanz Bulldog people are a special kind of people. The value of a Lanz is many times higher than any other brand, even the type's that are not rare. A unrestored Lanz must cost at least €5000. And there are many Lanz's that will sold for 15000 til 35000 euro's. In Germany it is even crazier with prices. ------------- ---> Better by Design <--- Johan Straver, Almkerk/ Netherlands Allis-Chalmers 190XT Ser.III #26829XTD |

Here are some more pictures that I would like to post. Starting with a picture of the lunch in our shed that my mom against with the wife from one of the plowers served.
 The tractors are waiting for there drivers.
  On of the nicest tractors to see for me is this Oliver Super 77 diesel.
 Brother and sister Allis, Our WD-45 and D17
  Back to work after a good meal, LOL
 Only the Lanz must be warmed up before work, Heating the hot bulb.
   These where all the photo's. I will upload some more movies from this day on youtube. Also a video from my girlfriend that's operating the XT. Just like an automatic pilot, LOL

Thanks for sharing Johan. I like Oliver tractors too. I'm originally from Waterloo Ia where the John Deere tractor calls home. I've also driven by the factory in Charles City Iowa where it was Hart-Parr first, then Oliver, and finally White before AGCO had it torn down. Your friend with the Oliver can get production details for it with the serial number by contacting the Floyd County Museum in Charles City Iowa.
Hey, what's that Lanz hooked up to in that last picture? ------------- "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian." Henry Ford |

| I'm surprised how many older American built tractors are in Europe. The sad part is that today the tractors from our American companies are pretty much all built in Europe (if not Asia!) |

Great pictures! Nice to see what the fields look like "across the pond". I've got a couple Zetors, a 7745 and a 6340 mudder, they are rugged but I have a lot of problems with rubber parts breaking down and leaking fluids. A cheap way (at the time, late '80's) to get a new tractor.

Very nice Pictures! It looks to have been a most enjoyable event. Were all the tractors diesel and on rubber, or were there some older kerosene engined and steel wheeled machines taking part?

Brian Jasper: The Lanz must be heat it up before you can start it. Because it's a hotbulb tractor. That you see is an LPG bottle (or how do you call that) wich goes with that pipeline to the front of that tractor and at the end of the pipeline you have a flame and that heats the bulb up. I hope that it's clear for you.
PaulRoidt: Yes that's for sure. It was a perfect day. We did it after a periode for about 1 week with dry and sunny weather. Also this soil drains water much faster down than the clay by Bert so it will be rather dry. Now at this moment it's again wet and colder.
Pat the Plumber: We where eating hot soup en bread with warm sausage like a hotdog. That's more the Dutch way for having a lunch. Here in Holland we loves eating soup.
Tricky Dickie. Most tractors where diesels, and also all the tractors did have rubber tires. Only our WD-45 is a gas and I smell that both John-Deere A where running on kerosene. But all the other one's are diesel tractors.
