    If I saw you out in that I'd crash in admiration.....to see a FW in full flight on the highway would be priceless George. You can't move it on the lowloader now it's got to be driven everywhere...

    Good Evening George, That is as you say a beast and she gives out a nice tune, I think you will be up in the clouds ⛅️ on a foggy day being that high of the ground, All in all a great walk round the beast I think it’s going to be great when you start ploughing with the beast.Well all the best with her and you take care of yourself and stay safe.🚜🚜🚜⭐️👍👌

    We had the first FW30 , was at smithfield show , boss man liked it and bought , delivered direct from the show , ours was on duals (pain is the butt on road moves), implements for it where a dowdeswell 9f reversible , 8m progressive multi cultivator ,subsoiler tines ,chisel tines and a roller on the back, last was a set of heavy experimental bomford 8m discs . nice to drive all day but a pain in smaller fields , lasted just over 5 years and swapped for 2 7610's

      Who did you work for?I had one worked near me bought new in 79 to Peter Philpot at ilgars near south woodham ferrers in Essex.Had a big set of petit folding discs a david moreton pigtail cultivator and keeble brothers made a subsoiler for it with sweep tines subsoiler legs and a crumbler barrel but only about 3.6 metres wide.Used to love watching it work.

    The Cougar PT270 on the farm in Canada I worked on in 1981 had the same tyres as yours, not duals. About the only difference between yours and a Steiger is the colour. About none of them in the US, Canada or Australia would have got the TPL. Everything on them is heavy, check the thickness of the steel the fuel tank is made of. International 4WD articulated tractors came out of the Steiger factory in Fargo ND. They were International designed though so looked different.

    Hiya George your videos are allways interesting. Lovely for me and my bro to see you. Just a pity we didn't spend more time we have a vast knowledge of tractors living & farming in 70 80.90s
    Steiger was first imported by the morton family in Warwickshire. For there farm having seen one working in Canada. 250 hp it was and later became Dealer's for them and showed them at Royal show. In stoneleigh. In 1976. They no longer farm and sell Agriculture tyre's now. I worked on there farm spreading sludge . And saw two parked up behind there sheds about 9 years ago and took a photo of one of them. I try and put it on your messager
