Used to work there as a driver, I drove that sea tractor in 2010, it used to have a JD combine engine in, it's hydraulic driven, no brakes, the drive lever is on the side where the drivers hip is and he pushes forward with his leg and holds it forward and back, and throttle is like a boat, the stone keeps it from wondering back into the water when it's off, at high tides the stone sits at the back wheel, driving it is fun but when there's 3000 people, kids, dogs running and swimming around you have to be so careful, the fun part is driving it at night, in the mist at around high tide now that's scary, the pilchard inn I've pulled some pints in there too, that's a great pub and was a smugglers pub years ago, the rumor was a regular smuggler was shot in the door way, the hotel is themed to 1930s, many celebrities have stayed, and on the island there is a heli port, its a very special place and was the best place to work, go if you get the chance, but you can't get in the hotel unless you stay of course
Wow thanks for the info really interesting
Been there , done the tractor and going again tomorrow, great place.❤
Just came back from there, again, today, wish I could afford a day at the hotel.
Well that was different. I loved the smiles on the children's faces as they rode across the water. You and your wife are such good parents. You can be so proud of yourselves.

Thank you for taking us along.
Great stuff, have a great family holiday .
bigbury and bantham bring back a few memories from when i used to go there very year! bantham is the best place for crabbing and rock pooling.

Welcome to my part of the country
I have been there and swam to the island Richard and it was great
I have never been on that . And I live so close
Give it a go!
Hi Richard & family, Welcome to my part of the Country, this is where my missus (The Boss) meets with a friend & takes our jack Russell for a good run along the sand. Hope you have a great time, you`ve had a grim year what with wet spring & scorching summer, You need some serious chill out time, hope grass is growing fast while you`re on holiday.
Thanks Eric . What a lovely part of the world to live in
I love your vids
Hi nice video good
Teletubbies brought me here....😂😂😂

That thing might go down faster than the Titanic did
You should do another few farm simulator videos with jack and harry
Looks great rich, have you ever been to culdy island in Wales, there is a boat to it, but if the tides out a vehicle like that one came and picked you up off the boat.

Does any1 else have a problems with Richards videos slightly pausing half way through?
It's not you Chris. I have some sort of problem with the videos and I'm not sure what's causing it. Maybe editing software?
No worries Richard thought it might of been my phone! Love those pasties......!!🤤
Very frustrating
Which kind of fuel use this car...
Diesel
@@thefunkyfarmer thanks a lot for reply....

Sea salt must wear on it
B yes it does and it's never washed off, and the bearings go for a pastime on it
Do Muslims visit the area? Teagards...
