There are some things in life that will never change and sadly tractor drivers are top of the list

I’m guilty your honour,a rebel tractor driver.Mind you in 1957,in Lincolnshire,with a Fergie and single axle trailer(and no licence) you were lucky to see anybody else on the road apart from the milk wagon and half - p***** farmers going and coming back from market.
Dave,I like that Leyland Constructor,that will have earned it’s keep,any more pics of it?

Hi Chris,
Ive driven tractors,helped farmers years ago,also spread lime with them,but nowadays its a different ball game,they are doing lorry work.
I can get some more. Steve “Fryske” is hoping to get some for his website,hope he will post some on here.
Cheers Dave.

Bit of a hybrid,this Scania seen on the A44 Kington bypass. Looks like a roll on body,also possibly downrated,by the looks of the single wheel axle at the back.

That looks like a stretched unit. The tag axle units have single wheels.

Also a bigger cab than most Scania six wheelers.
