One farmer owner! Collector set to rake in up to £2m after putting his collection of 230 vintage tractors up for auction

Paul Rackham has spent 25 years assembling the collection of tractors
79-year-old farmer's haul spans from 1916 through to the 1970s
It includes the only surviving example of a Holt 75 dating back to WWI
Sale being held at pensioner's farm in Norfolk later this month


If you really get stuck, this is the unit to pull you out (or apart). It might take a bit for it to get to you, but the job will be a simple one for it.

Yeah, that is a cool tractor. The winch appears to be driven directly off the tracks? I guess you can't winch anything with the tracks in motion though.

I'd think the winch would operate independently of the track. There's no fairlead on it (possibly missing??) so a straight line pull is in order.
