Wheelhorse 1959

[alan]

I’ve got a photo (sadly not the best image) from 1959 of a Wheelhorse tractor in the UK, it’s thought the machine is a 4hp RJ58 model.

We’ll never know the tractors exact ID but it’s quite possible this very tractor is still in the UK and may be owned by a club member, who knows!

I’ve seen the photo in a few contemporary reports and twice it has been referred to as a ‘novelty’, did they not think small tractors would ever catch on?

And then I have an image sent which is of the same Wheelhorse model in 1960 in France. Apparently sold by a company called Champion.
