I may have room for a passenger or two, bring your own seat/chair.

The price was not unreasonable, considering rarity of machine. I do know another club member has bought it. So it has gone to a good home.

Still waiting for my passes for club stand. Currently planning to arrive Tuesday all depends on what happens with passes. I was told they were posted on 15th August!!!!

According to ‘British Tractors 7 Power Cultivators’ by J B Ashby, the Gunsmith weighs 800lb approx, it also gives a BMB Plowmate on rubber tyres as weighing 738lb (335Kgs).

Interesting to see the difference in shades of green on the 56 and 35.

There will not be room for another table in the marquee, I am taking my Ransomes lawn edger, so would not need another. There will be room for a couple of small tools on the tables we have.
