The Unimog museum is just for the one vehicle ... they have off road areas and obstacle courses where you can be a passenger or even drive the vehicles, there are exhibits showing the different roles that they undertake and explanations of the various parts of the drive train ... something that landrover could do with the S1-Defender mark with ease !

It was a great day out Ian, many thanks
I do like the Massey, but can you remember these, when i was a nipper growing up in Essex, these were used all the time, i have not seen one since, would love to see one in the flesh again ( this image is one i got from Google ) .............
Awesome seeing and hearing these working Clayton.

Thank you again for that, very interesting reading all of that and in one of the pic's a Doe triple D, so there must be one about somewhere

There aren't many working Doe’s left now
Most got split up and turned into working tractors when the front or rear unit wore out, I can’t remember which now? But one engine wore quicker than the other. I think the last one to be restored was made from a pile of parts collected up through years searching. The centre turntable is the stumbling block! The later 130 doe was one of my favourites, amazing old tractors, with great British engineering 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

Great old tractor, a solution to the problem of grip and power through British engineering
