Good evening guys
My name is Chris, I come from Suffolk in the east of England. I am an agricultural journalist (I write for tractor magazines) and I also make DVDs about agricultural machinery for sale here in the UK.
I have a particular interest in Eastern European tractors. I have had a Zetor 5748 and 4718 in the past and recently bought this 1975 Zetor 4712. The cabin will likely be unknown to most members - it's a Duncan from Scotland who was the most popular outfit for Zetor Series 7 here in the UK. They had to have these installed to meet UK safety regulations. Some early 7s had a Sekura cabin.
My other tractors are also mostly Eastern European and consist of the following:
1977 Ursus C-335. A rare tractor here, it's the export version of the C-330. I completely restored it 2-3 years ago.
1972 Ursus C-355. A development of the C- 4011 that we will all be familiar with! Again equipped with a Duncan cabin.
1977 Belarus MTZ-82. An ongoing project.
1987 Belarus 250 (T-25A). I have owned this tractor for 17-18 years. It was new on the coast and the salty air rusted it. It's on the list for being restored.
1982 Ford 6610. I've known this tractor since I was 3 years old, it only lasted 3000 hours so it's in good condition.
1981 Lamborghini R1056. I bought this last year. It had been unused in a barn for 20 years. The backend had to be rebuilt. I also did some cosmetic work such as new decals. It's pretty rusty, obviously.
1941 International Farmall A. My oldest tractor, hand crank start. It runs on gasoline and / or kerosene. Have fun!
Sincerely from the other side of the English Channel,
Chris
