๐ SPECIAL CUSTOMER TRACTOR OF THE WEEK ๐
This one couldn't wait until Friday!
Over the Bank Holiday weekend, two Nuffield Universal M4 petrol/TVO tractors have been taking part in The Great West Country Tractor Drive โ an epic journey from Wrotham in Kent to Cheddar Gorge, raising money for The Community Cupboard.
The team set off on 27th August and have spent the last few days covering hundreds of miles on their tractors โ through sunshine, rain and everything else the British weather decided to throw at them! ๐ง๏ธ๐
And these two old Nuffields certainly earned their keep.
Yesterday alone, they covered 97 miles on the journey home.
Not bad going for tractors that were built more than 60 years ago!
It wasn't completely trouble-free either. One of these photographs shows a little bit of running repair taking place in a hotel garage in Devizes โ all part of the adventure! ๐ง
The video of them starting up in the pouring rain probably sums up the determination rather nicely. They certainly weren't going to let a bit of weather stop them.
After hundreds of miles, we're sure the tractors โ and their drivers โ were more than ready for the well-earned rest you can see in the photographs!
But most importantly, the whole journey has been undertaken to raise money for The Community Cupboard, which supports local people and families when they need help.
๐ A huge well done to everyone involved. What a fantastic achievement.
If you've enjoyed following their adventure, or simply think two old Nuffields travelling all the way from Kent to Cheddar Gorge and back deserves a few pounds, there is still time to support their fundraiser:

Every donation, however small, helps towards the reason they did all those miles in the first place.
And from our point of view, we absolutely love seeing these old tractors doing what they were built to do โ getting out there and working rather than simply sitting on a show field.
97 miles in one day on a Nuffield M4 โ who fancies it? ๐๐
