Surprised to hear you've sold the Somerset but it sounds like it's gone to a good home.  It should make a great first classic, I was really impressed with it when I drove it - the 1489 engine makes it so much more usable than a standard one.

Tractor looks fantastic, I'm mildly jealous of that one!

I bumped into the seller of the tractor over the weekend, he apologised for the delay and said it should be delivered some point this week!

Very jealous of the Nuffield. I drove a friend's one recently and it was great fun, I'd seriously love a vintage tractor. Just not quite sure what I'd do with it!

Cheers Josh. You should buy one! I’ve got no use for one either. Just got offered it and thought why not, it’s something a bit different! I have since seen that you can buy PTO driven saw benches which might be worth getting, for cutting up firewood (and possibly losing a limb or two in the process!)

If you have a wood burning stove a log splitter might be a useful too.
