Anyone going to this?
It’ll be my first time there with a few SIMARS, I understand its quite a large village type show and working event for tractors and horticultural plus other stuff.

Sorry Dave, I should have said “Anyone apart from Dave…” as I knew you’d be there!

As you will have gathered, I got the date wrong in the heading!
Anyway, all loaded up for tomorrow.

I’m a bit of an anorak with loads, Chris. Straps fore and aft, wheels chocked, machines in gear. Anyone would think I’m on a real mission, not going 6 miles down the road! But I’d hate the M saga to happen to me, better safe than sorry.

Selection of horticultural machines at the event today. Sorry, need to downsize photos, will post later.
Meantime, here’s the videos of the A5 working. Seems to run very rich, someone at the event suggested it might be due to the carb having the set up for paraffin, so rather than adjust carb I might try some. However, working produced a few issues, worst of which is the small leak in the fuel tank has now become very big, not good as leaking out on to the spark plug and hot cylinder head.

Sorry I couldn’t make this Peter , I intended bringing something that would compete with a Simar in the noise stakes.

Well I have to say, the operator is a fine looking young fellow. No idea who that could be 😉
