of the new David Brown tractor was given by the maker, David Brown Tractors, Ltd., Huddersfield, last week, in the vicinity of Rickmansworth. Many leading agricultural experts were present. The machine gave evidence that its performance is well up to the standard to which it has been designed. It is simple to handle and the driver's comfort has been studied. The drawbar is accessible and has a good range
of adjustment, which has considerable bearing on the wheel adhesion, an important matter in view of the low weight of the machine, which is under 25 cwt. There was plenty of power at the drawbar to handle the Ransomes ploughs used, whether two-furrow or three-furrow, in breaking up grassland. The tractor was also shown on rowcrop work, The range of speeds is good, three of them being suitable for hauling agricultural implements of varying load at appropriate speeds and the high gear for haulage work or running light.
On rubber tyres the price may be as low as £210 and on steel wheels the machine can be obtained for 2189.
The special attention given to easy servicing by the removal of units complete from the chassis should make a strong appeal not only here but in the export markets, where servicing facilities might be indifferent.
