Time to start preparing for next years show. Date to be confirmed. 

 

The VAK 1 was launched 80 years ago in 1939, It was the first tractor completely designed and built by David Brown. It developed 35 bhp at 2000 rev/min from a 4-cylinder water cooled petrol (gasoline) or petrol/TVO (gasoline/kerosine) engine. There were 4 forward and 1 reverse gears and the specification included independent hand brakes, power lift and 1 3/8 in (35mm) diameter PTO shaft.

The track was adjustable by dished wheel centers (a David Brown patent) and implement depth was controlled by a patented depth (gauge) wheel system. A "streamlined" bonnet and windshield gave the tractor clean and functional lines

 

 Also Implements are often ignored when showing classic tractors but it is the implement that does the work. 

David Brown Tractors purchased the Harrison, McGreggor & Guest Implement manufacturer of Leigh in 1955. 

This old established firm known as Albion, established in November 1872 to produce horse drawn mowing machines and eventually many more implements including ploughs and tractor loaders and tractor cabs.

Not all David Brown Implements were produced by Harrison, McGreggor & Guest as there were other manufacturers producing equipment for the David Brown Tractor Company.
