That D6 looks like it could cross the English channel.

A 17 furrow plough, no less. I guess that's what the D9s were for

I think a lot will be crossing the English Channel and some the North Atlantic but not under their own steam so to speak !

Hi Neil, You are correct. Herewith some pictures of the D9 pulling the 17 furrow plough which Robert made himself.
 
 
 

In case you think that is impressive (which it is), here is a picture taken in 1936 of Ransomes' Diesel Fifty pulling 21 furrows ! (Two six furrow hexatracs, one five furrow quintrac and one four furrow multitrac. The tractor was sold to a UK farmer who emigrated to Canada taking the Diesel Fifty with him and it returned to the UK several years ago where it is now in preservation.

That is impressive, especially since the 50 is considerably less hp than the D9 but I guess it also depends on the conditions. Is the "trac" nomenclature a branding thing from Ransomes or somebody? That 17 furrow is a beauty that's for sure. Are there videos of it in action?

A lot of iron for sure. As mentioned before, Mr. Wilson came to the states and did a lot of purchasing; that gentleman knew where a LOT of stuff was, and even though I never got to meet him in person, he was quite the polite man, and people gladly pointed him in the right direction for something to buy for his collection.
Sad that he passed, as he would be considered an ambassador for CAT collectors.
It would be neat to see some of the items come back to the USA. JM
