Moving on to the Best 30 tractors at the BSOT in 2008, here are some photos below of the ones that I'm still lacking data for. If anyone can help me out with the serial number or owner details of any of these tractors I would very much appreciate it.

Many thanks

David

Eric;

No. 7 is Rick Hawksworth's 30 taken before the show and No 6 is not Veerkamp but I think it is the late Traynham tractor.

Are you guys sure photo no.7 is Rick Hawksworth's (#186😎? I'm pretty sure this one below is his - it has mesh in front of the radiator, whereas the one in pic 7 doesn't, and the writing on the tank and style of exhaust are also different.

All the best
