Field Marshall tractor successfully winches a very stuck 35+ tons of low loader out of the mud at Hollowell 2007 despite the idea being laughed at. A Ruston Traction Engine had previously failed to achieve the same goal.

Driver of the Field Marshall said of the sceptics "They all know better, don't they?!"

  • A good winch, a good set of anchors and the grunting barking beast we know as the Field Marshall tractor.

    Remember my late father being called upon to bring all the above, to pull a JCB that had got stuck on a riverbank whilst clearing debris from a bridge span during floods.

    Happy memories father, a fine knowledgeable man and his Field Marshall working in unison.

    And torque can be geared up infinitely. A moped engine could winch alow loader given the right gearing (and enough time, as said gearing would be extremely low!!)

  • Horse power is low but the single cylinder gives bags of torque.

  • Great to see a Marshall really working, we used one years ago for pulling up dead Elm trees. Since the values shot up, I've not seen many gets their boots muddy!

  • You couldn't expect a traction engine pulling using its wheels on mud to match an anchored tractor using a winch for pulling power! Even if the Ruston could get a grip, it still wouldn't equal a tractor & winch for pulling power.

  • Its mud tho, Ruston's would just spin because theirs TOO MUCH power. Whereas the single cylinder marshalls engine has a bit more grip and enough power not to spin.

  • here you go boy racers this is what real power looks like! :)

  • v.impressive, not for nothing are marshalls sought after and expensive

  • figure's ruston's suck.....

    (LOL)

    hey guis it's a joke!!!

  • nice one.!! our old 3A (with hesford winch) will pull its heart out, nice to see "working exhibit"
