Working With Machines DVD

Disc 1 - Working With Tractors: This DVD opens up new ground as the Rallyscene team visit three of Great Britain's premier events: The Great Dorset Steam Fair The Festival Of The Plough (Epworth Doncaster) and The British National Ploughing Championships (Goole). These three events cover many tractors working as they would have done in years gone by and the DVD is enhanced with a superb commentary by Malcolm Fleet. Disc 2 - Vintage Farm Machinery: Horse drawn to horse power we look back at the humble machinery that has been a familiar sight around farms for many... years. From horse drawn hay wagons to ploughing equipment and muck spreaders; farmers have kept these old machines in barns and fields for many years. Now they are restoring them and bringing them out for the public to see just how things were done in grandfather's day. The farm tractor was made in many different types and sizes from the small market gardeners' to huge ploughing machines. We take a look here at some of the most interesting vintage farm machinery in the world. Disc 3 - Let's Look At Diggers: Rob has always dreamt of driving a JCB digger. One night he hears a voice calling to him... the next thing he knows he's flying in a helicopter to the JCB factory. He is greeted by Gil one of the company's demonstration drivers who gives him a tour around the massive manufacturing plant and shows him how the famous bright yellow JCBs are made. Rob also sees JCBs in action in all weather conditions around the world as well as the amazing Dancing Diggers and the supercharged JCB GT which can achieve speeds of more than 100 miles per hour! He learns that the company was founded fifty years ago by Joseph Cyril Bamford (hence the name JCB) who one day had a dream to build a revolutionary new earthmover that would become a world beater... and that dream came true just like Rob's.
