Re: Ransomes ITW Shunter
The inboard winch was also available on the MG6 crawler used considerably in timber extraction.

Re: Ransomes 80th Anniversary Tractor World
A number of us that exhibited at Malvern are going to put together a similar display for the end of the anniversary year at the Tractor World Autumn Show to be held at Newbury October 8th & 9th. If you have a ransomes MG machine then do try to bring it along.

Ransomes 80th Anniversary Tractor World
A short video scan of the 34 machines that attended Malvern https://youtu.be/v56AHaXIXbs
We are going to stage a similar event at Newbury October 8th and 9th hopefully those unable to attend Malvern can make it to Newbury as an end to a special year. Let me know if you can come.

Re: Ransomes ITW Shunter
The yellow machine behind it is a Ransomes Sand Skimming Tractor I am in the process of rebuilding. They were used for removing a layer of contaminated sand from the surface of water treatment filter beds.Based on an extended MG6 chassis. I am still collecting missing parts.

Re: Ransomes ITW Shunter
A beautiful replica of the barge tractor built by 20 year old Rhys Boni from Jedburgh, the detail is amazing.

Re: Ransomes ITW Shunter
This one off ITW was sold to London Docks for towing barges. We think the steering wheel was fitted to apply gradual pressure to the steering brakes as a means of reducing the risk of side snatching which could have a very wet ending. http://www.classicmachinery.net/forum/images/userpix/62905_3I95GM...
