County Super 6 based on the Fordson Super Major with a Ford 590E engine. Drive for the front wheels is a prop shaft on either side from the bull pinion shafts, advantage is that you have four wheel braking and dif lock on all four wheels. Turning circle is a bit limited though.
One of my favourite tractors to drive, with a Rest-o-Ride seat you felt you were on top of the world looking down that long bonnet between those big wheels. Gets a bit damp though on a rainy day with no cab and the water thrown up by those wheels.
Second tractor is a County Super 4, exactly the same drive system but with the standard Ford Super Major four cylinder engine.
Many, many years ago, I was working on the hydraulics of a customers Super 6, in a shed on Snetterton air field in Norfolk, The air field had closed and the perimeter track was turned into a race track that hosted many famous race meetings back in the 1960's. It was also used as a test track for the Lotus race team. It was just before a big Easter race day and the farmer let out the other sheds to the visiting race teams so I was surrounded by Ferrari, Lotus and Alfa-Romeo cars, engines and race teams preparing for the racing. Of course, we walked round and visited with them, they were fascinated by the Super 6 and spent a long time watching us work, as we did with them as they worked on the cars.
