Trusty Tractor

Trusty Tractor


Power for the Trusty Tractor was supplied by a 5 horsepower JAP engine via a centrifugal clutch. The transmission was a combination of chain drive and reduction gearboxes.

'Trusty' tractors with 7 horsepower engines were also to be found. The extra power allowed the use of heavier reversible single furrow ploughs. They were also fitted with multi-speed gearboxes, including the luxury of reverse drive.

Normally tools such as skim feet, scuffle feet, harrows etc, were attached to the tool bar. The depth of cultivation was controlled by two adjustable small wheels on this toolbar (one of which is visible immediately behind the main wheel). The toolbar could be removed and replaced by a single furrow plough. The long handles extending to the rear of the tractor both allowed the driver to walk clear of the tools and to give him extra leverage to lift the tools out of the ground. Between the handles were two levers used to disengage the drive to one or other of the main wheels. When some of the lighter tools were in use, a box containing stone was attached to the handles to counterbalance the weight of the engine. If a young child was to be entertained he/she would replace the stone in the box.

Tomatoes

Ripening Green Tomatoes

When temperatures begin to drop, tomatoes stop ripening so it's time to take action! Fruits can be brought inside or whole plants can be hung up to encourage the fruits to continue to ripen.

In this short video we show you how to ripen your green tomatoes both on and off the vine to ensure you don't waste any of your harvest at the end of the season.
