Although we have decided to name this particular section of the Steam Extravaganza 'Timber Tractors', in truth it perhaps should have been called 'Forestry Machinery'. We say this for the simple reason that you will find exhibited in this element of the South Cerney show not only the Timber Tractor, but also other equipment, trailers and tools associated with them.

At the 2011 show, we produced a fine static display of these vehicles, featuring vehicles made by Unipower, AEC, Foden and of course Latil amongst others. 2012 will see a further expansion of this area of the event and we are delighted to be able to welcome Robert Bullen to the section and will not only be running the display on the ground but twisting various arms of potential exhibitors before hand in order to create a diverse and unique display.

 It is also hoped to demonstrate various exhibits in and around the Timber Arena, so you our visitor will get a full idea of exactly what they were used for and of course the skills employed in using them. It will be a fascinating display and in keeping with all that you will find within the Steam section be accompanied by humour, banter and the odd wind up or two. Don't miss it!
