Marshall Magic

 

Marshall Tractors were made my Marshal and Sons from Gainsborough in England. They started by producing steam and gasoline  traction engines then developed into more up to date tractors. The Field Marshall-an iconic series of tractors were first made in the 1940s. Marshal bought Leyland Tractors in 1982  and rebranded them with the Marshall name. They stopped producing tractors in 1992

A first class line up of Marshall tractors was displayed from those in their original  condition to several which had been fully restored with great paintwork often looking better than they would have done when they were new and had just rolled off the production line

The Saunderson Universal Model G Tractor

The Saunderson Universal Model G tractor was made by the Saunderson Tractor and Implement Company.

The company was started by Herbert Percy Saunderson in the 1890s in Elstow. Bedford England. His inspiration came from a trip he made to The Massey and Harris companies in Canada in 1890. By 1900 a 3 wheeled tractor was under production and a 4 wheeled tractor was introduced in 1912. The Model G was introduced in 1916 and was Britain’s best-selling tractor..

This particular model was made in 1918. It has a 2 cylinder petrol-tvo engine producing 25 HP

Saunderson Tractors were quite successful but The Saunderson Company found it very difficult to compete with some of the bigger tractor companies that were in production at the time and they ceased production when they were bought out by the Crossley Brothers organisation.
