This year, they shattered a record by gathering 110 of these iconic machines, proving their enduring legacy. One farmer even recreated the wild 1956 tradition of riding a tractor into the Royal Hotel for a beer—this time, with descendants and fellow tractor owners joining in. It’s a story of grit, ingenuity, and community spirit, immortalized in a memorial cairn that reads: “by God and by Fergie, we beat the flood.” Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
