Ariel Owners Motorcycle Club

Again, just like last year, the smaller version of what once was the 'Steam Festival' in Almere , Netherlands.
Now organized by the B.O.T. 'Behoud Oude Technieken' (saving old techniques)
Only a few bikes, but ofcourse a Ariel

Short clip of a running Lanz Bulldog

I love those big single-cylinder tractors. Some of those Lanz machines were seven litres and would run on a mix of old engine oil and kerosene !

In Britain we had the Field Marshall - similar configuration but a bit smaller.

We forget how powerful these steam & early diesel tractors were - have a look at this Case 150 with a 44 furrow plough !

Wonderfull machine that Case.
maybe a trifle to much on the fall out

Field Marshall, this one below was part of the Marshallplan and as such came on the farm of my mum in Steenbergen, late forties.
Dad at the controls..
