In this video we went down to the Welland Steam Rally 2022 and tried a bit of tractor pulling!
Trying their hand at the sled were the chieftain battle tank, the freshly built heavy haulage steam engine talisman, the fowler ploughing engine and a thorneycroft fire engine!

Talismans performance was all the more impressive to me as she did it with untreaded tyres. I also appreciated her little “wheelie” on her last pull

They used to build them near me at barnbow in crossgates, Leeds. I live about five miles away ....when the wind was in the right direction you could hear the chieftains being tested. And sometimes you'd see them being transported on these massive low loaders....👍👍

Spent many a happy hour riding on the MK9 Nubian at RAF Cottesmore in the early eighties only fifty yards from the main runway as Tornado's did airfield bumps & circuits it would be great to see fully restored to its former glory & the Chieftain.
