A brief history of the Vehicle
No.17 is our County tractor and was bought in 2012 from an online auction site and was named in jest after Kevin who was the winning bidder on behalf of Joby. It arrived looking a bit worse for wear but in working order painted in blue and was changed into company colours (maroon). Kevin is used to move vehicles around on wet grounds, because of it’s light and low gearing it’s able to shunt things around without making much damage to the ground.
Joby had wanted one ever since he was a teenager and his family had borrowed one from friend and circus owner Gerry Cottle. Kevin is currently off the road awaiting restoration.
