Hi,
Is a really good idea,
however the logistics are a night mare,
getting farmers to lending there machines to someone who hasn't ever driven them is a night mare!!!
if anyone is in the reading facility on the 17th march the university are doing a 48 hour ploughing marathen with two tractors and im doing a 4 hour shift so if they wanted could come and have a go but having a meet up would be massivly unpractical but an awsome idea.
Best bet would be to go and find your local farmer and arsk him for a drive, most would be happy to help im sure if you arsked nicely!!!
its a big thing in the farming press these days to try and the the general public back on board.

love driving machinery, been playing in our bobcat 322 for the last few weeks! only a 1.5 ton 360 but still good fun, just wish it had a full glass cab :lol: had my first and second experiance of throwing a track today which was interesting! still quickly learnt how to put it back on which was handy as it came off again an hour later! also got a licence to drive any size foreward loading dumper :D
