OK - As you lot seem to be able to get these very quickly, a hardish one
What is it, Who made it and what is special about it?
Simple really.
Oh yea "I even like the colour" (extra point which film was that from - nothing to do with the pics!)

Judging by the wheelbase, its a Massey Fergason 35, but could be a 65. It was registered in 1963 ('A' plate). The contraption on the rear is a Rotovator (scarifier) driven by the PTO. Not sure of the film. But judging by the age and the british film budgets then and the propensity to use old vehicles, so could be about the time of Cloclwork Orange (1971). An apt name really |

Sorry
Wrong tractor - it was built mid 50's
Attachment on the back, not sure will look into it,
Wrong Film
Next guess
Small hint - had a petrol engine for a particlar reason,
I could post another tractor pic, but that might give it away
NOTE - The quote has nothing to do with the tractor, it was from a 80's film.

Orange is normally a colour associated with Howard Rotovator. Not sure why it would only be petrol not diesel though? Unless it was for cold weather work? I presume it's petrol/TVO?

Yea, all there other tractors were diesel. (by a manufacture you have heard of ?) These were made with petrol engines to keep the fumes of the plants (curious) which the plantation owners thought work damage their crop. The shape of it is important?  This is one fo 300 made and is the last remaining one, and it has been rebuilt due to the old rustmites. Any more hints needed? |

Tractor came from Brazil (it was used there), but not (to my knowledge) made there. The manufacture/design is very famous, has a connection to Le Mans. Ok - because people will get stuck down in details, these were design by a famous manufactor, but not made by them due to regulations. So two companies had licensing agreements from this company. Let me know if you want a even bigger hint! |

Fordson/Ferguson TE20? First tractor to have a 3 point linkage. Not sure of the use though, maybe the runner industry, Fordlandia?

Triumph TR engine is the same as that used in the TE20(although slightly detuned).

Correct
And about time.
The only thing I learned that Porsche made Diesel engines - air cooled as well!
Back down to my deep and dark cellar to find another gem.
