I have only driven a Grey Furgie once; it belonged to Buzzy. I was driving it round a farm that is now a load of small busines units one of the tenants asked if we could tow a bus from one unit to another, so part of my 1st drive of a Fergie included towing a bus!

And said Fergie now lives here! It's towed the Commer on more than one occasion too.

It's just an alternative form of tracked vehicle. It's really strange watching it clank along. Aparently it was designed for trench digging for drainage pipes.

I don't know anything about tractors, but I must admit they can make a nice picture!







As do their predecessors!
