EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Foden 6-ton Tractor, registration number HX 2197, affectionately known as "The Dorset Wanderer." Built in 1930 by Edwin Foden, Sons and Co of Elworth Works, Sandbach, this heavy agricultural machine is a testament to the engineering prowess of its time. Powered by a 4 Nhp compound steam engine, this 6-ton tractor boasts an impressive presence, exuding a sense of power and reliability. The Dorset Wanderer, with its registration number 13832, was captured in 1956, a time when steam-powered machinery was gradually being replaced by more modern internal combustion engines. The tractor's intricate details, from its steam-release valve to its large, sturdy wheels, are a sight to behold. Despite its age, The Dorset Wanderer remains an iconic piece of agricultural machinery, a reminder of a bygone era when steam engines ruled the fields. Its timeless design and robust construction continue to inspire awe and admiration, making it a cherished addition to any collection of vintage machinery or transport memorabilia.
