This page will be updated as work progresses, but it started with this tractor, then not looking too impressive.
To the observant, there is a certain omission in the engine department.
This represents an opportunity that has been anticipated for many years.
It will be something a bit special......

"Tiny", this Caterpillar engined 525bhp Lioness on twin 710 x 38 tyres.
Jack (then aged 13) driving 'Tiny' (aged 2)
The Caterpillar engined 460 bhp Lioness below was built in 1998. It was then the quietest and one of the most powerful tractors that Silsoe had ever tested, measuring only 77 dba at the drivers ear with both doors open travelling at full revs. It recorded 72 dba travelling at full load speed with the doors closed.
Below is the prototype Tigress built here in 1992. It was rebuilt in different guises three times in a brief 630 hour life, and then dismantled. (too expensive to HSE cab test for a one off). However the components have been bought by a collector for him to rebuild.
Version 1 and version 2 (above) were 470 bhp. Version 3 was 525 bhp in 1994.
