Dropped a winch off at the engineers today and met a very special lady, the understated yet strong and capable type. She works mainly moving chicken sheds around but has a sideline in tractor/combine harvester recovery. I wasn't meant to be in the workshop really so I stole a quick couple of pics and said au revoir. 

Meet Wendy

I have no idea, but I'd think some members here will know.

 

I didn't get to ask many questions and only just persuaded them about taking a pic.

 

If anyone knows anything about Wendy though, do tell.

I have some connections with the farm that Wendy currently resides on and have made enquiries.

 

She's a 1955 AEC Militant, six-wheel drive former military with a 40 tonne winch.

 

Some more of her recovering a combine here...


When a combine gets this stuck, how are you going to get it out...

Probably the best thing to do with big old machines like that, keep them gently working so they don't seize up. Same as us humans!
There's an old Scammell sat in a field on the side of the M5, near Bridgewater. It's been there for at least 20 years, ever since I've been driving up and down past there. Each year it's more and more overgrown with vegetation and rusted away. A real shame.
