Any of you folks in tractor clubs have secret handshakes and code words????
I had a ball today.......
Little German lesson first...... Most of the old tractors here are diesel, so have to be preheated before starting.
Pre heat in this case in German is vorgluh (sounds like forglue). Grammar is different here so... To start the tractor, you have to vorgluh. If someone is actually doing it and you ask what they are doing, they say "ich gluhvor" ( I glue for).
I was with a guy that belongs to a tractor club and we went to the local tractor dealer/farm&fleet (lack of better description). He ran into some more tractor club buddies and they were doing their little tractor club greeting.
If you are an elite member of said tractor club (EMTC) and happen to meet another elite member of said tractor club, you look each other dead in the eye and one says "glue" and the other says "for"
Gotta do this 3 times in a row, kinda like ...
EMTC 1 "Glue"
EMTC 2 "For"
EMTC 1 "Glue"
EMTC 2 "For"
EMTC 1 "Glue"
EMTC 2 "For"
Then they have a conversation until another EMTC comes along and they get to do it again.....
That was my entertainment to last me the rest of the month. And, I won't be joining that tractor club anytime in this lifetime....

The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
