Dutch M578
Nice to hear from you Ruud,
We have now finished painting the outside of the M578 and started to replace all the small parts on the outside. Last weekend we took it to its first show only about 4 miles from my friends farm where the restoration work is taking place. I have not had time to register it yet, and the access to the show site was difficult for a low loader due to the bad weather we have had in the UK the last few weeks so we decided to "tow" it to the show behind my friends JCB Fastrac. We used the "A" frame connected to the front. It drove really well most of the time pushing the tractor ! Tomorrow I will try to post some pictures taken by the passenger in the Fastrac.

M578 working for its living !
The M578 was used for some tree clearance work a couple of weeks ago, as you can see in the photo's.
