As already mentioned in reply to Shane's Clipper post these guys are also currently in Tassie touring the State. They primarily have fun touring and raising money for various community / State & Australian Charities.
Here's their blog. & Tasmanian Itinerary
They were at Westbury when I captured these shots and many more but I will have another and better opportunity when they eventually arrive in Gunns Plains for an overnight stay.
When working out the Itinerary their day 1 is the 7th of April

tell them they have their tyres on back to front as well

if you come across someone without a smile,.................. give them one of your's....... and watch it grow!

Cool looking tractors and thanks for the info Cascade. Looks like they will be arriving here 18th and leaving 19th, staying a few doors away from my place. Should be a good chance to get some shots of the critters

Come on Dave...... Its all about speed and not leaving as much rubber on the road...... But you new that didn't you Dave.. 
It's fairly slow going for them as well. They average around 35 - 40 klm per hr.

yes mate.....been around heavy machinery all my life, operated some of the biggest and baddest earth gouging tonka toys known to mankind....... yep they reverse the tyres to even up the wear, as we did on road going cranes and sidebooms.......when driven long distances on bitumen or any hard surface the leading edge wears away and the trailing edge flips up.....so reversing the tyre will even up the wear

If I ever decide to doa trip around Australia in a tractor doing around 35 km/h... I will know what to do with my tyres now
