Bill Kemball's 'Power of the Past' event has quickly established itself as one of the most remarkable field demonstrations of vintage agricultural and allied machinery in Britain. The emphasis is firmly on working machines, not on static displays.
The range shown in this recording of the 1998 event is broad, encompassing Gyrotillers, farm tractors and crawlers - all undertaking autumn cultivation - earth-moving equipment, military vehicles, steam engines, stationary engines and heavy horses.
A large steam-driven reciprocating saw and a portable steam engine are among the many high-quality demonstrations.
Scripted by Britain's most experienced farm machinery writer, Brian Bell, and directed by Jonathan Theobald at Country Films.
