There was a request for information on Winget tractors a few months ago. I have just found some information in Power Farming, June 1966, for anyone who is interested.The tractor was designed and developed by Winget (A popular dumper truck and concrete mixer manufacturer in the UK). It was launched in May 1966 and is powered by a Lister single cylinder 8HP 552cc aircooled diesel engine.
It has a direct inline mechanical transmission based on dumper truck transmission with 3 forward and 1 reverse gear giving 1.26, 3.1, and 7mph (3mph reverse), manually operated Diff lock with auto release, independent 9" drum brakes. Rear PTO conventional 1 3/8" 6 spline 565 rpm.
Three models were produced, Series 1 with hand operated 3pt linkage, Series 2 live hydraulic lift 4 position position control - 3pt linkage, and Series 3 with front end loader. All had drawbar and a towing eye at the front.
It was constructed using a high proportion of dumper truck components.
A range of equipment was also made - Semi digger ploughs, cultivators, hoes, disc harrow, rotary cultivator, rotary mower, double knife mower, transport box, rear pallet transporter trailers and sprayers.
I am not sure how long they were manufactured but i have seen an early rounded tin work type and a more modern square tin work type.
