Be REALLLL careful with those levers when entering or exiting transport position. Does look really handy.
 
A lot of Atlas machines were sold for loading sugar beet from the field into trucks so reducing the dirt tare you got when using a front end loader back in the 1960 and 1970s. A number were not true 360 degree loaders as they worked on rams and a rack and pinion slew system that allowed only about 320 degrees slew.

This one, the Webb 360 is a true 360 degree loader and will rotate all day at about 15 rpm. It could trench up to 10' to 12' with the extra boom extensions offered and had a variety of buckets for ditching trenching and weed clearance from waterways as well as the beet and coal grabs.

Parts of the boom and buckets were made under contract by Whitlocks who made the "Dinkum Digger" KC had in the pictures a few days ago.
 
Hi Majorman, I remember Webbs demonstrating one of these diggers on a Ford 5000 at the National Drainage Demonstration in Warwickshire about 1958. About 10 years ago I found a MF65 tractor with a Webb digger on it outside some farm buildings on the Lincolnshire wolds but could not trace the owner. Are you coming to the Newark Tractor Show next weekend as I am featuring IH, Case and David Brown and I have just loaded up the first of my 9 exhibits. MJ
 
Good Morning
Keep them coming , I like to look at all the different tractors that you post
. A lot of them I never heard of but still like to look .
Never farmed but lived on a farm , amazing how they have improved over the
years from hardly nothing to monsters electronic controlled .
