Hi, I am a 40yo dad and tinkerer.  Love making something out of nothing.  Still love 4wding just post kids I needed a project to scratch the same itch but smaller.

Then a couple years ago I fell off in the YouTube rabbit hole seeing videos of guys like @redzz02 having so much fun offroading these modified mowers. WHAT?? Anyway I decided to go shopping.  Grin

Found two I'm guessing 1960s NZ-built Power Ponys for sale. Spent last year doing up the first one, looking forward to building # 2 for the 2024 buildoff.💪

Seems like a really positive community, great to be around passionate people having fun. Glad to be here.👍

First off Welcome to ATLTF!
Danceparty

New Zealand Power Pony... that was new to me.  Googled it, and it and the couple I saw looks like the love child of a Wheel Horse and Massey Ferguson.  Nice, does yours have the peerless 2300 in it?  Looks to be a good platform just by what I saw in pix.

Feel free to start up topics for your tractors!

As for the build-off,   Here are the RULES, and here is the Entry info.
