Bulldozer - 22nd August 2017

A Track Marshall bulldozer at Stevie Wilson's near Whitecairns. BJ was an East Suffolk registration - the air conditioning unit on the roof was probably not required in the north-east of Scotland. This machine probably dates from the 1960s.

 

Track Marshall was a brand of earthmoving equipment produced by John Fowler & Co. of Leeds. They were active during WWII building tanks. Later, they produced a range of crawler tractors, based on the wheeled tractor Field Marshall brand. In 1956 the first Track Marshall bulldozer model was introduced and later the Challenger 3 followed by the Challenger 33. The company was in business for some 50 years, eventually closing in 1990 after new machines replaced older technology.
