Long Shop Museum - Suffolk Punch Tractor
Image: © Chris Allen Taken: 11 Jun 2006
A direct haulage ploughing traction engine (rather than a cable haulage ploughing engine) built in 1919 by Richard Garrett & Sons Ltd, Leiston and known as 'The Suffolk Punch'. The engine is a 5 NHP compound and it weighs 7 tons. This is the sole survivor of its type and it is fitting that it is on display where it was built.
