Bartlett Contractors Ltd

In the last 55 years, I have carried out all types of agricultural contracting and land drainage schemes with some very good and loyal staff. Most schemes were designed, undertaken and final plans drawn up by myself. I have kept the very first new tractor that my father bought from Braddick and Son in Gillingham when we were on the farm at Hinton St Mary called Castleman’s Farm. She is a 1954 International B450 diesel tractor named Nelly. She has clocked over 26,000 Hours and still runs on the original crank shaft. She has been fitted with 4 sets of pistons and liners since new. I have driven Nelly from new and it is in my will that Nelly must never leave the family or be sold.
