When we moved to Glyn-Coch in 2000, we brought with us a rare David Brown 2d tractor. This proved popular with many visitors (especially the younger, and older ones) to our craft shop. One of our suppliers, whose family used to run the Gower Farm Museum. mentioned that they were trying to find a home for some of their exhibits. All the Gower exhibits had originally been owned and used by one family, and they formed a wonderful snapshot of farming in a particular place and time. We hope that by keeping this collection together we can show something of the individuality of traditional farms.

If you would like information on our machinery or on our machinery display, please do not hesitate to Contact Us.

As part of the machinery collection we have:

A wooden hay sweep

A seed Barrow

Three sheep shearing machines

A recently repaired, David Brown 2d Tractor

A BMB Tractor

 

Hay Sweep

One visitor told us that these hay sweeps have curved handles so that when you get to the end of a row, you lift the handles, which makes the sweep flip over, the handles acting to flip it over completely.

Seed Barrow

This seed barrow has been reported to have been used (not our one) by a lot of our visitors, so it's not as old as you think.

These shearing machines are on loan from the old Gower Farm Museum.

David Brown 2D

Huw's pride and joy, the David Brown 2D can be seen most dry days outside by the rest of the machinery.

BMB Tractor

The BMB Tractor is very heavy, often used for mowing, and in the case of our BMB, for ploughing.

We have more machinery at Glyn-Coch than is listed above including an Allen Scythe and a pair of horse drawn ploughs.
