The owner of "Tithe Farm" has put together a comprehensive collection of agricultural items, from large threshing machines right down to the smallest of hand tools, that document the farming industry over the last century in Lincolnshire and beyond.

A general view of the workshop barn, I found it fascinating and took many more
photographs than shown here.
Many thanks to the owners of "Tithe Farm" for allowing me to
photograph the house and collection.

The little wonder trimmer pulls 464 watts which means it needs approximately 3 times that much for starting. I would recommend the 2000 watt or 2 1000 watt units with a parallel cable.
