WEDDING
TRANSPORT WITH
A DIFFERENCE!
When tractor-mad James Dring
thought about transporting himself
and his new bride Danielle to their
wedding reception – naturally,
it just had to be a tractor!
James didn’t have to
go far to find a suitable
machine:
He works as a tractor
engineer for Lincolnshirebased farm machinery
specialists, The Doubleday
Group, who kindly provided
a gleaming green ribbonbedecked John Deere tractor
for the 35 minute journey
from church to the reception
at the Dower House Hotel,
Woodhall Spa, and kindly
loaned a second tractor
to form a guard of honour
outside the reception
venue.
The tractors were not the
only unusual transport James had also arranged for
his bride, Danielle Newman,
who loves camper vans, to

be taken to the church in her
very own dream machine, a
Volkswagen camper van.

James said: “It was
a fantastic day and my
employers loaning us two
tractors was the icing on the
cake.”
Danielle, a deputy nursery
manager from Branston near
Lincoln, said: “It just had to
be a tractor!”

Handler P40.7 Hybrid has

allowing it to operate with
a diesel electro-hydraulic
hybrid system. It doesn’t
require the installation of a
urea system, so can run in
full electric mode for indoor
operations.
The 4 tonne lift capacity, 7
metre reach Hybrid boasts
30% less fuel consumption
compared to a conventional
Merlo machine, reduced
noise emissions and a newly
designed cab for operator
comfort.
