I can't seem to find much out about the 5T tractor. Did the British use it and if so did it pull some of their lighter 18lb field guns?

Thank you Helen,That's made for a shorter post.The 5 tonne model was supplied to US force's in an armoured model (armour for the engine not the crew,as people are cheap tractors are not) Some were used / borrowed by british units and are only mentioned as tractors not armoured tractors in records(someone is bound to try and argue they weren't,records are a guide not a given)Everyone used this smaller size tractor In an unarmoured form,Not just the Holt but many other manufacturers.The truth is they all look almost identical (only minor detail changes and Names stamped on the radiators.So I've sculpted a generic un armoured version as well.There's a good example at the Lincon Museum. I've made several trips there (normally after partizan )over the last three years.
I'm now toying with Idea of desiel ammo train.(I like to see someone argue I've got that wrong as I use to drive one lol)

Thanks Helen. I have found similar information which seems to deal mostly with the 15T tractor. I can't find much specifically on the 5T and it's use by the British.

Thanks for the pics.

Found this link on the landships forum of a film which at the end features a 5 ton pulling a limber and field gun. I think it's a French 75mm?

Early December is most likely,as Simon has a fair few moulds to make so release dates are being pushed off course, a little.Plus I've taken a second look at few,and decided to rework.them.The Autocar,for one .Just to make them alittle more gamer friendly.The more parts a gaming model has the more likely it is to suffer from knocks,and drops.That happen most games.

Will the 5T Holt Tractor come with a driver + 1 crew?
