Bonus point if two or more tractors are working in the same field -
Bonus point for 10-second hyperlapse - forgot
2 bonus points if one tractor’s colour mirrors a daring firefighter’s hue and another reflects the Cheeky Chappie’s audience’s book colour choice - Hopefully 1 of these

One point for the tractor
Regarding colour - it does require two different correctly coloured tractors for the bonus so, even if you have found the right colour we can’t add a bonus point when the contest ends

- Bonus point for flying a flag.

4 points - after we hunted down the wiki link
If you (and any other defaulters!) could put the URL of the wiki article in your post on a separate line next time we ask for one we would appreciate it - like this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rochester_Castle
which, when posted normally brings up the link and the beginning of the wiki article:
TIA
Andrew @BadManners please may we share these photos on our social networks? 
Why is it that I only ever see two tractors in a field when I’m in traffic and can’t stop 
Oops, sorry I had the page up as well and ready to copy the link, guess I was a little too eager. Thank you.

13, A vessel on water with two or more masts.
Bonus point for sails up.
Bonus point for towing a dinghy
Dunno if it’s actually towing the dinghy, but it is tied to the boat. ( as the boat is moored ) So, initially one point claimed ( but will leave a bonus point at the discretion of the committee)

Ian, we have examined your image and discussed it at length and, regretfully, do not consider that it meets the requirements of the subject.
points if a train is passing underneath the road bridge (our itakics)
We consider that passing underneath implies that the train be in motion, here are our reasons for the image being disallowed
We consider that the running track for the railway are the four lines with overhead gantries at the top of the picture that pass under the bridge and continue to the image bottom.
The locomotive under the bridge appears to be parked on a section of track, a siding that ends underneath the bridge. It is apparently an engineering vehicle used for track maintenance.
The exposure of 1/60 second gives all the moving vehicles an element of motion blur. None is apparent with your locomotive. We cannot determine whether anyone is at the controls in the cab.
As you have obviously gone to a fair amount of effort to take your picture we are, unusually, offering two options - you can take the picture again with a train in motion - passing underneath - or accept just the one point for a railway track passing under a road bridge.
