What's in the issue

This month’s new A4-format, issue is packed with features about the most popular vintage and classic tractors owned enthusiasts everywhere. The buying guide this time spotlights the desirable, still affordable and very usable Massey Ferguson 65, which remains a popular classic neatly 70 years after its launch. We’ve also got a full report from sunny Cornwall on this year’s brilliant, 500-tractor National Vintage Tractor Road Run, as well as our thoughts on the show season’s traditional opener, the Somerset Vintage & Classic Tractor Show. The ‘Tractors of the 1980s’ series continues and we profile a champion ploughman and his beloved Ford 5030. Other highlights include a new feature we’ve called Modern of the month, in which we spotlight a post-2000 tractor that we feel has real classic potential, starting with the John Deere 6620. There’s also a fascinating look at the development classic balers, more from the 1970s County tour of New Zealand plus lots of tractor restoration and DIY content in the workshop section, all the latest news and literally 100s of bargains to be found in the enormous classified section.
