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 by enthusiasts. The buying guide this time showcases what many regard as the ultimate Fordson Dexta, the top-of-the-range New Performance Super model. We’re also concluding our look at the most popular and iconic tractors from the 1980s as well as starting a new mini-series spotlighting classic crawlers; a fascinating development story of all those with a passion for tracked vehicles.

Other highlights include a participant’s account from the National Vintage Tractor Road Run, a look at the rise and fall of pea viners, another Modern of the Month tractor, an owner’s tale about a venerable Ford 7700 and a ‘Me and my tractor’ story from a vegetable farmer with a passion for the Case IH 1594.

We also conclude the account of the 1978 County/Ford sales tour of New Zealand from ‘our man on the inside’, and have plenty of tractor restoration and DIY content in the workshop section. Finally, of course, readers can expect all the latest news from in and around the hobby, plus literally 100s of bargains to be found in the enormous classified section.
