All over the UK, classic tractors are still putting in a shift – on smallholdings, farms, and as part of contracting fleets. Their lower purchase price, reliability, and the fact that they are easier to maintain and repair makes them an attractive pr

The prices are based on tractors sold at sales, on the Internet, privately and in some overseas markets too. Naturally, prices change as time progresses and it’s not always an upward trend, but you will get a good indication of what’s going on with t

Tractor World, on 24-25 February, saw an excellent selection of modellers attend, with an extended area in the Severn Hall playing host to those with an eye for detail, says Peter Love. Chris Tipping was judged to be the winner of the Tractor Model D

Welcome to the April issue of T&M. The dust has finally settled after Tractor World at the Three Counties Showground on 24-25 February, and what a show it was! It’s been a fixture on my calendar for longer than I care to remember, but I can honestly

International Harvester launched the World Wide Series in 1970, but with just the 454 and 574 introduced at the outset, it would be several years before it could truly be classed as a complete range. Models would come and go, and the numbering system

Applying granular fertiliser is a simple task, but to ensure accuracy and make the job more efficient, the implements used throughout the decades have become more and more sophisticated. Some types were, like the square plough, a fad that didn’t last

The restoration of this Massey Ferguson 35 is nearly complete, and in this issue you can see that I am at the stage where the tractor is largely built up. I was now ready to start the engine up and drive the tractor outside for the first time. To do

Sandwiched between the iconic 390T and rangetopping 399, the Massey Ferguson 398 is often overlooked when it comes to the company’s 300 Series. With so little to choose between it and its smaller sibling, often cited as the ultimate ‘pocket rocket’,

Despite horrendous rain leading up to the event, Tractor World, at the Three Counties Showground in Worcestershire, surpassed all expectations, writes Peter Love. Soft ground caused some issues for those camping and in the car parking areas, but thes

I write this in the middle of March and the pace of auctions has not stopped, with prices holding up well, particularly for original and well restored tractors. The Cheffins Vintage Collective on 19-20 April has 200 tractors entered, and if you are i

Due to the wet, albeit mild weather conditions, winter has seemed to drag on for ages, and this has been a disincentive to get out and work on projects that are outside. However, when better weather and enthusiasm have coincided, I have been able to

I encountered the tractor that is the focus of this article 14 years ago, but it’s fascinating past still manages to interest me all these years later. As Ford 7600s in off-farm condition go, this 1980 machine was still in pretty good all-round order

When I first acquired this finishing mower it had recently had new drive belts and replacement blades fitted, but when the machine was run up it was quite apparent that the bearings of the blade spindles were worn out, as the noise from them was exce
