About the Magazine

Old Tractor was first published in September 2003. With the combined enthusiasm of tractor experts from around the world the magazine has gone from strength to strength, growing to 68 pages each month.

Old Tractors brief is to look at the historical aspect of tractor development and to inform and entertain through in-depth articles, nostalgic photographs and fascinating interviews with people at the sharp end of machinery development. You can expect a fresh approach to the subject with unrivalled historical content, meticulous research and contributions from the leading specialists in the field as we delve into our rich heritage of agricultural engineering.

We concentrate on the golden age of the tractor from the early pioneer machines launched at the beginning of the last century through to the vintage models of the immediate post-war period. However, I don't neglect the modern classics of more recent years because tractor development, as we all know, is an ongoing story. We look at the new generation of tractors that appeared in the 1950s and '60s, and occasionally stray as far as the 1980s to bring an article up to date, but that's probably as far as we go because this is an old tractor magazine after all!

Historical features and archive pictures are the main focus of this magazine and I always need your help in uncovering new material. It you have a story to tell or have interesting (or even amusing?) photographs to loan, then let us know! Keep us up to date with your latest 'finds' - we might even include a 'Found in the Nettles' section. It's not all serious stuff and we balance informed articles with light-hearted comment. Old Tractor is becoming an invaluable reference work - so subscribe now because you don't want to miss what we've got planned for future issues!

Old Tractor's unrivalled content, meticulous research and contributions makes it the magazine of choice for everyone from the collector to enthusiastic restorers of all ages.
