Call out to readers of CLASSIC TRACTOR: We need your machinery mishap photos for our next issue!

If your machine (or even better a colleague or neighbour's machine!) has been involved in a mishap, then please share it with us. All we ask is that you DON'T POST IT HERE, as it spoils it for our print readers.

Instead, please e-mail your photos to:

[email protected]

If you are unable to e-mail your pics, ping them over using Messenger.

Our Machinery Mishaps page is a real favourite with our readers. Thank you for making it happen every month.

Might seem a strange question, but doesn't any have a spec sheet/leaflet on a Major Muckout 560 rotary spreader, see picture, or know the production years of this model and its cubic volume?

This John Deere 6330 found a soft spot while topping. Judging by the ruts to the right, the driver had already used up a ‘free go’ on the previous bout.
Two tractors were needed to extract the little Deere.

The August issue of CLASSIC TRACTOR has been landing with subscribers this week and is on general sale in the shops TODAY!

If you are a grass man or woman, then this issue, which contains our annual 'Forage Harvesting' special, is definitely worth a look. Twenty-three of this issue's 148 pages are devoted to proven and traditional forage harvesting machines and the teams that use them.

We catch up with, among others, a repowered, 32,000-hour Ford 7700 that's still a frontline raking tractor, a one-owner 2002 John Deere 6850 self-propelled forage harvester, a Claas Jaguar 695 Mega self-propeller forager that has just returned to work following a full rebuild and a silage-making team who rely exclusively on modern classics. We could go on, but that would spoil it!

Besides all that there is a Fiat Winner F130 that following its recent refurbishment is now one of the finest examples in the UK and Ireland, a ride-and-drive involving one of Deutz-Fahr's former flagships, the DX8.30, and a reminder of what Howard Rotavator Company, once one of Britain's greatest farm machinery manufacturers, was up to in the 1960s.

You can imagine the passer-by’s surprise when, while driving on a road, they encountered this abandoned upside down Merlo telehandler.
When they returned an hour later, it had gone!

This Ford FW-60 got stuck at a working event. To be fair, the 10.2m Vaderstad Rexius that was behind this FW-60 was normally pulled by a 450hp Case IH Quadtrac.

This MF 6465 ran into trouble trying to cultivate an area that had been churned up around a cattle feeder. A few spins later, just to make sure the dual wheels were nicely full of soil, and the tractor was stuck!

Today's the day - the CLASSIC TRACTOR publication day! A bright, shiny new issue of the UK and Ireland's best-selling tractor magazine by far has landed on the shelves today!

What a cracker it is too, especially for those who love reading about the history of classic farm machinery. We've got features on, among other things, the development of the Track Marshall TM200 rubber-track, archive photos taken by a South Cambridgeshire farmer during the 1960s, 70s and 80s, an insight into the design of John Deere's 15-speed Power Shift transmission, the start of a new series on the rise and fall of Howard Rotavator Company, a former MF photographer's memories of the 600 Series tractors he shot for the company in the 1980s, and so much more.

And that's just the archive and historical stuff! There is a predominantly blue fleet profile from Lancashire, complete with the Ford 7810 turbo and New Holland TM140 that are the stars of this issue's front cover, a report from Cheffins' bumper Cambridge Vintage Sale, and a Reader Rebuild on what must surely now be one of the finest David Brown 1490s in existence. And so much more!

If you are struggling to locate a copy in the shops, visit this useful link, type in Classic Tractor and your postcode and it will identify your nearest stockist.
