Attention all CLASSIC TRACTOR readers - if you have carried out a useful mod/s to your tractor, we would love to hear from you. We are looking for a few tractor-related modifications for our 'Mod of the month' slot in the printed magazine.

But PLEASE don't post them here!!! If you've carried out a useful mod that has made operating your tractor easier or improved its performance, please e-mail us a few details and photos, or send us a message via Facebook.

The e-mail address is: [email protected]

Here are a few of the great mods we've featured in past issues.

Look what's landed in the shops today! It's only a brand new issue of CLASSIC TRACTOR!

So what has the UK and Ireland's best-selling tractor magazine got in store for you this month? The answer is: lots of great classics!

Where better to start than with our front cover stars, two of the finest David Brown 1200 and 1400 Series tractors on the planet. These machines, a 1212 and a 1412, owned by Dylan Davies, were previous Show Champions at the Tractor World show at Malvern, no mean feat given the high level of competition at this major event. In this issue, we find out what went into their award-winning restorations.

Then we move on to Phil Gerrard and his huge collection of classic grassland equipment. Phil's decision to retire from collecting means his collection, which contains a remarkable 21 trailed forage harvesters and 15 conventional balers, all different models, is going under the hammer in North Wales on 4 October. A full preview of the sale is in this issue.

Another farm machinery sale that's previewed is that of the Waspe family from Suffolk, whose modern classic equipment is being dispersed by Clarke & Simpson on 1 October. This is actually more of a fleet profile than a sale preview, as we take a look back at the family's past machinery ownership over several decades.

Changing tack, if you are interested in high-horsepower tractors of the North American variety, then this issue serves up a real treat in the form of a rare Big Bud HN-360.

We could go on, but that would be spoiling the surprise! You can find out for yourself what's in the latest issue of CLASSIC TRACTOR by picking up a copy from your local stockist. If you are having trouble finding a retailer that stocks the magazine, click on the following link and enter 'Classic Tractor'. It will then identify your nearest stockist/s.

This New Holland went from trimming this hedge to becoming part of it after it lost its footing on a slurry-covered slope and slid into the undergrowth. Well that’s the operator’s explanation and he’s sticking to it!

As mishaps go, this one is quite tame. Only the front wheel of this classic Ford 7710 became submerged when it got stuck, but that’s fine, as the more we can see of this lovely original example of the model, the better!

Look what's landed in the shops today! It's only the latest issue of CLASSIC TRACTOR. The September cover-dated issue is here already. As usual, it's fully loaded with some spectacular classics and inspiring stories.

Where do we start? How about with this issue's cover star, Lincolnshire farmer and collector Paul Holmes, and his fleet of 23 mostly late-model John Deere tractors. Although purchased with one eye on investment, many of these machines have specific work tasks on their owner's arable farm.

Still on the subject of cover tractors, check out the twin pipes on Gavin Stainthorpe's 1969 Same Leone 70 - the original hot-rod! In his Reader Rebuild on this tractor, David Laley not only takes a look at the refurbishment work that's been done in the past year, but also explains the background to this V4-engined model and how it fitted into the Same range here in the UK.

Great news if you like nostalgia and history. Ted Everett, who worked as a photographer for MF for over 60 years, recalls his involvement in MF 1200 and 1250 photo shoots of the 1970s and early 80s, while Terry Richardson continues his series on the rise and fall of Howard Rotavator Company, focusing on this occasion on the 'boom' period of 1970-1975.

Our editor Rory Day has been out to see a 1980s Major Muck-Out manure spreader with a difference. This one has been converted into a caravan, complete with all the bells and whistles! Now that is something very different!

You get all of this and so much more in the latest 148-page issue of CLASSIC TRACTOR, the UK and Ireland's best-selling tractor magazine by a mile.

20 years ago when England were wining the Ashes 🏏 ….. The year is 2005 and a brand spanking New New Holland TM140 can be seen rolling off the line at Basildon, this being in the days when the factory was still manufacturing engines. The TM Series only had two more years to go before production ceased.
