We've been encouraged to see interesting and impressive displays of horticultural machinery at a number of shows this season. Equipment like this – whether fully restored or in 'working clothes' condition – can represent a great way into the hobby for enthusiasts who perhaps don't have the space, budget or transportation requirements in place to own a full-sized classic tractor. These were part of an excellent display at Biddenden Tractorfest.

In our view there just aren't enough of these distinctively-styled big Fiats seen at tractor shows and rallies at the moment. This 1991 180-90 is owned by Mark Hellier, and was spotted at Tractorfest in Biddenden, Kent, earlier this month. This model was Fiatagri's 90 Series range-topper, producing 180hp from its 8.1-litre, six-cylinder, turbocharged Fiat/Iveco diesel engine.

This superb threshing and baling demonstration was just one of many attractions at the Marston Steam & Vintage Show, held in Leicestershire over the weekend. A pleasantly compact showground included a good number of full-size and miniature steam engines, classic tractors, historic commercials, military vehicles and motorcycles, plus a traditional funfair and much esle besides. A perfect family day out!

The Biddenden Tractorfest was another rip-roaring success – a great family event with the friendliest of atmospheres and plenty to see and do. Obviously, tractors were the big attraction and the event served up its usual fascinating variety of machinery on display. One of so many notable models parading in the busy ring was Mark Hellier's 1989 Ford 7810 Silver Jubilee. IT's always a treat to see one of these commemorative limited editions.

The recent John Baker Memorial Tractor Run included a good variety of interesting machinery. One of the largest seen on the day was this smart MB trac 1300, which is owned by John's grandson, Ronnie. It led the convoy and was fitted with a display board commemorating John. It's hoped that the run will become a regular event.

The fantastic summer weather continued for this year's Tracks Across the Field event, which took place last weekend, near Petersfield, in Hampshire. One of the best-sounding and most powerful classics flexing its muscles was this superb, working-clothes Massey Ferguson 1130, powered by a Perkins 5.8-litre, turbocharged, straight-six engine, producing around 130hp. It was a big, impressive machine when launched in 1964... and still is today!

The 1960s County Super-6 is a model that remains 'affordable' compared to some of the later machines from the Fleet-based conversion specialist's back catalogue. With pristine examples of models like the 1980s 1474 fetching £200,000+ at auction, entry-level Super-6s starting at around £10,000 could represent an opportunity not to be missed. This original-condition machine was seen out and about on the recent John Baker Memorial Tractor Run, in Sussex.

One of the more unusual exhibits at this year's TractorFest was this rare Ferguson/Twose roller. Built during the 1940s and '50s by agricultural engineering specialist, Tiverton-based Twose, the roller units were powered by a small tractor, such as the Ferguson TE-20 seen here. It was driven up onto the roller chassis so that its rear wheels could power the whole unit. The vertical, blue-painted column with the wheel on top you can see on the nearside of this vehicle was used to steer the front roller.
