Know nothing about new tractors but grew up with oldies thru 60s/70s. Old Man had grey Fergie 20 until he died, Vanguard motor from memory. We once put a clutch in it , now thats a job. My fave was old Red, Fergie 35, excellent machines. We once bought a Ford 4000, no hydraulics so got cheap from prison farm. 80ks from home, guess who drove it , unregistered, max speed think around 17mph. Took 4 hrs, all rugged up in motorcycle clothes. Turned out just a leaky seal, fixed, topped up oil, trebled its value. One more, Nearby farmer had ancient John Deere, single cylinder, ran it for months powering kilometres of irrigation pipes, never failed. No glow plugs on it, to start from cold still needed inside heated. To do that, take a shotgun cartridge, remove shot, Fit into receptacle provided, hit firing pin, crank motor, away it went. Most dangerous tractors were Fordson with single front wheel. Hope this is interesting to someone.
