Tractor & Machinery

Tractor & Machinery (T&M) is a 132-page publication on sale every four weeks. Its focus is tractors from the 1960s to the 1990s, reflecting an era of tremendous change in machinery – from the days when agriculture was a major employer, through to the time when new technology transformed farming forever. T&M features the popular makes and models, but also covers some of the more unusual tractors and implements. Each issue has exclusive owners’ stories, historical profiles and restorations, plus the latest news and auction results. For those with hands-on knowledge, there’s a dedicated workshop section with essential practical advice and tips. T&M was launched in 1994 and has gone from strength to strength, with fans the world over. Tractor & Machinery is published 13 times a year
