PRACTICAL PULLER • This owner wanted a tractor to pull his trailers and offer a modicum of protection from the weather. As he liked Fordsons the Dexta was the perfect choice.

BUYING GUIDE IH B-250 • Do you want a tractor that’s a similar size to a Massey Ferguson 35/135 but don’t like the colour grey with the red? Then maybe an International B-250 might be the tractor for you.

The English Goat • Another fact file from the latest listings of native rare breeds held on the Rare Breeds Survival Trust’s watch list.

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE • Things aren’t what they used to be, reflects Graham Hampstead, but at least he has the Queen’s Jubilee and the show season to look forward to.

Britains releases • Following a busy 2021 where Britains celebrated their 100-year-anniversary, the company is following up with some exciting models released this spring and into summer. During the spring, Britains have been expanding their Heritage range and hopefully bringing back some of your favourites - along with some splendid sets suitable for younger fans.

THE FINAL COUNTDOWN • The premise of the original article on this subject was to find out whether it was better to purchase a wreck of a tractor, not knowing what needed doing to it, or purchase a better example, although at a higher original cost.
