My opinion is that a magazine dealing especially with these newer tractors is a good idea. Antique tractor collecting really got started when a large number of older farmers, nostalgic for the tractors of their youth, started restoring the unstyled tractors that they used as a young kid or perhaps first started farming with. These tractors were mostly pre wwII. As time progressed, the fondly remembered tractor of one's youth became progressively newer and newer.
The tractors of the fifties, especially numbered Deeres were initially considered "too new". When the TWO CYLINDER CLUB had their first EXPO in 1987 the newest two cylinder was 27 years old. Today, in 2001 that translates to 1973! Other brands followed the same path. F series Farmalls were joined by lettered, and then numbered IHCs.
I've seen 1206s at shows and they draw attention.
So do 190xts, 1800s, 930s, 6000commanders, 1100s and M670s. Myself, I am most nostalgic for a 1967 John Deere 3020, because it is the tractor I most fonly remember. The old tractors are great too, and there are any number of publications dedicated to them. The tractors I want to read about the most (John Deere 3020 and 4020) have not been written about in magazines I have read, nor have the tractors which competed with them, (f706,f806 IHCs, 1800 &1900 Olivers, G1000 MM, AC190xt). The tractors covered by "TODAYS TRACTORS" board are not of as much interest to me, but 1960-79 is. Where can I get a subscription and how much will it cost?

Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
