🎥 A short video from yesterday’s tractor run! 🚜

What a day it was! Great weather, a fantastic turnout, plenty of stunning tractors, and all for a great cause.

From immaculate restorations to working classics, there was something for everyone. And of course, it wouldn’t be a proper tractor gathering without spotting a few Little Grey Fergies along the way.

Sit back and enjoy some highlights from the day.

👍 If you attended, let us know your favourite tractor from the event.

Harry Ferguson History

🔧 A look back at Harry Ferguson’s legacy 🔧

While enjoying yesterdays event, it was impossible not to reflect on the incredible impact that Harry Ferguson had on farming around the world.

His revolutionary three-point linkage system transformed agricultural machinery and remains a cornerstone of tractor design to this day. From the famous Little Grey Fergie to the many Ferguson and Massey Ferguson models that followed, his influence is still seen across farms everywhere.

We’ve put together a few historical photos celebrating the man, the machines, and the engineering legacy that continues to inspire tractor enthusiasts today.

📸 Which Ferguson model holds the most memories for you?

🚜 The convoy rolls on! 🚜

With the sun shining and the engines humming, today’s tractor run was a real spectacle.

It was fantastic to see such a variety of machinery taking part, from well-known favourites to a few rare tractors that you certainly don’t see every day. The route was lined with plenty of smiles and waves as the convoy made its way through the countryside.

Events like these are a great reminder of the strong community spirit within the farming and vintage tractor world, all coming together to support a great cause.

Here are some of our favourite photos from the run itself.

🚜 What a fantastic day! 🚜

We were delighted to attend today’s tractor run and charity event. The weather couldn’t have been better, and it was great to see such a strong turnout in support of a very worthwhile cause.

Before the run got underway, there was a superb display of tractors on show. From beautifully restored classics to working machines that still earn their keep, there was plenty to admire.

A special mention has to go to the iconic Little Grey Fergie. No matter how many years pass, it’s always a pleasure to see these legendary tractors out and about.

Here are a few photos from the static display before the convoy set off.

📸 Take a look and see if you can spot a familiar tractor!

Feel free to like share and rage the owners.

🔧 Thinking about restoring a tractor?

A restoration project always starts better when you have a clear idea of what you need, what condition the tractor is in, and where you’ll source the parts. In this video, we’re sharing 5 simple things to check before buying parts, especially if you’re working on a vintage or classic machine. 🚜

If you’ve ever restored a tractor before, what would you add to the list?

💧 Hydraulic issues are easy to underestimate, until they start affecting how your tractor performs.

If you notice leaks, reduced lifting power, slower response, or anything that feels off, it may be worth checking your hydraulic parts sooner rather than later. Staying aware of the signs can help reduce bigger repair issues and keep your tractor working more efficiently. 🚜

Do you regularly keep an eye on hydraulic performance?

Some tractors stand out for their power. Others stand out for the story behind them. 🚜

The Hesston 980 is one of those machines; a practical, capable tractor with an unexpected design connection to Pininfarina, the same Italian name associated with Ferrari styling. It’s the kind of detail that makes tractor history even more interesting: a hardworking farm machine with a small touch of Italian design heritage.

A good reminder that not every memorable tractor is the biggest or most famous. Sometimes, it’s the ones with an unusual backstory that stay with people.

Had you heard of the Hesston 980 before this? 👇

In this week’s Interesting Iron, Ryan Roossinck dives into the Hesston 980DT. This tractor blended Fiat engineering, Pininfarina styling, and solid farm capability, but bad timing kept this underrated 1980s tractor from catching on.
