14.01.2022 See A Rare Piece Of New Holland History! FOLLOW THIS LINK https://classictractorstv.com/videos/new-holland-baler/ to watch the full video on the Classic Tractor... Fever Website! Paul Lano's father started a New Holland dealership over 60 years ago. Now Paul and his brother run the business continuing to sell New Holland Equipment. Paul also collects classic New Holland equipment. One of the prizes in his collection is his 1965 Model 1281 Self Propelled baler. Just 430 of these were built and used on big farms in the Rocky Mountain states. We take a tour of Paul's collection and learn the details on this low production baler. #newholland #classictractor #tractor #classictractorfever #classictractorstv #aumannvintagepower #aumannauctions #tractorauction #agriculture #farming #farmlife #farm #farmer #farmlife #farmmachinery #tractorvideo #tractorrebuild #tractorrepair #enginerepair #enginerebuild #cultivating #fieldwork #tractors

13.01.2022 Great to drop by and chat to members of the Hobart Vintage Machinery Society at their new site in Sharkpoint Road Penna recently to discuss future plans for dev...elopment, which will include a meeting room, amenities and a workshop. The Society was established in 1985, and now has hundreds of members, and growing. Its members are dedicated to the restoration of farm equipment and engines dating back to the early 1900's with heritage items linked to early settlement.

13.01.2022 From our families to yours. Stay safe and we look forward to returning in 2021.

06.01.2022 Yesterday saw the cutting of the oat crop using an old reaper binder at Lou's property in readiness for building the haystack for the upcoming Expo in March. Th...e usual members turned up (about 14) and after several mechanical set backs, the task was finished around lunch time. It would be nice to see a few of the members we only see at big events participating and their next chance will come shortly after Christmas with the gathering in of the crop - this will also be at short notice.

02.01.2022 A good gathering of members at our Penna site today saw the grass mowed ready for baling. Most members attending were given the opportunity to have a drive of t...he tractors and cut some grass and I think they all enjoyed themselves. The tractors were all Fergy's ranging from 1950's 60's and 70's. See more
