Sandstone has a large collection of vintage tractors and sometimes they need a run. They are ideal to use for tasks where our modern machines are just too large for the job. We have put together three short video clips of our vintage parade, the first clip shows our 1949 Massey Harris 55 followed by a 1960 John Deere 730, and finally a large unit for its day, a 1961 Massey Ferguson 95 Super. Enjoy the show!
