Linus Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Hello All, I've always been interested in farm vehicles and implements and now I'm finally able to start building my collection of modern 1/32 models. However, not having a farming background,I'd like to find out more about the tractors I intend to collect. Can anyone out there recommend a tractor magazine equivalent of 'What Car' that provides specifications, road (field?) tests, comparisons etc. ? Most of the magazines I've found seem to concentrate more on classic tractors than new ones. Thanks for any assistance ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deerepower Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Hi Linus, welcome to the forum, I would say try Profi International mate, they test just about everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDH Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Welcome Linus. Regarding magazines for modern equipment you really only have those aimed at the farming community. Farmers Weekly is probably the best known but its a bit to general for my taste, not enough on machinery. The magazine I buy for the current and new machinery is Profi. See http://www.profi.com/EN_en I find it very informative and deatiled on modern day equipment. Some of the article eminate from Germany where the magazine was started but its all translated in to perfect English. My local WH Smiths sells the magazine or you can get by subscription.

Gav836 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Welcome to the madhouse Forum Linus. I'd go with Profi as well, if you like to see tractors really tested and detailed info thats the one. I subscribe to it myself as you can get some good offers when you do so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
