SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL
People own smaller tractors for many reasons. They are easier to transport to shows and less intimidating to drive, and all else being equal often work out cheaper to buy and restore. For Andy Burroughs, it was down to a change of job and lack of space.
Deere devotees
The son of a tractor driver, he started work aged 18 on a farm devoted to John Deere, and his first works tractor was a 3640. By the late Eighties, he was driving a six-cylinder 4055, one of the biggest machines working in Somerset at the time. Meanwhile, he was getting interested in older tractors, starting with an E27N followed by a Marshall VF, then a BTD-6 International, and working on a farm, storage wasn’t a problem.
