Heritage Iron magazine

The old steel-wheeled, hand crank tractors have their place in history. If it were not for them, agricultural equipment would not have evolved into the “big iron” it is today. But, that phase of our past is just that….. in the past. We want muscle! We want a smoke belching from the exhaust pipe and blowing in our faces! We want noise and power!
