Diesel too dear? Give the vintage tractor a run

By | | comments |

Tractors at ten paces: Winston Chivell's vintage Farmall Cub fronts up to his son's diesel-run 1986 Case International, at their property near Birchip, Victoria. (Photo, circa 2004.)

Given the current price of diesel, this petrol-powered Cub could give today's turbo tank a run for its money!
