Tractor & Farming Heritage Magazine  |  June 2015: The Selectamatic Story
It’s the time of year when tractors and farming always seem to be in the
news. As the latest issue of Tractor & Farming Heritage goes to press, we
are hearing about Don the sheepdog who thought he would help his master while he was out of the cab by taking control of his Gator and driving it across a motorway. There’s also the Devon man who promised
to host a naked tractor wash over the May Bank Holiday to raise funds for the local village hall. However, the item that most struck me was the one which proclaimed the ‘Five must haves for your tractor cab’s smart office’, all of which are ‘apps’ that can be downloaded onto your smartphone. The office on the go will make running the business much more efficient and it will only be a short time before you’ll wonder how you ever managed without them, I’m sure. Spare a thought then for the farmers
in the past who took delivery of tractors like the one shown on this page brand new – it’s a quantum leap in terms of both comfort and technology in just a few decades. On the subject of comparison, I’m pleased that this issue we start a new series of articles that matches up similar machines from the same era – this time Allis-Chalmers B vs Farmall A. Tell us your thoughts or experiences on this or any other farming heritagerelated
subject; contact us direct through our new email at tfh.ed@kelsey.
