• FEATURING: Versatile 1150, the Legend Grows. Versatile was already building a name for itself by 1960, and in 1966, they began the production of 4WD tractors. Introduced in 1981, the 1150 was a big machine for the big operator. Feature tractor owner: Renner Stock Farms - Belleville, IL.

• Going for Gold: Two-Time DELO TRC Grand Champion, Ricky Schilling and his Minneapolis-Moline G1000 Vista. Ricky Schilling of Fayetteville, TX, recently took home the title of Grand Champion of the 2020 Chevron DELO TRC; a respected honor he has now earned not once, but twice. 

• What's New for '71: Now 50 Years Old. While 1971 might seem lie just yesterday to some folks, it was half a century ago. Today, when you walk by some of the John Deere New Generation models at a show, in awe of their sleek appearance, it's hard to imagine these tractors were introduced so long ago.

• Machinery Milestones: The tractor scene from 40, 50, and 60 years ago.

• Folkers Restoration: Stepping Back in Time.
