    I wonder if anyone can help with some history? This 1505 came from a dealer in Wales , he had lost the log book and knew very little of the tractor. He thought it might have been new to Strutt and Parker Farms , who I think don't exist as an entity any more to ask? I believe it only had another...

    Red tractor stakeholder survey on governance
