10 Vintage Diesel Tractors

Farmland Rigs

Nothing is more pleasing than finding an old tractor that can still run, and looks great while doing so. Most vintage tractors are eventually tossed aside and left to rust alone in unkempt fields, however, some people take extreme care to allow their machines to thrive. Below are ten restored or well-kept tractors that the diesel community holds dear to our heart.

Daron Rittenauer’s ‘87 Panther 1000 is almost a last-of-the-breed tractor. Though built under the ownership of Case IH, it was still the same tractor offered by Steiger in its last year of corporate independence. The Panther and the Lion shared a platform this year, the only difference being the Cummins or Cat engines (your choice) were turned up from 335 to 375 hp. Yeah, it’s safe to say Daron’s is turned up that much.
