Jim Clayton wrote on Friday, May 07, 2004 (PDT):Bob, your article is a wonderful overview on the history of ag. tractors here in Australia. As a boy growing up on a farming property in WA's wheatbelt, my father owned two AW6's, a super AWD9 (which I still own), and a 40K Chamberlain. A little further info. on the Acremaster - it was made in Merredin W.A., by Laurie Phillips, before eventually joining the IHC fold. He then went on to form a new company, the aptly named Phoenix Tractors, with a whole new design. Phoenix are still alive today, producing a variety of locally manufactured implements.

graham wrote on Friday, February 17, 2006 (PST): Interesting reading, sometimes it's good to read an article like this to show that good products didn't just come from overseas. I was amazed at the inventivness of those pioneers what a sadness to lose it.
