I do. really enjoy it.I got started with I twhen I helped clean up a friends estate. the family gave me his entire 10 year collection. After reading them all the next winter,they were donated(as they were read) to the local hospitals,doctors offices,nurseing homes.....
 
I really like it I remember years ago they had tractor cards from green magazine bee Nebraska and I?d fill out and an envelope and either send cash or a money order to get the cards I think I was in about 3rd or 4th grade
 
take a handful to the hospital, doctors,dentist,eye doctor each time you go and leave them in the waiting room. Better than the common Ladies Home Journal,People,Sports Illustrated you normally find in those places.
 
I have for years. Look forward to it every month. I have written several articles but it has been awhile. Maybe I might try my hand at it some more this winter. Tom
 
I've subscribed for years. Wrote articles about some things I'd worked on. At the time, Green Magazine paid for articles, while Red Power didn't.
 
I have superscribed to it for almost 30 years and look forward to it in the mailbox every month. It's a must for anybody who likes old Deeres.
 
i loved the tractor cards i think goodyear tires also had them.
i started getting it when it was still a bi-monthly magazine. i have good friend who i believe has every issuse
 
It comes to my mailbox. Like some of the others, I wrote a few things for them, but not in the past 10 years or so. It is a good publication, although I miss JR Hobbs. I think a lot of the Deere collecting world does.
 
I?ve thought about sending some pictures and
maybe send a story in about rebuilding my 4020 but
I?ve never done it
 
I have taken it for 20 years or so. When it comes, everything else grinds to a halt til I have read most of it.
 
Red Power may not pay for articles but new authors show up in each new issue while all the old familiar authors still write for every issue. 32 years in publication and since the Miesners have taken over the magazine has grown and prospered. With magazines failing and going out of print, or completely going out of existance, not too many magazines are doing as well as Red Power.
 
I dropped the subscription a year after JR left. Then I went on eBay and purchased back issues with articles and books he wrote. Just my opinion Green Magazine started and ended with him.
 
I used to get a lot of tractor magazines, I have narrowed it down to Green Magazine, Heritage Iron, and Antique Power. I also get Little Green for four special little young men.

Also agree it is a good magazine but not as good as a few years ago when J.R. Hobbs was there. Not as many for sale ads (by end users) seem to be there anymore either. Most everything was overpriced so no big deal.
 
I do. It's the only tractor magazine I get. It does seem like there is a lot of advertising though and not enough articles sometimes.
 
I used to get it. I liked the technical information. But as time went on I started seeing re-incarnated articles from years before that told me stuff I already knew. I figured it to be about the time their access to the JD archives was shut off. Rich wrote in the magazine about his reasons for not co-operating with JD, and I agreed with them. I do think though that his content suffered because of it.
 
For the OP I do think you will enjoy it. My post comes across kind of negative after re-reading it. I enjoyed it for over 10 years before I gave up. I ran out of time to read it also led to me cancelling.
