Anyone notice the last issue of Antique Power magazine was mighty THIN! I noticed it as soon as I got it out of the mail box and thought boy this must be a small edition, but upon opening it discovered that it had 80 plus pages as usual. The paper used is so thin that I had to literally pull some of my pages apart! Not the same old Antique Power that I'm been accustomed to for so many years. I guess it's just a sign of the times. To bad.

Subscribed to AP for years and thought it was a pretty good magazine. One day I counted the # of pages of advertisements (including all kinds including auctions, classifieds, etc) and found that about 70% of the magazine was some form of advertising. Now I realize that thr magazine people make their money off that and probably lose or break even on the subscriptions and sales, however I just found there was simply too much advertising. I prefer Yesterday's Tractors to be quite honest and I send them a little money every year.

with a printed magazines you get them 6-12 times a year, with YT mag, we get new info every day, I gladly give my printed magazine money here than to a big corporation that is only there to make money. If you really want a good print magazine, look at Farm Show magazine, it is FULL of info and has very few ads.

I"ve got it right here in front of me and a comparison between the newest Vol. 19, Issue 2 (the newest) and Vol. 19, Issue 1 shows they are pretty much identical in thickness. Volume 18, Issue 2, also here on my desk, IS a little thicker, but not enough to matter to me. I hadn"t noticed any difference in my reading and viewing pleasure between any of the issues. It"s still a great magazine. Tim

While we're on the subject, guys, what other magazines about antique tractors and farm equipment do you subscribe to? I take Antique Power, and recently subscribed to Belt Pulley. Are there any other good ones out there?

I get Antique Power, The Belt Pulley, Old Allis
News, Cockshutt Quarterly, Prairie Gold Rush, MM
Corresponder and Oliver Heritage. All are good,
but I think the Belt Pulley has some interesting
general machinery articles. I don't own any Oliver
tractors but Oliver Heritage has to be the best
"brand" magazine. Very well produced with letters
to the editor that are ANSWERED, tractor features,
machinery or implement features, an ask the Oliver
mechanic section, Oliver dealer visit, and a
crawler or dozer story. Also covers stuff like
classifieds, show reports, collectibles, auction
results, etc., just a great magazine.

I subscribe to both Antique Power and Red Power. Red Pwr is exclusively IH and Cub Cadet stuff so if thats not your cup of tea i wouldnt suggest it...but if you like all makes then its a pretty good mag.

I get Antique Power and Oliver Heritage. I read them both cover to cover, but if I had to choose one I'd go with Oliver Heritage. I just bought a copy of another oliver tractor publication that was in the rack at TSC, I think its HPCOA... now thats a thin magazine...
