No less than three variations of the Series 10 tractors were produced during those ten years, plus a range of compact tractors that fitted into the number series and shared similar styling to the larger machines. These programmes show well how the design evolved with the original Q cab followed by the updated Super Q version, plus the cheaper AP and LP cab options, as well as some of the more unusual models and variations such as the 4110, 7910 and 4610T. The development of the 7810 model is also followed as it was somewhat reluctantly put inot production in 1987 and then quickly became the best selling tractor of the whole range.
Presented by Stephen Richmond Part One also features the restoration story of an early 6610 while Part Two looks at the restoration od Stephen's own 7810 III.
