A 1904 steam-powered tractor took pride of place at Victoria Square in Cambridge on Sunday when the Waikato Vintage Tractor Club cruised into town on its way to Tamahere, and to National Fieldays.

The John Fowler and Co. tractor is owned by Canterbury sheep farmer Rodney Miles.

Rodney's tractor will lead the parade when the Waikato Vintage Tractor Club rolls through Fieldays this week.

Around 60 tractors, including a police tractor, will parade at 10am and 2pm each day of Fieldays.
