Let's talk tractors with Peter Scott. Peter is the NZ Manager for Massey Ferguson and he has recently completed a journey of more than 2000km on a tractor to raise money for Sir Ed Hillary's Antarctic hut.

The journey may be over but Scott is still raising money to restore the historic hut. He caught up with Jamie Mackay today to talk about his trek and what the next step is to achieve his goal.
