OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE

Jack Hatt (23) and Liam Birnie (21) from England

What these loveable tractor ‘supergeeks’ don’t know about tractors, simply isn’t worth knowing!

A general agricultural contractor based in Hertfordshire, if it has a motor or needs fixing - Jack is your man. He is a lifelong tractor nerd - so much so that his friends have called him Tractor Boy since school.

Jack and Liam have been friends for six years, when they met at agricultural college. Liam has family and family friends who work in farming and from his young teens knew that he wanted to be involved in agriculture. He gave up working on farms a year ago to work with the local tractor dealership and put his encyclopaedic knowledge of tractors to better use. Liam still misses being out in the fields a bit - but now gets to drive the latest and most exciting tractors - and is lucky enough to get paid to do it!
