In this episode of Farm Machines & In-Betweens, Michael catches up with Griffith Show Society board member and vintage tractor enthusiast Simon D'Aquino to talk all things Griffith Show, vintage tractor pulls, and preserving the machinery that helped build Australian agriculture.

Simon explains how the Griffith Tractor Pull tests horsepower, torque, and driver skill while bringing historic machinery back into the spotlight. The pair discuss the future of the Griffith Show, the importance of attracting younger generations, and what it will take to grow the event in years to come.

They also take a closer look at Simon's rare 1955 McCormick AOS-6 Orchard Special, explore the differences between early three-point linkage systems, and share stories about the collection of classic tractors still working around the family farm today.

Whether you're a vintage machinery enthusiast, a Griffith local, or simply appreciate the history behind Australian farming, this episode is packed with stories, nostalgia, and a passion for keeping agricultural heritage alive.
