They recall that after World War I, some Fordsons were brought into Slovenia, which were among the most common tractors globally at the time.

The piece highlights the growing interest in preserving old agricultural machinery, noting that Slovenia now has the highest number of tractors per capita in the world. It mentions the efforts of organizations like the Association of Agricultural Technology in Slovenia (DKTS) and enthusiasts who maintain and celebrate these historic machines, including collections and museums. One such enthusiast, Janez Lončar, owns a legendary 1954 Eicher tractor and participates in various events with it.
