Stephen Frater comes from the well known Frater family of Northumberland, who have been engaged in farming activities at all levels for generations.

A tractor driver and machine operator since school, via ag college, his lifelong interest in models has led to his range of conversions of modern machines to more closlely replicate the real thing, or to cover model designations not covered by the mainstream manufacturers.

Stephen is also a member of various tractor preservation groups in Northumberland, as well as having and active interest in Classic Fords.

In his spare time modifying tractors is his main occupation, so no time for tree hugging and saving the world!!

However he has been known to be an active Morris Dancer preserving his ancient and rural heritage, seen below doing the sheep drovers dance on Newcastle Quay.

Picures of the main ranges can be found in his own gallery on this site or by clicking here!
