- A red Massey Ferguson 230 tractor, manufactured in about 1980;
- A Massey Ferguson telehandler;
- A red Massey Ferguson 135 tractor, in pristine condition with original tyres, manufactured around 1980;
- A red Massey Ferguson 342 tractor with a cab, in pristine condition with original tyres;
- A red Porsche diesel tractor, manufactured in about 1970.
DS Craig Wagstaff from Staffordshire Police said: “The investigation is ongoing and we are appealing for anyone in the Yoxall area who saw anything suspicious or anyone who may have information about the theft to come forward and speak to officers.
“The tractors taken are very distinctive, and we hope that by sharing these photos it will remind any members of the public who may have seen them being moved.
