The vehicle has a yellow sticker inside with the logo “SALERS” on and is equipped with a loader and bale squeeze.

Sergeant Craig Robinson of the Calderdale Valleys Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “Tractors are the lifeblood of rural communities and I would appeal to anyone who saw this tractor being taken or is offered a tractor for sale in a deal that ‘sounds too good to be true’ to get in contact, particularly anyone in the Lancashire area.”

Anyone with information should contact police on 101.
