The John Deere 6220 Loader was taken from the charity’s Trow Farm in November 2017.
The vehicle was then professionally cloned into a 6320 model to try and disguise its identity.
The Donkey Sanctuary relies on its tractors to transport the donkeys’ feed and bedding and the charity is currently in negotiation with its insurance company to buy back the tractor, for which it has already been compensated for.
