Remember when you were a boy and cruising around on your bike in the Summer. One of your favorite spots was to go to the local gravel yard and dream about driving all of those neat old rigs. Imagine being behind the wheel of that Ford 1950 dump truck or any of those other vintage Ford or Mack dump trucks. Or even better, running one of the bucket loaders .

Farmers are quietly competitive and there is one agricultural competition that is anything but calm – the tractor pulling contest. Farmers began hitching their field tractors to weighted sleds and roared down a track to see who could pull it the farthest. At first, the competitors pulled sleds that were loaded with a given weight. But, what if you use giant pumpkins as depicted with this old Farmall tractor at a local country fair. Maybe the National Tractor Pullers Association will sanction this event?

It's almost Christmas and time to harvest the Christmas trees. As you know a Christmas tree is an evergreen or artificial tree decorated, as with lights and ornaments during the Christmas season. Christmas Trees are grown on tree farms. Christmas tree farming involves growing pine, spruce and fir trees specifically for use as Christmas trees. A wide variety of pine and fir species are grown as Christmas trees, although a handful of varieties stand out in popularity. In the United States, Douglas-fir, Scots Pine and Fraser Fir all sell well. One of the more popular methods is the pick-your-own tree farm or sold commercially. Christmas trees are being loaded into a 41 Ford Rack Body truck and a little while ago the old NAA 8N Ford tractor was hard at work. Wait a minute is that Santa!!!

Truck and tractor pulling is a competition using tractors or large trucks to pull a heavy sled. Usually the sled offers progressively greater resistance as it is pulled. It can be a great spectacle, in no small part due to the fact that the pulling vehicle produces a great deal of noise and smoke, and tends to kick up dirt. Also, the tractors pulling don't actually travel very far (a typical "full pull" is 300 feet One of the highlights at country fair is tractor pulling, and this time this old John Deer tractor is pulling giant pumpkins. Today, that record for giant pumpkins is 1689 pounds so you can see why this vintage tractor is struggling.

The ground is now frozen and it's due to snow any day but that's ok for timber logging in the North country. The Old Dodge Power Wagon is still hard at work bringing the loggers into the forest and supplies for the logging trucks and skidders. The 35 Ford Rack body is still hard at work and the 39 Chevy Rack body has a load of pine timber for the mill. Times are tough so you gotta haul as much wood as possible when the mill will accept wood.

The roosters just started to crow and this group of of vintage farm equipment is ready for another busy day. The Chevy trucks have been here over fifty years and the Oliver model 70 since 1937. The Allis-Chambers Model U became famous as the first tractor available with low-pressure pneumatic rubber tires. When we needed a new tractor for the corn fields, the Case DC was the logical choice because it was a row crop tractor and designed to pull a three-line plough. It had a belt pulley's, PTO, motor lift system for the implements, and quick dodge" steering for working uneven rows. 11" x 14" Mat: $19.99 Original: $250.00 |

September, we all wait anxiously for the Rochester Fair. Ten days
of Carnival rides, exhibits of huge pumpkins, farm animals, lots of good
food, and the Saturday night Demo derby. You need good equipment
to run a country fair and this 2N is ready for the job. Even
though, her gray paint is a little chipped, and the hydraulics leak a
little, she is ready for this year's fair. |
