1930 · Mar 30, 2019

Im a car/truck guy but I feel alot of interest in these tractors now, how can I find about where I can attend local shows?

Ive attended alot of pulls and while I VERY much like this Ive always been more of an original appreciation type guy.....in other words unmodified bare stock just the way it came from the factory.

Thanks

There isn't really much of a "tractor scene" the same way there is with cars. Tractors and coffee isn't really a thing most places, for instance. There are several groups dedicated to antiques. You'd have to find if there's one local to you by googling. Near me there's Rough and Tumble, which is one of the largest collections of older tractors available to the public, everything from old steam traction engines to 50s-60s era machines.

The shows for tractors are usually industry events where the manufactures bring out the current crop of toys for us all to drool over.

The big daddy of them all is the Louisville farm show. Every state will have a few shows throughout the year. Big ones in PA are the PA Farm show, which is more about animal husbandry now. Keystone farm show, which is where all the equipment companies went to get away from the tourists at the farm show, and Ag Progress days.
