The current record is 745, set in Germany in 2008 and according to the Guinness guidelines, Classic Tractors MUST be 30yrs or older to participate.
Max Armstrong, Farm Broadcaster from This Week In AgriBusiness will MC the parade, introducing each tractor on-site & on-air, as RFD-TV broadcasts live.

Family and friends will be able to watch the parade from a reserved section in the grandstand and afterwards take a closer look, as all the tractors will be on display around the Fonner Park track. Family and friends will also have VIP reserved seating for the Marty Stuart Show, later that evening. Just be sure to fill in the number of seats you need reserved, for both the parade and the concert.
