I was there yesterday as well, first time I had been there in many many years since I was a kid. Big change from what I remembered. the grounds seemed smaller, but that might have been more a factor of their just being a lot more there. Was actually there two days this time, and it was nice since we could look without rushing too much. Yeah, there were a LOT of tractors this year, far more then we remembered.
It really is a heck of a show, with a huge amount to see, and if your bringing kids it really is a good show. The new steam carousel was really neat to see and we were really impressed by all the R&V engines there. And of course, their steam section was as always a nice lineup, the folks willing to maintain, haul and display those beasts deserve a big thanks.
The only complaints dad and I had were the massive lines on saturday even to get something to eat even after 2 and that very few of the tractors and traction engines had any sort of information about the machine. only a few had any sort of tag with make, model, owner or year it seemed, let alone interesting data. There were a number of tractors there that I know were special models, but had no idea what they were.
The other complaint was we were slightly disappointed in the variety of off brand pre war gas tractors, which are a favorite with us. The ones there though were great to see and there were some really interesting ones, but were some very notable absences. I suppose having the featured tractor being JD might have hurt since everyone brought those, but I have to admit it was an impressive sea of green.
All in all, a good way to spend two days, and I'd like to go back next year, i really had missed going. Dad even suggested taking tractors next year.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
