I found this photo full of color to share today. It is from the past when my father in law and I had attended the Great Iowa Tractor Ride. Hundreds of tractors are out doing their thing following each other across a large distance of the state. It was sponsored by a local radio station.
It was fun to see all the old restored tractors as well as the big new expensive ones with air conditioned cabs. A hundred at a time would come into this town, Minburn, Iowa and then the group would move on to the next destination. Another group of a hundred would drive in to take their place as they made pit stops across the state. I think there was over a thousand in the entire group that year.

Yes, that is a very colorful picture. I like the older ones better than the newer one. The new ones just look too comfortable.
What a great photo and memory. I have a blog friend in TN and her husband participates in something similar in their state.
Went to my first "Tractor Pull" last summer. Now I can cross that off my bucket list. Too bad it wasn't on my list.
That must have been something to see in person. I like your picture -- I haven't seen a Farmall tractor in ages.
It must have been a spectacular sight seeing so many tractors together.
Great picture, Larry! So perfect for a dreary winter day! My husband has an old Oliver 88 and loves to see the old tractors out and about. When is this "Ride"?
Wow that would have been something to see:)
