The Camp Creek Threshers in Waverly, NE, featured Deere this year. Had never been to that show before so we loaded the little "H" up and made the 600 mile round trip last weekend. Very nice show, lots of tractors, and well organized. The members there really do a great job. I didn't count the number of tractors but I understand there were something like 400 units in the parade.
Here are some random shots taken -
Jack Beck's 1925 Spoker D
Jack's 1932 GPO
1934 GP "Beaner"
The Spoker threshed a load of wheat without breaking a sweat.
Bob Sweeny and family had some amazing collections. Here are a number of left-hand horse plows.
The Sweenys also had an incredible collection of "feed cutters" which were the forerunners of what we called choppers, or what Deere would call "forage harvesters". Their collection included one of every model made by one of the manufacturers. They let the kids have a hand at working some of them.
A wide-angle shot of some of the tractors starting with the feature tractor rows.
