Our club was able to tour both the collection and the Manufacturing plant. It was a very worthwile and interesting tour. Jon is a very down to earth "common Joe" type person. You wouldn't know he is the founder of one of the best quality farm equipment manufacturers in the world. (in my own opinion) I do know when we toured both the plant and his personal collection he was very persistent when he stated "No Photographs". Maybe that has changed since then, so before you post you may want to think twice about posting pics. to protect his privacy and possibly avoid "legal trouble". Also it may lead to the closure of anymore public tours. Just throwing that out there.
