Did it one year, my junior year in school. A bunch of us in the class organized it for the last day of school. The next year we thought about it to late to get anyone interested, or to get permission to "steal" the tractor.

That was the first time at that school and I don't think anybody did it since.

That time I took a McCormick W4.

Nick1,

Take a look at Randolph Mn annual school tractor ride.

These families have got it right.

We do one in our ffa twice per year- once in September the Friday before our last tractor pull of the year, and once in May before our first tractor pull of the season. Our ffa also has truck and tractor pulls throughout the year run almost completely by the students.

The local FFA does it twice a year as well. Last fall one of the girls in ag science 1 drove her horse and wagon to school.

many moons ago, i took a shiny 4020 for FFA drive your tractor to school. About 10 years ago, I hauled my 77 about 3 miles away from town for my son to take it. We had the same problem, lived too far away from the school for him to drive it all the way. it would have dark when he left home and dark when he came back.

When the roads were real muddy I drove a IHC WD9 to school with my younger brother and sister. I was in the 7 and 8 grade. No party just good oh school.

my son and his friends got it going for a couple of years before he graduated two years ago. First year he drove our JD 60 and then convinced me to let him help me get our JD 830 going after it had been sidelined for 10 years with a bad radiator core. he drove it around 4 miles to school in the pouring rain. Don't know if anyone continued the tradition. Bill

When i was going to Ag school in the early sixties(i was just 12) the whole class was involved in rebuilding the engine of an old farmall that the shop teacher owned, at that time i had just acquired an old Allis B with a stuck engine that had been sitting in a manure pit for at least 10 years . i made a $10 bet with that teacher that i would have mine running before he would his.
The look on his face was priceless when i drove that Allis into the schoolyard one morning a month later and beating him by a good 6 weeks on his tractor :lol:

(quoted from post at 00:57:48 02/10/15) We do one in our ffa twice per year- once in September the Friday before our last tractor pull of the year, and once in May before our first tractor pull of the season. Our ffa also has truck and tractor pulls throughout the year run almost completely by the students.

Forgot to mention, we also dig out our dyno on tractor dive in days and do a little tuning and friendly hp competition. That kind of encourages kids to drive different tractors.

It was a tradition at our school. On seniors last day of school, we'd drive one. Seems like about a dozen of us did it. The local farmers would even lend out tractors if they trusted you and didn't have one.

I did on Firday of FFA week as well. I worked at the Deere dealership and took a new one with a cab since we did not own one with a cab.

Thanks for all the input! I'm getting a little excited first time I've done it
