Empire Farm Days - Photos

[MikePA]

Here's some of the 93 photos I took while at Empire Farm Days on Thursday, August 8th. Here's the south entrance. Parking was $5.00, no problem finding a place. Getting out of the parking area took a little longer, but the NY State Police did a good job of keeping the traffic moving.

My wife asked what this was (I told her it's used in wet/boggy areas), then quickly added I could not have one. [img]/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

Actually they're used for general farming too Mike. Alot of farmers are going to the tracked tractors as they don't compact the ground like a wheel driven tractor does.

The sales guy had a remote control for this tractor and would start it when a large enough crowd gathered. He'd spin all four tires, then just the rear tires. It had front and rear PTOs, et. al., but I am not sure what purpose the attachments he used to raise the tractor up off the ground are really used for.

Not one of the big three! [img]/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Here's the area where they did demonstrations of various tractors and attachments.

For you John deere fans. Interesting that some of these tractors have front fenders. Must be a big help in keeping mud off the tractor when the front wheels start spinning, but I wonder if they will last?

The JD110. It's hard to appreciate the small size of this TLB. It's not as small as a BX22, but it's definitely a compact TLB.

Wider is better!
