Got to see the most important stuff, all orange

This thing looks bullet proof

This impressed me too, the workmanship was excellent, and the sides are made to run the blade slightly down in the front.

Thanks for the pics - I wish we had a show like that in CT. Anything else new that stood out?

Take Care,

The big Fendt tractors really stood out, they look top quality and expensive, the cab looked like a cockpit on an airliner, but i didn't get any pics. wish i could have stayed longer.

I saw a nice challenger tractor (about 60 hp) that was my favorite. It was made in the UK and looked sturdier than most with a perkins engine in it. Anyone know who actually made this tractor ?

It was made in the Massey Ferguson plant in Coventry England, which AGCO has since closed.

From your pictures, Hurschel, it seems like there weren't many TRACTORS at the tractor show. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

There were several there, however it is a farm equipment show not a tractor show. Companies make more money off of attachments and such than they do tractors.

On the contrary............there were so many tractors there.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Challenger, Cub Cadet, NH, JD, Valtra, Zetor, Branson, Tafe, Same, Deutz, Kubota, Kioti......and probably more.

That is a huge place and there were tractors set up all through the displays, I was there Thursday and I thought all the school kids were there that day, there were a lot of places the crowd was so thick you could only shuffle along.
I walked by the Dodge display and the crowd was about four deep around the Dually cummins. I would like to spend a couple of days there, after I left I realized that I didn't get by Pats Quick Hitch booth, sure wish he'd start making the toothbars, I live close enough that I wouldn't have to pay shipping. Oh well maybe next year.

Inspector507 · Feb 14, 2004

Yes it was huge, I spent the better part of 2 days there. I ran into Pat, great guy.
Met up with Jim McCuan and met Mark Carter from CCI in Jim's booth as well.

I can understand that - the last show I was at was a motorcycle show at the Javitts center in NY - it is hard to take everything in. Thanks for the info.

Take Care,

I missed Pat's Easy Change. I did see Jim McCuan. I stopped by R&B Mfg and picked up one of their large angle meters. I plan on mounting it on the blade of my dozer. Rick seems like a really nice guy. I saw Cooper Tractor there. He posts on here from time to time. I have a few tractor pictures from the show but most of of my daughters hogging the seats of the biggest tractors that could find.
