Well I just got back from Cedar Falls and thought I would post that even though this was my first national show and I dont have any other to compare it to, I thought this show was excellent!! The variety and quality of tractors and machinery was great. Some of those paint jobs were spectacular. I especially liked the plowing demonstration. It was great seeing an 80, 90, 77, OC-6, and a couple others out there turning the soil. Did anyone else see the 2255 pull on Saturday? I got it on video tape and still get goose bumps watching that monster barrel down the track. Chris, I stopped by the Oliver Gang booth to compliment you on a great web site but you were out, so I thought I would do it here. Keep up the great work. Well, heres to a great show!! PS Next year the Albert City Threshermans (NW Iowa)show is featuring Olivers. Hope to see some of the same tractors and people there. | ||

Thanks for the compliment. The web site has been a labor of love for me, and it makes it a little more worth while to know it is appreciated. Sorry I missed you. I have met a few people at shows that I originally met here on the internet. It's neat to be able to put a face with a name. I saw the plowing and other demonstrations too. I even got to have some Oliver made ice cream from the gentleman that made a PTO powered ice cream maker for his 550. I didn't catch his name, but he was handing out free samples. My thanks go out to him. I saw the 2255 pull too. My camera battery was pretty much dead, but I was able to coax 2 pictures out of it while the 2255 pulled. They didn't have near enough sled to hold that monster back!!! I think my favorite of the show goes to the 1950 FWA with the Terra tires. I took over 350 pictures at the show and plan on posting some of them as soon as I get a chance. I am currently re-working the photo section of this site, so keep watching for some changes there. |
