Garden Tractor plow day
Here's what us garden tractor folks do when we get together, we plow fields.
Dairy farmer from my garden tractor forum down near Etown, Ky had a couple fields he needed plowed, got a gathering together and away we went. Total of about 30 tractors were plowing. We had a great time, did some bench, uhm,...."digging" and swapped parts. Had some good food and met some nice guys.
We had one guy from Canada, 1 from NC, 1 from oklahoma, and farthest was from San Antonio Tx.
Line up.
Me plowing, I had one of the smaller tractors there. My is '77 Sears 16 Hp.
Almost half were 2/3 cyl diesels, man, what pulling machines.
The ole girl

Re: Garden Tractor plow day
Yep, plow day for garden tractor guys is equivalent to a car show or cruise in for hot rodders.
You all restore/paint/mod your cars, well tractor guys do too:cheers: and we get together to show off our mods!
There are also mower mudding clubs, mower racing, etc, you can check out on youtube....we just roll dirt!
Here is a link to our forum thread, it should start on page 20 where all the pictures and a bunch of videos start if you are more interested about it.

Re: Garden Tractor plow day
I saw some mower racing last weekend up at the Rebel Run. They put on a heck of a show. I had forgotten they were on the schedule so it was a weclome surprise to see something I've never seen before. Those boys were serious about their horsepower.

Re: Garden Tractor plow day
Yea, that racing stuff though, those boys are crazy.
I'm slowing warming up to getting into pulling, but you can rack up the $$$ real quick with that. My buddy's uncle has $4K wrapped up in a 2 cyl tractor motor. It dyno'd over 125Hp.
