• 16th Annual Little Guys Show 2010

    Bantam Garden Tractor with trailer.
    First off we want to thank Marie and Bob for hosting such a great show and also thank them for having us for the 16th Annual Little Guys Show. The show was held at Bob and Marie's farm in Mt. Wolf, PA on May 15th and 16th. They did a great job at keeping things flowing between the different events.




    Bantam Garden Tractor
    This years show featured Bantam tractors. On Saturday they started off with the tractor parade. We have video from the parade which you can see below or on our Youtube channel: Tractortalk. We apologize if anyone was missing from the video, we are working on getting better video equipment and editing software.













    Case Garden Tractors
    There were a lot of great tractors and about every brand was covered from Bantam, Case, Cub, John Deere, Panzer, David Bradley and more. There were also quite a few guys from the Wheel Horse Collectors Club in attendance.

    I had a really good time and it was nice talking to a lot of people. We had a warm welcoming at this show from some people already knowing who we were. Bob had us set up our tent behind the pavilion where the tractors lined up for the parade. We have a ton of pictures from the show, you can see them in the Little Guys Show Gallery.

    I managed to slip away for a little while and got some seat time on the Cub 147 to pull a couple times. Made me realize I need weights and I can't wait to get into it some more and dedicate a tractor to strictly pulling.

    On Sunday it was the main event day. They started off with the tilling competition. If memory serves me right Bob said there were three guys that tilled the previous year and this year they had five of them. They all did a great job at tilling. You can see the video from the tilling below:









    David Bradley Tri-Trac
    The next event was the plowing competition. I believe there were 20 people that plowed including my wife. It was her first time even driving the Massey 12G. The guys were a tremendous help. They helped us make last minute adjustments, draw the lines for her plot to be plowed. They even threw on a couple weights on the front for her. There were a couple walk behinds that plowed and also the David Bradley Tri-Trac.













    Wheel Dan
    I also managed to get some video of the Wheel Dan which I will do more coverage on at the Wheel Horse Show in Arendtsville, PA. It was very cool getting to see the tractor in person and being able to get some video of it in action. I plan on getting video of it loading a tractor at the Wheel Horse show and preferably not a Massey. Matt tried to see if I noticed his one picture he posted and I did, but being a Massey guy I just wasn't giving him the satisfaction of the joke LOL.



    Here is the video of the Wheel-Dan:



    I can't wait for the 17th Annual Little Guys show, I only hope that Bob and Marie will invite us back and we can get even more people to partake in a great event. There were lots of great looking tractors and everyone did such a nice job with them whether they were workers, restorations or resto-mods. You should all be proud of your machinery and we appreciate having a chance to check them out and take pictures.

    Speaking of pictures, we know how you all love pictures and we took plenty of them, almost 400 pictures were taken. Don't forget to check them all out in the 16th Annual Little Guys Show Gallery.

    Here is some clips put together that my dad had taken with his regular camera, he got me pulling and with my little girl and also my wife plowing.


    See you all next year

      I think a green tractor would look nice being winched up onto the Wheel Dan!
      Not a single Bush Hog tractor there?

      Not a problem Daniel. And the ribbin is ok too it is all in fun. Heck up until a couple weeks ago I didn't know that Bush Hog made a Garden Tractor.


      Hey George did you get any pictures of that custom Oliver that was in the parade video? That looked pretty neat.

      I still have some more pictures to upload. I am going to take care of that today. I apologize for anyone that was at the show anxiously awaiting pics and video because it took me a little longer then normal to get everything done. We have been really busy with personal things for those that don't know. I hope everyone enjoys the pics.

      That custom Oliver I believe was actually a Case. I don't know if we got pics of it or not. I will check when I upload the last of the pics.

      I just uploaded the last of the pictures. There was a picture or two of the Oliver which I think was a Case 444. There are 383 pics in total. That is a lot of pictures, would probably take an hour or more with the slideshow to see them all
