  • One can almost imagine International Harvester and Allis-Chalmers engineers taking notes as a 1950 TD24 and 1952 HD20 go neck and neck in the dirt. Or are they seeing the future in the 1974 D9G?
  • Along with over two hundred antique crawler and wheel tractors, show host Kurt Kocher’s collection includes many other machines, some fairly recent like this 1974 Cat D9G.
  • Here’s a fine down-on shot of Dennis and Sue Johnson’s International Harvester TD24. It dates to 1950, the year after the TD24 was reintroduced following failure and recall of the original version.
  • This 1957 Bantam C35, owned by the Heartland Chapter, has Bantam called its “all-vision” cab. It was standard on the CR35 self-propelled version, but is undocumented on the crawler or truck models.
  • This is Brad and Kathy Smith’s Hercules Dirt Scoop built by Insley Manufacturing Company – the same Insley that also built concrete equipment and, later, cable and hydraulic excavators and cranes.
  • The show featured a pair of Clark 290-M military surplus tractors with Euclid scrapers, owned by Dane Barclay. This tractor was built in 1967 and has the original Euclid 21SH pan.
  • Truck-drawn bottom dumps make for speed in over-the road hauling, dumping and windrowing. This 1972 I-H 210D tractor is owned by Levi Martens, and John Martens owns the 1956 Fruehauf trailer.
  • This early Maney scraper, built by Baker Manufacturing Co., is representative of early tractor-drawn scrapers. Mike and Sue Waggoner own the scraper, and an unregistered I-H TD6 provides the power.
  • Dave Geis demonstrates his restored 1962 P & H S-20 Stik-Clam. The Stik-Clam could use its two cubic foot clam bucket 11 feet below or above the surface, and it could dig along walls.
  • Dave Jowett showed this steam tandem roller built by The Iroquois Iron Works of Buffalo, New York.
  • The show was adjacent to a wind farm, and while the turbines didn’t help cool anything they set up numerous anachronisms with vintage machinery like this Cat side-seat RD6 and Trailer Patrol grader.
