Default Freeport Tractor/Threshing Show Pics & Video

Made a trip to Freeport, IL today for the 46th annual Tractor and Threshing Show and thought I'd share some pics and a few videos of the tractor pull action. Hope y'all enjoy!

First up are a few random shots of attractions from around the show in no particular order. FYI the Cubs pictured below are all owned by a local member jboelens and a friend of his. Compliments on the nice machines, jboelens!












Next up is a couple pictures and a bit of information on an old engine that has been around quite a while. I'll let the images do the talking. I was told that the engine was installed in a 3 foot thick slab of concrete. When the saw mill (more on that later) was originally set up, the plan was to turn it around and let this engine power it. Plans to do that were scrapped because the engine produces so much power/vibration that the engine would have picked up it's concrete foundation and shook it apart. Impressive to say the least!





The next couple pics and accompanying video are of the saw mill and the steam engine that happened to be powering it.

Next couple pics are of some of the feature tractors of the year, International Harvester. I didn't get nearly enough pics of them as there were too many nice machines to stop and take pics of them all. I just snapped a few as we made our way around.







And finally a few videos of the tractor pull. Hope you guys enjoy!

Thanks for the compliments Ryan. It's always hard trying to decide what to bring to a show, and how many trips are necessary!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
