New England Antique Tractor & Truck Association Kicks Off Its Season

Posted

The New England Antique Tractor & Truck Association kicked off their season with a Garden Tractor Pull and a Farm Tractor Pull on April 24th at Francis Farm. The event began with a “test and tune” safety inspection for each tractor.

Members took part in an antique tractor ploughing demonstration at the Bristol Aggie Expo event on April 30th to help show the public what farming was like in the early to mid part of the 1900’s. The oldest tractor at the event was a nicely restored 1926 Fordson Model F farm tractor pulling a Ferguson Sherman two bottom plough, owned by Richie Lemieux of Rehoboth.

A Garden Tractor Pull and Farm Tractor Drop Sled pull is planned at the Dighton Lions Cow Chip Festival, June 4th & 5th.

Our Tenth Anniversary Show will be held on June 12 at Francis Farm from 9-4. This will be our signature event for the year. There will be a swap meet, antique tractor and truck show, live antique farm machinery show, a garden tractor pull, a farm tractor pull, hay ride, bounce room, kids pedal tractors, food, and raffles. Admission is a cash or food donation to the Rehoboth Helping Hands Food Pantry.
