Antique Farm Equipment Celebrates Agricultural Heritage
RALEIGH – More than 700
pieces of antique tractors
and farm equipment will be
on display as part of the
Got to be NC Festival June 5-
8 at the N.C.State
Fairgrounds. Machines dating
back to the 1930s and
representing brand names
such as Ford, Allis-
Chalmers, John Deere, Cub
Cadet and Massey Ferguson
will be part of the
inaugural four-day event.
Many of these tractors will
compete in the antique
tractor pulls on Saturday
and Sunday.
More than 20 clubs from
across the state will be
showcasing equipment such as
tractors, hit-and-miss
engines, plows, corn
shellers and mowers. In
addition, prizes will be
awarded for the best tractor
equipment display in three
different age categories:
prior to 1930, 1930-1949 and
1950-1960.
“Being a farmer myself, I am
particularly excited to see
all of the antique equipment
that will be brought in,”
said Agriculture
Commissioner Steve
Troxler. “This is shaping up
to be one of the largest
antique tractor and farm
equipment shows in the
eastern United States, and
it will be a lot of fun to
see all of the old names and
models on display.”
Participating clubs include
Carolina Antique Tractor
Pullers Association, Iron
Peddlers Antique Power Club,
Apple Country Antique Engine
& Tractor Association, Pee
Dee Antique Power Club and
Ford/Fordson Collectors
Association.
“The show will be fun and
educational for the whole
family,” said Pat Short, the
festival’s motorsports
coordinator. “Adults can
reminisce about the
equipment they used or grew
up with on the farm, while
children can learn all about
the agricultural heritage of
North Carolina.”
In addition to the tractors
and equipment on display,
the Sandhills Antique Farm
Equipment Club from
Lillington will run antique
farm equipment several times
a day to demonstrate how the
pieces work and what they
were used for. This includes
a corn shredder, thrashing
machine, hay baler, corn
shellers, grist mill, feed
mill, tobacco stick cutter
and other pieces of belt-
driven equipment.
Festival hours will be 3
p.m.-midnight Thursday and
Friday, and 10 a.m.-midnight
Saturday and Sunday.
Admission is free. Tickets
to events in the Sam Rand
Grandstand will be $5.
The antique tractor and farm
equipment show will be open
during the festival’s normal
operating hours. The
festival will also feature a
food expo, carnival rides
and games, the state
barbecue cooking
championship and more. For
