Farm Progress Show - Boone, IA

I was able to attend the Farm Progress Show in Boone, IA this year - my third year in a row to have a Trimble meeting to attend that was held in conjuction with one of the nation's premiere farm shows. While I was only there for a day, it was fun to visit some of the booths and see what machinery was on display.

For some reason my camera hardly made it out of my pocket this year, but I did manage to snap a few pictures of these interesting tractors at the Case display.


1976 Case 1570 Spirt of '76 - this tractor celebrated the bicentennial of our country with a special stars and strips paint scheme. This tractor has been restored to impeccable standards and it was very interesting to see one in person.


Case MX180 - similar to the original stars and stripes tractor, this newer version was created to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Case company. A much more modern graphic job was fitting for a much more modern tractor!
