I will start this and add as I go. Anyone else is welcome to add to this. No order just as I took them and stuff I found interesting.

Thanks for the pictures, Todd. The pair of Oliver 880s in the first set was puzzling. Appears to say the setup was used for 3 years, and then parked for 60 years. If I had built that arrangement and it didn't work as well as hoped, I would certainly put them back to single tractors and get the work out of them!

Thank You Todd ! 

    Love the pictures ! Wish I was there !

     The unrestored 806L.P. above could be the exact twine of my 806L.P. before restoring.

     TWOSTEPN2001  , Cal-Tex cotton tractor had a twin !!!

Thanks for the pictures! It looks like there is a great turn out and there is a little bit of everything. 

 

This year I went to my first RPRU in Du Quoin and I was wondering what the HCOP show is like compared to a RPRU? Obviously all tractor brands are welcome so its not just IH but, is the show roughly the same size, bigger or smaller? Are there more demonstrations going on? Tractor pulling? Is it in the same location every year? 

Next year I'm thinking I'll go to the HCOP show instead of the RPRU in Ohio but I'd like to get an idea of what to expect.

There are working demonstrations also. Haven’t been there yet. It’s wet out from rain. Pulls later on today.

I like those re-powers. Especially the 5020 with the big rears. But, ohhhhhhhhh, my ears hurt just looking at them.

Plowing, disking, combining, ear picking, shellers, you name it for demonstrations. I think they plant 400 acres. Only held every other year.
