And just to be clear, I make zero money from U-Toob.  I simply put them there so they can be shared. I have not found another way to link a video where others can see it. I like seeing the machinery work and I know a lot of you do also.

Well if you can get paid for posting stuff that people want to see more power to you. It takes a lot of time and effort to put all this stuff together.

That’s true. I went through my phone battery 2-3x the normal rate the last couple days.  
 

Made it home a little bit ago. It was an enjoyable show.  Got to meet up with old friends and meet a couple new ones.  Always nice to meet another member in person. Never ran across several others I knew were there somewhere. For those of you on the fence about making a trip to the HCOP, you won’t find anything else like it that I know of anywhere.

Sledge, what a coincidence,  I scored a low hour Cub Cadet 127 with blade today at HCOP.....had to squeeze it on the trailer, but she made it home and in the collection!

@Mr. Plow 

We did actually find a couple interesting things that were a little more serious. My buddy that was with me had been looking for a set of dual hubs for 2-3/4” axles and I saw a set of hubs on a random wagon away from the venders. We went back and checked. A nice set of M&W dual hubs for 2-3/4”!  Price was good also so they followed him home. Even had part of the original sticker left inside them that said Super M, 400, and some things we couldn’t read.

I found an odd manual I had never seen. Marked (6-80) so it should be for 86 series

The 660 that was repowered with a 361 was really struggling plowing, the poor Deere behind him had to stop several times so as not to hit him.

Never saw him today where I was. Saw several guys having trouble. The 8630 was fairly sad looking and not just because it’s a JD. It just had too much plow behind it. When you have 8 nearly new tires spinning and clawing like mad it’s not good. We figured he might not have weighed enough for that 12 btm today.

Between 3-330 this afternoon.

That’s about the time I pulled in at the house. The craziness started about 10:30 today. Before that it wasn’t overcrowded really. We headed for the truck after that.

Thank you for the video and pictures.  Special thanks for the crawler pictures. The Cat D6 and AC HD9 are some of my favorites. Spent a lot of time on both.

 

Getting a long time since the 2 tractor hocked in tandem for one driver would of been worked in the field for real. But a F460 and M(?) hocked together? Would that be close to matching ground speeds in different gears to not tearing at least tires up? I always thought to matching tractors, 😵 but what do I know.

A lot of talented people with time and money. And they bring them out for all to enjoy.

That M with the cab reminds me of one an area guy had back in the 50's. All the cabs back in those days were made with whatever was handy. Some were pretty well built units while others kept you out of the weather but nothing more.  That one looks pretty nice for it's day. 

Ahhhh the days gone by.
