The Kansas Tractor Club, formed in 2012, is a non-profit group of people with a common interest in antique tractors. Many members purchase, restore and show our tractors at local events. We want to pass on this love of collecting tractors and other farm equipment to preserve and educate future generations about America’s agricultural heritage. In the spring of each year, the club awards a $1,000 scholarship to a student interested in an ag related career. You may find more information about the club, including upcoming events, on the Kansas Tractor Club website.
The Kansas Tractor Club has set May 3rd for our spring drive. In case of rain, the drive will be held on May 10.
Everyone is welcome to bring any tractor for this drive. You don’t have to be a member of the club.
We will be unloading at Chuck Henry’s place located on Old Highway 40, at the east side of Solomon. The drive will begin at 9:30 AM. Try to unload and attend the drivers meeting at 9:15 AM to go over the rules and details of the drive.
There will be no entry fee for this drive.
Lunch (bring your own) will be at Eisenhower Park in Abilene.
The club will provide water and a bathroom on the drive.
We will take an early break just after the start of the drive to tour Gail Rodda’s restored antique tractors, Model Ts’ & Model A. We will have another break on the afternoon trip back to Solomon.
RULES:
Your tractor must be able to maintain a 10 MPH speed or better. No riders are allowed unless there is a safe place for them to sit. If someone is moving too slow and falling behind the others, pass safely. Someone in a pickup will be available to assist them if they need help. If you do break down and can’t be repaired, someone will be available to take you back to Solomon to get your trailer. Someone will assist in loading your tractor. Other details will be addressed during the drivers meeting the morning of the drive.
Let your family and friends know about the drive. All are welcome!!!
Any donations offered will go to cover the cost of the drive and/or to the Kansas Tractor Club Scholarship fund.
