2023 Half Century of Progress Show Plowing and More!

After a long 2-year wait, its finally time for the Half Century of Progress Show! After hauling 10 loads of equipment to Rantoul, we were ready to have some fun. Among our fleet was an 8630 Kinze Repower, a 5020 Kinze Repower, an 1150 Versatile and many more. The show hosted an Allis Chalmer D21 reunion where they managed to gather over 220 of the tractors. Seeing that many in one place was very, very cool. I have never seen so many golf carts and side by sides in my life, and heard at one point there were over 6000 of them spread over their 1500 show grounds. Rantoul is truly a great show, and we always look forward to it. After this weekend, we are all very much looking forward to our show next year!
Thanks for watching, and I'll see ya on the next one!

Noticed the 4 WD Deere with the real engine, CUMMINS shining in it. If Allis Chalmers could have perfected the Big AL engines, wouldn't those have been something. 450-500-600 hp. Notice how effortlessly those Allis crawler tractors pulled those plows. And no soil compaction like rubber tires. Glad to see companies making rubber tracks now, too bad the farmers can not grasp the concept more affirmatively.

I know Jon renner and terry

[@CharlesCanary]

Jon I saw you plowing with the 8v71 5020, and why wasn't the 12v71 at the show

[@RennerStockFarms]

It is having some differential problems and we figured 9 loads of equipment was enough lol

[@CharlesCanary]

@@RennerStockFarms ok

[@dennisstultz914]

Why are they plowing ground that has already been worked???
