Thanks 👍 The tractor collection is a lot of work but is a lot of fun once the tractors are working. If we do this again we will try to have more working by then. Have a good week
What a great idea - a virtual tractor show - and by the looks of things - you and your family are the right folks to have one - You all sure do take great pride in you beautiful garden tractors - congratulations on all the hard work you put into keeping these old garden tractors in good shape. Have a great day - cheers
This was a fun show plus it was free admission 😉, I like the HT23 and the 1962 ride-o-matic 👍🏻 it looks like a kids pedal tractor, impressive that they still work, great job getting them in working order 👍🏻🙋🏼♂️🙂
Simply Wonderful. You and tour Mates are True Dedicated collectors and Your Knowledge of the Bolens Tractors is very Impressive. Very Generous of You and Your Crew to take the time to do this Tractor Show for us. Thank You very Much, I certainly enjoyed it and Learned a Lot about Bolens. Really Great Show, well Done, Thanks Again.
Thanks for the kind words and glad you enjoyed it. It took us three days in total but it was fun and good to see some of the tractors that had been in storage for a while. Have a good week
I have never seen that many Bolens in one place before, I had 4 at one time and I though that was a lot,, it must take a big warehouse to store all of those, very good tractor show.
Hey Vern, now when the wife comments on all of your tractors, you can tell her you don't have as many as the boy in the U.K. - lol - have a great day Vern
How's she goin'? Well holy cow Joseph, you guys have more tractors than fleas on a dog!!! Terrific. And you have restored so many of them. You knew them all too, pretty impressive!!! It's great that you are interested in the tractors and also their history!!! Nice show!!! I enjoyed it very much!!!
Holy Schmokes, Joseph! I had no idea you and dad had so many Bolens. A very impressive sight indeed, my friend. Enjoyed the video immensely. Big thumbs-up on this fantastic display. Maybe one day you could show how you store away this many Bolens without creating a security risk with your property. Kudos to the camera guy for his excellent camera work and driving skills. Bye for now. 👍🏽🙂
Thanks, pleased you enjoyed it. We are going to be making some changes to our storage layour soon, but we are currently thinking of how to put that into a video. Have a good week
You have a small fortune there, and a very nice collection. Was a good video to watch while eating lunch. Have a great day! Well back to the park avenue.
I was wondering why Howard was on some of the bolens tractors! But wow what a collection! And I love how no garden tractor collection doesn't have a Westwood!
Impressive collection, Joseph. I liked the tractor show. Too bad we couldn't see the rest of the tractors. This was enjoyable! I want to go back to see all of your earlier videos. That will be interesting!
Great virtual show - thank you for sharing. Great collection but going to need to find more storage space if it keeps growing (which it probably will).
Thanks. Unless a couple of certain tractors come up for sale, I think we are at our limit for tractors both with storage space and the amount of projects to get through. Have a good week
Thanks. The 1962 Bolens Ride-a-matic is my favourite too and the one I enjoy taking to tractor shows. I am hoping we will get the blue 1054 back working again soon
Good evening Joseph crew 😉👌 What a beer tent 🤔😉👌🍻 You have a giant garden tractor collection 😮😮😮 Outstanding demonstration Joseph Crew and friends 👌💪👍😊 Cheers 🍻
Thank you very much. They are not easy to find in the UK but they do turn up on ebay and the UK Facebook groups, it just takes time. I think a Bolens 1253 is currently for sale on the Bolens lawn & garden tractors UK Facebook group. Also we do know someone who is looking to sell his collection so if you struggle to find something drop us an email and we will pass on contact details. Take care
Hello Joseph, Well that's the first Garden Tractor Show I have attended... Hopefully I can go to a real one next year and say hello in person to you guys. Mum did a good job behind the camera, there could be a wrestling match between mum and dad next week for who is the camera person.... Take care. Paul,, Ps. Do you have a favorite tractor?
If we meet up with you at a show, then you could take one of our tractors into the arena or working area. I don't really have a favourite, but I do like the '62 Ride-a-matic. Have a good week
A fantastic collection. Did your father collect first or did you both start together? When my son was 12 we both started collecting. He did have a MagnaTrac wheeled GT and a Simplicity Broadmoor but they had problems. I didn't want him spending so much time on video games so I found some good garden tractors. We have a bit of woods he could drive around so, it kept him busy for hours. Good Luck, Rick
Thanks. My dad started collecting before I was born and after I took an interest in them we started going to shows and spending more time working on them. I do some video games but I prefer spending time on the tractors and being outside. Have a good week
I really enjoyed that. Great collection. Never heard of Westwood before. Are there any brands or models you guys wanted but couldn’t acquire in the UK?
Thanks. Westwood is a UK company, the D1200 is an interesting tractor as it is diesel. We have a long list of brands and models we would love to have but can't find, I really love your collection. Top of our list would be a roundhood Wheelhorse ideally a RJ or suburban and an early pre-1959 Bolens Ride-a-matic. We also have a huge list of attachments we would like to find for our tractors, top of the list being a 3pt for a Bolens HT and a Mackissic shredder for a Bolens tube frame. Although shipping is expensive we have thought about buying in the US and importing. We also really like some of the usual brands but many of those seems to be rare anywhere. Do you see many older machine for sale in your part of the world?
@@GardenTractorBoy Northeastern United States (New England) has a good selection of older machines and brands. Some brands do tend to be more concentrated in certain states. If you don’t already own it you and your dad should check out the “Garden Tractor” book by Oscar Will. I know you’d enjoy it.
Very nice to see all your tractors! Really enjoyed seeing all the Bolens models and them running
Thank you very much! It was a fun day and something we should do again. Take care
That is a very impressive collection. Nice to see the whole family enjoying the tractors. Thanks and have a great weekend Joseph and family

Marvelous Bolen's Collection and a wonderful Tractor Show! I really like the 62 Bolen's automatic but really they all are very nice. Quite a show!
Thank you very much! The 1962 Ride-a-matic is the one I like most too and the one I like taking to shows. Take care
Impressive to see them all out and in formation ! Thank you for the show !
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Have a good week

The 1962 Ride A Matic was cooler than the flip side of my pillow!! Enjoyed seeing your part of your collection!! Great Stuff! 👍👍👍
Thanks, it is one of my favourite too, but some people don't like the shape of the grill compared to the '61 or '60 Ride-a-matics. Have a good week
I have never seen that many Bolens in one place before, I had 4 at one time and I though that was a lot,, it must take a big warehouse to store all of those, very good tractor show.
Hey Vern, now when the wife comments on all of your tractors, you can tell her you don't have as many as the boy in the U.K. - lol - have a great day Vern
We really struggle with space at the moment but we have some big changes coming up to help with space. Take care

Thanks 👍 LOL. We have lots more projects that will keep us busy for a number of years. Have a good week
Amazing collection! We have 3 Westwood’s, the wheelhorse and the fordson. You really can have a show all of your own!

@@GardenTractorBoy thanks
@@GardenTractorBoy Thanks for the advice, just bought a nice Westwood t1200 off eBay for £360.
@@Digitness Great purchase. We have two Westwoods of that age and they are well built machines. We do have a few spares if you get stuck with anything
@@GardenTractorBoy thanks
Great tractor show. VERY impressed! Just thinking how many batteries you have to keep charged. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, we are limited at the moment to how many tractors we can get working by the amount of batteries we have. Have a good week
