I've got a few pics to post also once I get them sized down a bit. It was another outstanding event this year. Weather was perfect again this year, and that is a sweet piece of ground to plow. A huge thanks to all those that were involved with putting it on.

I had a blast this weekend. I would like to thank the hosts and anyone who helped out putting on a good show. The pulling sled was a good time. I never thought the one arm loader had that much in her. I pulled 212 feet, further than most of the green machines.

I posted a couple of videos of the pulling on YouTube. It was getting late so the lighting was poor. Which make poor videos.

This one is Chris pulling with his hit miss.

The better half also pulled. I did better.

A few pictures.

Lots of room to play.

The view from the seat.

Hmmm got myself behind some brand X machines.

You ever have that feeling that someone is sneaking up behind you.....I pointed my camera over my shoulder and ended up with this.

My old beast.

Art's Plow Special

Jeff Sandegren's 782, mostly orginal paint on that, a very sweet ride.

A very wide range of stuff showed up, don't see many of these very often.

To all of you Fall Harvester Plow Day attendees ... THANK YOU so much!! You are the #1 reason the weekend was a HUGE success. It was great to see so many of you again & we hope to continue the tradition in future years.

Thanks also have to go to our SUPER-gracious location hosts - Mike & Patty Betzler. It would be tough to do without them.

Special thanks to a photographer enthusiast - John Lang, & the rest of you who've posted some fabulous photos! It sure is fun to see all of the pictures. It's difficult to be two places at one time, so it sure is great to have a photographic display of happenings from that day!

Thanks also to Chris Busch for helping out with the raffle, & also thanks to the un-named countless others who contributed!!

The Montrose Boy Scouts once again did a great job with the food! We're ever so grateful to have one less worry on our plate (literally!) for that day. Over 400 burgers were served!

Again, a big Minnesota THANKS to all of you from your Fall Harvester Plow Day Hosts - Bob Hafften & Tony Morris

FYI....If you check out the Weekendfreedommachines.org gallery page. John Lang has posted a large number of photos of all brand tractors and people.

We really had a good time and appreciate the Betzlers hospitality for the use of their property. Also would like to thank Bob, Tony and sponsers for all the work they did.

Hi everyone! I too want to thank everyone who made the Fall Harvester Plow Days such a big success. I never enjoyed one more than this one.
I uploaded big versions of my 210 photos over on the WFM Gallery site. Here are thumbnails of what I put on there.
