Did anyone happen to notice the AC in the movie tonight? It looked like one of the earlier Fiat styled ones, 5040 or such. Hooked to a wagon in a barn. Could only see the back and a little of the right side of the hood. I noticed the show was filmed in Nova Scotia. Always nice to see an AC in the movies.

John, we saw the movie also but didn't think it was an AC. Not saying your wrong!

I was wondering if Sam Elliot is a tractor guy from way back? He seemed to be a natural driving the tractor.

I don't think it was an AC either; looked more red than orange, and not sure of brand. Pulling a trailer at field speed wouldn't be too difficult and besides, he always rode horses real good and that should qualify him to drive a slow tractor, one horse vs 40+ governed. A really good, moving movie.

I think White and Allis were getting some of their smaller tractors from the same place at one time.

I don't know for sure either. Only saw it in the barn, must have missed the other shot of Sam driving the tractor. I know Oliver sold two models of those Fiats, 1265 and 1365 in the '70's. Don't know if White kept the line, they had Iskie, or something from Japan that looked a lot like them also Kubota had an almost exact copy of that style Fiat back then.
At least we can all agree it was a tractor!LOL

It was a White. I saw it 10-20 minutes from the end, pulling a wagon.

Was it red, orange or ? Since it was filmed in NS, it could have been a Cocshutt.
