Pictures from our plowday in Holland

I would like to share some pictures of the plowday that my dad held a few weeks ago on 9 septembre. It was a very nice and sunny day. About 10 treactors did come to plow in the field behind our house.

Great, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the great photos.

Great Pictures!  Thanks for sharing.

Thats a great assortment of tractors and plows , many are ones we will never see in the US,  I see a Unstyled - WC setting outside shed door , It must have had the day off as nothing behind it.

Thanks for sharing and farmers are or just about do the same things world wide.  Like eating dinner in the barn for one thing.

very neat, Johan.  Good looking equipment on good looking ground.  Alot of your country men settled in my area, north-west washington.  We have similiar climates, I think, reclaimed tidal ground, and lots of old ACs.

Nice tractors AND nice shed!!!

I think you're referring to photo #16. The tractor with the exhaust coming out the left side of the tractor. It looks to be a Zetor, made in the Czech Republic. Not sure of the model but made in the early 70's. Quite a few FWA Zetors came to NZ. Nobody wanted to be seen owning one but you couldn't kill them with work. They're still on the market here, much improved.

Thanks for the great pictures and videos. That Lanz is a cool tractor!!  There are quite a few of them in my area from a very early L1 to the later models.

About the ground: The ground that we have here is one off the best nutritious ground's you can have in the Netherlands. It's a clay ground but not really heavy. Otherwise you can't handle a size of a plow like you guy's do. For a 2 bottom plow you will need at least 40 to 45hp.

Thank You very much for posting this.  It is great seeing all of the different tractors.  That Bulldog looks like a really odd tractor, but I really like the looks of it.

But you can see that Lanz Bulldog people are a special kind of people. The value of a Lanz is many times higher than any other brand, even the type's that are not rare. A unrestored Lanz must cost at least €5000. And there are many Lanz's that will sold for 15000 til 35000 euro's. In Germany it is even crazier with prices.

Thanks for sharing Johan. I like Oliver tractors too. I'm originally from Waterloo Ia where the John Deere tractor calls home. I've also driven by the factory in Charles City Iowa where it was Hart-Parr first, then Oliver, and finally White before AGCO had it torn down. Your friend with the Oliver can get production details for it with the serial number by contacting the Floyd County Museum in Charles City Iowa.

It looks a little drier than the day you were at Bert's.
