THE
CHOSEN FEW
Tractor collectors are
devoted time keepers of
agriculture equipment. Preservers of tractors that without them,
would be destined for the scrap heap. Only their keen eyes can
see
the beauty that most have overlooked, and only they have acted on their
emotions to restore old tractors. They go without meals, lose
plenty
of sleep and spend endless hours searching, scraping, and
scouring.
They work in the dirt, the grease, and their problems are sometimes
almost
impossible to solve, but somehow they find a way, and through their
devotion,
their hard work, their sheer determination, we now have a whole archive
of farm tractors for future generations to enjoy. So, visit a farm show
and experience the excitement with THE CHOSEN FEW.
