Photos from Versatile get together

Last week I wrote a blog about a bunch of farmers bringing their Versatile tractors together for a meet. Les Kletke, a Manitoba farm writer and public speaker, drove down to see the event, which was at the Arth family farm near Cayuga, North Dakota.

Les says over 250 farmers turned out, many of them bringing their own tractors. The event had 58 Versatile tractors, representing every series built — including a restored Model 100 that bares serial number "20."

The first picture is of Jim Brendt who farms near Cayuga. He grows 1,400 acres of wheat, corn and soybeans. He bought this 850 used and says he "just loves the classic old tractor," Les says.

Brendt is painting and restoring it "but it works on the farm everyday, and that is the great thing about these tractors, they work every day."

Thanks Les for sending along the photos.
