Little Falls Two-Cylinder Show

The Greater Minnesota Two-Cylinder Club held their annual Field Days over the first weekend of May in Little Falls, Minnesota. Featured tractors for the 2010 show were Waterloo Boy tractors and engines, John Deere model GPs, and John Deere New Generation 10 Series. The show was held at the Morrison County Fairgrounds, an excellent venue offering plenty of buildings, a large grounds, and a grandstand for the tractor pulls and parade.

The show opened on Friday evening with a garden tractor pull. Intermittent rain cleared up just as the pull started, leaving good weather for most of the evening. Saturday's events included a children's pedal tractor pull and the annual auction. Plowing, both with two-cylinder Deere tractors and garden tractors, occurred throughout the weekend. A parade was held on Sunday morning followed by the antique tractor pull in the afternoon. Demonstrations were held with threshing machines, belt-driven saw rigs, and maple syrup cooking.

Three Waterloo Boy tractors were at the show, two model Ns and one model R. Don Dufner's "830 Special" was also on display, an impressive sight with three model 830 tractors linked. Naturally, a wide range of classic John Deere tractors were on hand along with a handful of other brands. The show also included vintage trucks, garden tractors, and snowmobiles.
