o.The Genesee Valley Antique Tractor Club was born in 1988 when several owners of elderly tractors decided to get together to see whose pride and joy could pull the most, the furthest. The early pulls were held in a field on the Carl Granger farm in Higgins, NY, near Fillmore. Now the club pulls at various locations, including the Allegany County Fair and Rushford during the Labor Day celebrations. The first few years, an old fashioned stone boat was used as weight, but in 1990 a weight-transfer "sled" was purchased by the club. A semi-tractor was also acquired to transport the "slam. Pleed" to pulls in other areas. Many of these old "iron horses" remind viewers of earlier days on the farm, or of one just like their dad used to own. But painstaking and careful restoration by the owners has been necessary to rebuild engines and bring back a showroom shine! Although the pace of the action might seem slow compared to other activity, we invite you to relax, cheer them on and enjoy!.
