Here's a good memory as fall nights grow colder.
Thank you Stevens family for taking great care of this special unit.
Tired Iron members aren't just about tractors at the Farmers' Museum. Every year, we gather on the last day to enjoy the Carousel.

The annual pedal pull at the Farmers' Museum got a brief rain but these winners rose to victory anyway. We run four classes every year: under 50, 50-80, 80-100 and over 100 for the 'big kids' that still like to play. Congratulations to these strong legged individuals.
A big thank you to all the Stevens family for helping out..

The weather may be gloomy on occasion but the demos are in place and we are ready for the Chenango County Fair.
We are excited to have the popular Ohio Haypress back in our demo circle along with 2 corn processing demos, another popular round baler and a small animal treadmill that may just be making some butter at the fair.
We are also offering raffle tickets on a first prize 4 cord of firewood and second prize of 1 face cord.
And... kids, don't forget our tent is Bale Man's favorite hangout spot.

We will be at the General Clinton Park in the town of Bainbridge this year. The pulling track is located by the river behind the baseball fields. We will be having our stoneboat pull and transfer sled pulls. This is for stock tractors with classes from 3500 all the way up to 9500 lbs. Rules can be found on our page. Or you can reach out to Matt. He is the one behind all of this. We look forward to see you all whether it be as a puller, a helper, or just an on looker seeing what we are about. We may even have a few exhibition hooks with some āenhancedā tractors as well. Registration is open at 8 and we hope to be pulling by 930.

Had a great weekend even with a few mishaps that had happened throughout the day. Plows came unhooked, tractors got stuck, tractors ran out of gas, and a few even broke. We all had a great time though. Saturday had 16 or 17 tractors. Sunday had a few is all, the weather deterred people. Even with all that we were were able to cover 20 or so acres on Saturday and 10 or so on Sunday. We want to thank everyone that came to participate and watch, Austin Farm Enterprises for their donation of the hamburger for lunch, and those that brought side dishes as well. We also want to thank Southtown Dairy for the use of the ground. We look forward to seeing everyone at the next plow day.

Preserving Farming Heritage
Tired Iron has grown and expanded since their founding members wanted to enjoy their antique tractors together in 2008. An average of 100 members, from 5 counties, now participate in 14 events throughout the season.
After our incorporation in 2015, we received our non-profit status that would allow us to positively impact our communities. Over the past few years we have supported to such causes as St Judes Childrens Hospital, Intrepid Fallen Heros and Oneida Cancer Healthcare; just to name a few. Periodically, our communities will give back by donating antique farm equipment. Being mostly farmers with personal memories of the equipment, it doesnāt take long for our members to get it working and out for demonstration at our events.
Our members enjoy a family atmosphere where all are welcome and helped if need be. We welcome interaction with the public and enjoy sharing our stories. Members are committed and hardworking because they love their āfarming heritageā.
