Farming is just a “hobby” for Andrew Fox of Newmanstown, Pa. But his hobby has made him lots of friends with nice tractors.
Once a year, he and his group of friends get together at his small farm and bring their nicest tractors, from old John Deere models to classic Massey Harris tractors, for a little reunion of sorts. After a little lunch or dinner, the riders hop aboard their tractors and take a trip through the adjacent Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area, enjoying nature and the sweet sounds of summer.
Look through the slideshow to see some of the tractors that were brought to Andrew Fox’s place this year.
