Deadline to register is July 15, 2012</font>

Here's hoping that some who do participate will post some photos or video links to youtube afterward! Sounds like a really fun event that should abound with great tractors.

So how many tractors will it take to get the record as it will take more than one line around the tract as that would only be 1/2 mile line correct.

The minimum will be a 2 mile route

Might go except Max Armstrong is a real A**h*** and if yor tractor isn't up to his standards, you are doomed to his crass comments. So why did they get this jerk involved?

Please keep your voices down in case too many people hear about this in Ireland, over 3000 tractors at the last World record ploughing challenge! Don't encourage us to do another one, at the moment a club is trying to get the most forage harvesters together!
All for good causes of course.....Sam

I thought Max was a nice guy. He took time out to have his picture taken with me at Columbia. It don't bother me what he says about my tractor.

"tractors must be 30 years or older." Hmmm thats a 1982. 1982 is a new tractor to me.

When something you think is new is considered a classic... Does this mean I am officially getting old????

> "tractors must be 30 years or older." Hmmm thats a 1982.

My newest tractor is a 1983. I guess that means I'm not farming completely with antiques (for a few months, anyway).

We had 820 antique tractors parade and cross the Mackinaw Bridge in Michigan 2010. It was the fourth year for the crossing, and this year, (Sept 14th), it looks like there will be more.

Yea the guy is annoying as all get out never leaves a Butt unkissed though.

Wouldn't it be neat if Max got on here to say "yeh, I resemble that statement".

Going and hope that other will too. I guess you can bring a lawn tractor that is built prior to 1982 as well and it will count towards the numbers. That was just sent to me yesterday by RFD.

RFD-TV is overjoyed to announce that there will be Classic Tractors joining us from 31 states and traveling distances of 600, 800 and over 1,000 miles to be a part of history and help the United States command the World Record for the “Largest Parade of Classic tractors”.
