Many of these names are recent, but from the old legendary brands we could be displaying a big range of tractors, hay, harvesting and other pieces of farming history.

The museums recent rallies have been celebrating anniversaries but did you know that this year AGCO celebrates 35 years? Could we organise thirty five machines to celebrate the AGCO anniversary?

This rally will feature the legendary brands that have been lost into the modern AGCO company. From the famous names of Allis Chalmers, Ferguson, Massey Harris to the lesser known Hart Parr, Deutz, Oliver brands. There will be tractors, harvesting, hay and industrial pieces of our mechanical past to be seen.

WE MADE IT - 100 CATS FOR 100 YEARS

A total of 105 Caterpillar machines attended the Hamilton Pastoral Museum's May Rally over the weekend. While we hoped for 100 machines with the Caterpillar brand, but we were not sure we would achieve it.

Thank you to our exhibitors who made it all possible, and made the Grand Parade a memorable event for all the spectators who came to see the Cats in action.
