SZALAWIGA TRACTOR DRIVE - RECAPPING JULY 19TH, 2026

This year’s Szalawiga Tractor Drive took place on Sunday, July 19th, after poor weather forced a postponement from the original date of July 18th. Thank you to everyone who came out despite the change in plans!
This year’s route wound through Pelmo Park, Osaca, Starkville, Newtonville, Zion, and Port Britain, with plenty of curious onlookers along the way.
The drive wasn’t entirely without its hiccups: one tractor needed a pull-start after a low battery, and another was towed back to home base (thankfully just three miles away) after overheating. Both drivers were good sports about it! The day wrapped up with a BBQ hosted by Barry and no shortage of stories to go around!

Twelve tractors took part in this year’s drive, representing a great mix:
•Allis-Chalmers - 5
•John Deere - 2
•Farmall - 1
•Oliver - 1
•Cockshutt - 1
•Case - 1
•David Brown - 1

Many thanks to Michael and Myron Szalawiga for organizing, and to Barry Adamson for hosting the BBQ. Consider this your invitation to join in on next year’s drive!
