Farmall land usa

Well it was on my list to go visit anyway but this year they're closing at the end of the season so I guess I tripped the Omaha AKA shameless country is in order. I've heard it's a pretty cool museum even if you don't like red tractors didn't hear why they're closing but I think they're getting up there in age so running a full-time museum is probably a lot of work. Anyone here been to it ?

that was my thoughts exactly LOL I messaged him yesterday so he's got plenty of time to head for the hills before we get there

Visiting there this year moved way up my list when I read it is closing after this year.

Lot of rare ducks in there I'm sure it won't go cheap but definitely a once in a lifetime buy and it's a fairly popular attraction so maybe you'll make your money back

My Son , Father and I where out at Farmall Land in 2004  ,spent a week out in the mid West. Stopped at Haymakers show on the way home . One of the many good trips I had in mid west doing shows .

I've been there several times Know the owner real well, He's been a member of our tractor club, Elkhorn Valley Antique Power Association. Jerry Mez. It is an outstanding display. It is a shock to hear. He said his kids never were interested in the museum. Local people volunteered to work there. On a side note there was an F-20 with oversized rear wheels, maybe 10-12 foot in diameter setting in a field where hwy 13 runs into Rt 20 (in Nebraska that crosses the U.S.). I Had thought it was unusual so I had taken pictures of it in 1970. two years ago it was restored and sold to Jerry, and is in the museum. The rest of the story is that it was used to double crop wheat between corn, with two small grain drills that ran between the corn rows. He has a lot of unusual tractors and has had in the past the 5 millionth IH, a dual 400 that someone was making up in Washington, that they only made two of. The chain drive between them weighed 5,000 lbs, which made the tractor weigh 15,000 lbs. which made it to heavy.

I talked about this with a friend today and he said they went there with a bus tour a couple years ago and it was a very good collection. He also said there was someone with an AC collection near there but he didn't remember a name.  Does anybody know who that might be.

Royal Bierbaum in Griswald Ia. (712) 778-2586 South of Farmalland . He is usually open on Fathers day, and I am not sure the other times. The Griswald area has 2 or 3 tractor museums, Rush's IH just north of the Allis museum on main st., Another that collects JD L tractors and possibly a Ford one, not sure on the Ford one any more.

Kinze is an first class show also. They have a tram that they take you threw the manufacturing plant and have individual head phones so you can hear what the leader is saying. But the best part is if you can finagle a tour threw his private collection and see rows of tractors and in some barns he has tractors stored double decker. This man made a JD 720 or 730 into a 4 cylinder, buy sliding the engine over and welding another crankshaft in line to make it work. He starts it up and it purrs like a real tractor. Then there is the story how JD sued him and JD lost. Read his book.
