Thanks for posting this, Mark. Viewers can see how much work it is to get all these tractors lined up and connected.. And I am glad I finally got to meet you. Erv Troyer
Saw this at Doughty Valley this year. Wasn't quite as successful, but fun. Looks like it may have been some of the same guys. How many Hp did they make? I'm thinking we should try for this show sometime.
Okay, I have never seen a bunch of tractors belted together like this. I take it they were all hooked to a dyno or prony brake to read total horsepower? That would be the unit on blue skids visible on the left at 12:50, then. What was the total?
Lagrange is in the middle of the second largest Amish Community in the country. I know many of these people; several of them are my neighbors. I have heard it said that there are 27 Rumely tractors in Lagrange County and 25 are owned by Amish people. I am Erv Troyer, one of the officers of this Association.
