Many people who visit Midwest Old Threshers have never experienced life on a farm. What was once a common way of life is now a memory only for older visitors. Making its debut at the 2001 Reunion, the exhibit features tractors that have been modified with a kill switch and low-throttle speed and gears. Visitors of all ages can feel what it is like behind the wheel of a tractor. The safety person riding with each visitor can easily reach the kill switch, master clutch, and handbrake, making it a fun and safe experience.
This exhibit is Free to do!
