ery. One of the largest displays of machinery came from Roche Farms in Rosser, MB. Bruce Roche says that his family started collecting about 15 years ago, starting locally before seeking out rare and different tractors, including tractors from different parts of the United States. The family brought out about 15 pieces, from a garden tractor to bigger models. He says it took three trips to get the whole group to the show. Roche says that the collection started with his greatgrandfather, whose first tractor was an M model. “We got bit by the IH bug, so to speak.” The family looks for tractors with clean and straight sheetmetal, ideally looking for machines that are in good shape and won’t require too

much bodywork or new rubber, Roche says. One of the highlights of the collection is a 1947 road patrol model. Roche says that they’re not sure how many there are in the world, but that it’s a very rare model they found in Oklahoma. “In this case, Farmall supplied the tractor, Contractors Machinery supplied the grader, and joined them together,” Roche explains. He says they’ve got pretty much all the tractor models covered, but they were talking about getting a truck to complete the collection. It was a busy weekend overall, but Roche says that he appreciated the warm Yorkton welcome and that he also hopes to keep showing with the IHC into the future. Continued on Page 6.
