Last weekend was Delta’s annual celebration—Deltarado Days. It was also Terry’s 50th class reunion
After the parade in the morning was the
170% of the tractor’s weight! That little 530 John Deere weighs 5,300 pounds.
It was so miserably hot it was hard to enjoy this event. Although, I had an umbrella it still felt like a cooked hot dog when we finally left.

I always wonder why they don’t hold these event right after planting has taken place for most folks—would be way cooler to do it in early summer, than now. Glad y’all had fun though.

Awesome! We love the old tractor pulls! We are not John Deere folks but we do love the old Put Put tractors as we call the old JD’s! We used to have a JD-B that we restored. We would love to get a JD-R some day! Have a great day.

We had our 50th reunion 3 years ago. It was great fun. So, congratulations to Terry. I hope that he enjoyed getting together with his friends from high school.

Linda, Just read your comment on “Just Another Day on the Prairie” so sorry about your son-in-law. Will keep you in my prayers.
On a lighter note—that 530 sure looks in better shape than our 630. Of course today our 630 is spraying weeds and that’s one of its lighter weight jobs. My brother-in-law loves to use the 630 for anything he can.

Hi Linda, I celebrated my 50th class reunion a couple of years ago –since I graduated from high school in 1960…. I didn’t get to the reunion –but was sorry I missed it..
Terry is good at those tractor pulls, isn’t he??? Did he win????
Yes—I’ll bet that you were HOT —even under an umbrella.
Hugs,

Events like this make things go around.
These smaller JD’s are deceivingly strong and are getting OLD!

Looks like fun, and I think everyone is feeling the same as you do. The heat is unbearable.

It sounds as if it was a fun day even if it was so dog-gone hot.
