Who all's farm restores/uses antique farm equipment. Taylor Farms like to restore older Johny poppers and older XX10 and XX20 series tractors. We sell most of them but have saved a few. One of our Favorite pieces is taylor farm's first tractor that wasn't a steam engine. That is the HartParr 60. We pulled it our of a ditch in the 90s. we had to use the panther AND 4960! lol. It has always set in the orchard since we finished restoring it.  Another favorite is the model 60 witch was the first Deere tractor on the farm. (i dont have a pic of it yet) Our latest piece is the 630 with 220 picker we drug out of a land lords ditch. It is heading to the sale today. Tying her down   getting in the truck   Our "in progress" piece, is a 5020 we were lucky enough to get at a retirement sale. The engine had to be overhauled. We are unsure of what to do with it.  |

Cool. Minkler Farms has quite a few 20 series Deeres still working on the farm. They also have quite a few 2 cylinders in the barn. That is where the collection is stored. We kind of have a working collection. The 2510, 4020, 4010, 4320, 4520, 4620, and 7520 still do some work on the farm.

Here are the antiques of Minkler Farms. Some are still working for a living. The 2 cylinder collection lives in the old red barn. Where the dairy was many moons ago.   |

On Merrimac Farms, we buy old junkers and restore them for work on the farm such as pulling wagons, and auger duties.
