• FEATURING: Ford FW-30, a Blue Cougar. Go big or go home. That seemed to be the philosophy of the major tractor manufacturers of the 1970s. The solution for those that didn't offer a big tractor was to outsource production of a large machine to someone else in order to keep up with the rest. Ford worked out a deal with Steiger to build four different models that would be painted Ford Blue. Feature tractor owner: Jerry McGee Family - Longview, IL.

• The Uni-System: Multi Use Machines. Machines with multiple uses have always attracted attention. Those machines usually imply increased usage and reduced costs, which appeals to everyone. Uni-Tractor, Uni-Combine, and more.

• Machinery Milestones: The tractor scene from 30, 40, and 50 years ago.

• International Harvester 3788 Series Tractor: Because 2 + 2 = MORE. In 1979, IH revealed their third great design of the 20th Century. This third great tractor didn't look much like any other kind of tractor, and it didn't perform like the others, either. Tractor owned by: Meyer Family Farms - Shorewood, IL.

• Museums: Waterloo and John Deere History Merge. The John Deere Tractor & Engine Museum.
