CCAMA Videos The Cedar Livestock Festival 2019


A beautiful Day at the Cedar Livestock Festival.



It was a beautiful day for a great CCAMA event with lots of  vintage tractors and expert drivers. There were a few first timers and they did real good.This event features draft horse and tractor pulls one after the other.



The videos were took from the grandstand. While watching these videos you may get a feel of what it must look like to the audience. 



Dannie Farley is about to pull this 1946 Farmall A. Her family Danny Oldroyd and Dale Brady is right there for support and encouragement.

Cotton Days Field Trip 2019 - CCAMA More Then Tractors

Leroy Brady and Danny Oldroid effectively demonstrate how to process corn and wheat and even par apples with vintage machinery.


Color Country Antique Machinery Association Volunteers

As spectators at the CCAMA events, we see the rugged exterior of men and women who drive these tractors. The more I photograph and interview these CCAMA members the more I see their humanity. The more I attend the CCAMA events,  meetings, potlucks, caravans, and parades, the more I learn.

The Cotton Days Field Trip in Washington, Utah, was no different. I left a changed person. Volunteers from CCAMA demonstrated nothing less than humanness, patience, and kindness, while sharing and shedding light on what it was like when the city of Washington began. They manned their stations prepared with visuals and hands on projects and artifacts. They spoke clearly, slowly, and gently. They added their own sense of humor and drama.

The volunteers showed the children how to grind corn and wheat, how to pare an apple with one turn of a handle, what ranchers used out on the prairies to keep the snakes from crawling into their sleeping bag, how to plant cotton, how to make a fire,  how to make sorghum molasses and even had a sample of real sorghum molasses drizzled on cookies which tasted so delicious, like nothing you could buy at a regular grocery store.  There was a wonderful discussion on what it was like to live back in those days and how it compares to life today. I saw children lifting a hand cart to get the feel of how strong you needed to be to handle one of those carts, I saw women dressed in their long pioneer dresses showing the old time washboards, and the many kitchen aide gadgets from long ago all of which were laid out on cow hides.

Rosie Kirkland puts her heart and soul into this event 

Each presenter did their presentation for 7 minutes, for 14 groups !, After the 7 minutes a horn blew and the groups departed to the next station.  That includes the ice cream station. Volunteers scooped and served hundreds of ice creams in cups to groups of 20-30+ coming from a presentation.

The Ice Cream Stand with some CCAMA members Paul Moen and Rosemary Christensen.

The whole event was a buzz of color, sound, laughter, smiles with sweet chorals of  "THANK YOU ! " from the children after each presentation. It was rhythmic and timely. Beautifully organized.

See for yourself. I photographed and shot highlights of this event. If you have not yet seen this side of CCAMA then you are in for a treat ! Watch video here.

Women on Tractors-Rosemary Christensen


Rosemary Christensen Pulling with her 1952 MTA Farmall.
Photo by Bill DeSilva

I so enyoyed interviewing, Rosemary. It was during the Iron County Fair while the tractor pulls were going on. We went out behind the grandstands and found a table to sit at. 


That look of Rosemarie's. She is so positive and focused. Photo by Bill DeSilva

I asked her how she got started driving tractors. Here is what she told me.


I was first inspired by my husband, David and my two son-in-laws. David's family used a little Farmall A on their farm in Salem, Utah when he was a kid.
When David and I were married in 2006 we bought a vintage 1952 Super MTA Farmall that someone restored mechanically.
  Red Salisbury, co-founder of CCAMA, and his grandaughter, stepped in to teach me how to drive the tractor and encouraged me to,  "keep on going."
Between 2001 and 2006, I would never have imagined my marriage to David, driving the tractor, and the life I have now.

Women on Tractors June Salisbury

During my first event as a CCAMA Member, my jaw dropped when I saw women driving the tractors. I was in awe of these women ! It is unique to see a woman on a tractor pulling a sled at an event. Just do some research on Google. Put in the search "women on tractors" Do you know what you will see? You will see beautiful women posed in front, on, or across the tractor. In this club we have beautiful, strong, and capable women who know how to drive a tractor and compete in tractor pulls with the men. So I asked them, How did you get started driving tractors?

June Salibury has written the following:

June Salibury, one of the founders of CCAMA, on her Case VAC "TUFFY"
 at the CCAMA Tractor Pull,
 Kanab, Utah  9-2013

Tractors and Antique Machinery started for me in 1995.
We went to our first antique machinery show and tractor pull in South Jordan where the Utah Antique Machinery Assn was holding their annual event.  I could tell it was really love at first sight for Red and I made a decision right there to learn to like tractors, or I would be left at home.  This event was very enjoyable and educational. During the next year Red and our son Phil bought 2 tractors and started to restore them and get them ready to pull. When 1996 rolled around and it was time to go to the UAMA event we took one tractor, the 1947 Case LAI.  While they were involved in pulling and hanging with the guys, I went over to the antique machinery show where they were auctioning off a Case VAC tractor. I bought that tractor and I still pull it today. It was previously owned by a church and used only to mow weeds.  It was kept in great shape and with a bit of care it was ready to go to the pulls in 1997.  From that point on I have taken “TUFFY” to every tractor pull possible.  

June on the Minneapolis Moline U Diesel
Cedar Livestock Festival 2013

In about 2005 I decided I wanted a bigger tractor so I bought the Minneapolis Moline U Diesel.  After many years to restore it and tons of money it is now known as the “MONEY PIT” and I hate pulling that bigger tractor, so Red has a new tractor to pull.

In 2000 there was a small group of tractor enthusiasts in Southern Utah, so we got together and decided to start our own branch of EDGE&TA.   With Red as the President and Me as the Secretary we got our start. We also had to include everyone that worked for us and most of our family members to get the 25 members required to start a branch. The rest you might say is history. We put on our first pull and recruited many more interested people. Each year more and more members came out to pull.  Because we started with several husband and wife teams pulling that trend continued in our club to this day.  It has really held our club together because pulling tractors has become a family event.


We have traveled all over the west buying antique tractors and farm equipment.  We have made many friends across the west at tractor shows and events. This has been a fun hobby.

Iron County Fair Parade 2018


I drove to Parowan and took photos of our members lined up for the parade. It was a beautiful day. 

This adorable boy is sitting a Hansen Allis Chalmer's
before the parade.  

After taking pictures, I walked out onto the parade route where the crowds were gathering. I found a nice tree to stand near and waited for the tractors to make their appearance. After all the horses, bands, and cloggers went by, I heard the rumbling of engines and spotted the Allis Chalmers orange of Sherian's tractor. I caught CCAMA in full on video.

Here is the link for the shared album on Google Photos. You will see the photos before the parade and the video of CCAMA in the parade

June,
Could you please send out to everyone.

We have been instructed to park our tractors at the fairgrounds in the triangular field bordered on the west by N 3rd east st and on the south by Clinic Way.
The east end is marked by traffic cones and four big rocks. All tractors should be west of that point.
This is about 100 yards west of where we normally park so we’re going to be jammed up a bit. In order to have room left to park our trucks and trailers we may have to make two rows of tractors .
So much as possible please try to not waste space and leave as much room as possible for others.

Billy

CCAMA Caravan 2017 Photos

The tractor caravan pulled over after I took the first video. 
Riding in the tractor caravan on a wagon pulled by an Allis Chalmers has always been such fun. I love the slow pace, the wind in my face and the rugged jiggles and bucks of the wagon over the cow catchers. There is time to enjoy the landscapes and let your mind wander.  Taking a picture or a video was a bit shaky though and the view in front and back really did not change much.

This year I took my truck and followed the route of the caravan and took photos and video as they came rumbling up the Minersville Highway.  I stopped several times along the way pulling over to the side of the highway. I would get out of the truck hook my keys to my belt loops, grab my camera, and wait for the sound of the tractor engines. Many times I could hear them before I could see them. I love that sound. After they passed all was quiet. I could hear was the resonance of the earth and the denizens of the valley. 

My first stop was Minersville Highway at Mid Valley Road. I pulled over, got out, and walked around the corner onto the highway to see if they were coming yet. Way off in the distance I could see the flashing yellow lights of the two volunteer sheriff trucks which led the tractors and also brought up the rear. I had time to find my place along the highway and found that the marker stakes made a really good tripod. There was a field of alfalfa and wild sunflowers and the sound of the water spraying over the fields. 

CCAMA Tractor Caravan on Minersville Highway.
As they crossed the intersection they all pulled over. I passed them in my truck and drove to another place by a very picturesque abandoned farm with a rock fence bordering the property (see photo above).

My favorite photos are of the caravan approaching the Parowan Gap. 

You can enjoy all the Caravan photos I took here on this link  https://goo.gl/photos/7zprkxRKjZHetWkz8

Vintage Tractor Caravan To The Sheep Parade


Vintage tractor caravan to Main St for the sheep parade in Cedar City, Utah
The tractors were lined up at the Diamond Arena in Cedar City and the flags on our tractors were waving in the breezes.

I rode tandem on my husband's Allis Chalmers while making this caravan video to Main St. There is nothing like being in a tractor caravan with the roar of the engines, the morning sun spilling over the mountain and the sight of rabbit bush on the side of the road luminous with sunlight.

I had always stayed back and photographed from the curb but this time I got to ride in the Sheep Parade.

Here is the link to the video.
