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.

WE HAD A GREAT EVENT ! 
YOU ALL LOOK SO GOOD OUT THERE.

Did you have a good time? The weather was perfect, beautiful blue skies with wispy clouds. Look how Bill Desilva captured the sky and the tractors at the Diamond Arena in this photo he took.

There are many people who make this event a success. Let us give a hand for these ladies who keep this event running smoothly as you are all weighing in and pulling your tractors. I saw them from across the arena and I just had to get a picture of them. I shuffled through the dirt weaving in and out of draft horses and tractors and made my way to their table where they perform their wonders.

Donna DeSilva, Rosie Kirkland, and Rosemary Christensen

This is a job not many people can do. It requires focus and constant attention to details. They keep track of your pulls, and fill out your ribbons, and keep it all organized in everyway possible.  And on top of all that, they manage to stand in for each other to pull their tractors! Amazing. 

I enjoyed photographing you all and have quite a few videos. You can see the first batch of photographs I have uploaded on the Cedar Livestock Festival 2018 CCAMA album right here at  Google Photos.

CCAMA Iron County Fair Parade 2018

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

Iron County Fair Tractor Pull Awards 2018

Hello  Everyone !

The Tractor Pulls were a success ! The stormy weather and rains passed. The track and pulls were smooth as silk. 

I would like to share a few pictures with you in this post. Mind you, I took pictures of all the participants and plan to put them in a shared album on Google for all to see. 

First off, I would like to present our youngest participant, Nicholas Hall. He is or going to be 12 years old this year. You may want to read all about his first time pulling back in April 2017 at the Test and Tune. He was 10 years old.  To read about Nicholas, click on this link ( the underlined blue type) 
Nicholas Hall First Time Driver April 26, 2017
https://ccama.blogspot.com/2017/04/first-time-driver-test-2017.html

Here is a recent photo of Nicholas with his trophy from Monday night at the Iron County Fair. He and his father, Andrew Hall drove their 1948 Case LA in the 7500-8000 lbs Class and Nicholas went the farthest. Well this picture speaks for itself. 

Nicholas Hall hold his first place trophy.

Rosemary Christensen caught my eye with her wheels off the track 3 times at the end of her pull. She has that big shiny red 1958 Farmall 450. Here is her picture.

Kip Hansen passed the baton, I mean microphone, to my husband, Paul Moen after his last pull. Though Paul looked a bit faint at first, once he got the mic, he was a natural.

Kip Hansen asks Paul Moen to take over the microphone. 

Sheridan Hansen turned 84 today September 5, Happy Birthday !!! Here is a picture of him during one of his pulls, Monday.

A Rich History Remembered: CCAMA Vintage Tractor Caravan

CCAMA spnsored vintage tractor caravan,
Labor Day Weekend.
Going over the Summit, Utah overpass.

The caravan of vintage tractors traveled along Old Highway 91 from Cedar City, Utah to Lyon's Park in Parowan under clear blue skies. Some hats blew off along the way but were quickly retrieved. It was a great ride ! 

The vintage tractor caravan rolled along
Old Highway 91.

Imagine driving 7 mph down a highway. 

Enjoying the wild sunflowers along the roadside.

Taking in the scent of summer grasses and shrubs.

Studying the variegated blues of distant mountains.

Hearing the American flags flapping in the breezes,the rumbling of the vintage tractors...

Time to reflect, inspired to dream a bit, and perhaps moved to appreciate your life. 


Sheridan Hansen, our caravan organizer, said something at our break in Summit, Utah that I had not thought of before.  By doing the caravan we remember our predecessors who drove and worked on these tractors back in the 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, and 70's. and keep it alive for people in the future to enjoy. 
It made me look deeper into the history of the farm tractor.

The farm tractor is one of the most important and easily recognizable technological components of modern agriculture in the United States. Its development in the first half of the twentieth century fundamentally changed the nature of farm work, significantly altered the structure of rural America, and freed up millions of workers to be absorbed into the rapidly growing manufacturing and service sectors of the country. The tractor represents an important application of the internal combustion engine, rivaling the automobile and the truck in its economic impact.

A tractor is basically a machine that provides machine power for performing agricultural tasks. Tractors can be used to pull a variety of farm implements for plowing, planting, cultivating, fertilizing, and harvesting crops, and can also be used for hauling materials and personal transportation. In the provision of motive power, tractors were a replacement for human effort and that of draft animals, both of which are still used extensively in other parts of the world. You can read more here: Economic History of Tractors in the United States
William J. White, Research Triangle Institute

At a time when farms are out of sight and out of mind for most people in the US, it makes events like this caravan very important to educate and inspire children and adults who would otherwise never know where their food comes from. there is also the being outdoors and puting your hands in the soil and on and on I could go. 

Not only is the caravan fun but doing this will keep a rich history of these tractors and the people who drove them alive.

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
