Vintage machine event popular

A parade of vintage farm machinery through Palmerston on Saturday comprised about 50 machines.

Tractors, harvesters, balers, veteran trucks and cars were all represented. The parade was led by Palmerston farmer and East Otago Vintage machinery club member Noel Sheat.

The club's working weekend is held every second year at Easter, and support for the weekend from vintage machinery enthusiasts was very good, Mr Sheat said. The weekend began with a tractor trek on Friday and an open day at the club's display building and workshops at Mill domain, Palmerston.

It concluded with a vintage threshing and harvesting equipment demonstration on a Bushey farm near Palmerston on Saturday.
