Anybody going to Portlands summer show?

The show site also has a list of campgrounds.

Also just hit me that the Ft Recovery NTPA national tractor pulls are the same weekend as Portland. Its a straight shot over to the pulls from portland so you could hit both one day.

Unless they've lightened up on it a little, which I doubt, the only time you're allowed to drive a tractor at the show is when you drive it in to the display area and when you drive it out at the end of the show.
You have to walk at Portland.

Jim they were driving every manner of contraption in Portland's spring swap meet. Why should the August one be any different??

Maybe they've lightened up, but they never used to let you drive anything, unless you were driving it in to park it or driving it out.

I know I saw golf carts, three wheel sulkies....kids on ATV's...you name it.
I saw a lot of the golf carts coming from the parking lot across the street.
People had trailered them in.

Might be worth a call or email to nail down expectations.

Mike, At the spring and Fall swap meets they do let you run anything. But August is the show and at that they dont let you drive much anything. I do think you can haul something in the swap meet area. Guess your right it might be best to call them up or email and ask what the rules are this year. Ive heard to many stories about it to know whats true. whtractor/dunno.gif

Now I'm new, but only to wheel horse tractors....Last I checked Portland is the Gathering of the ORANGE whtractor/huh.gif

. Hopefully I'll be there with an Allis or Simplicity.

Still like my new (to me), freebie wheelhorse!

Yep Portland is the Gathering of Orange. Sold the old 41 C and 52 CA but Im still an Allis man when it comes to the big antique tractors. But did always want a 720 or 9020 powrmax though. They look so much like the big 160 AC tractors wasnt it . whtractor/thumbsup.gif

There's a 616 in New Jersey, Nick.
Seems a little over-priced, but it's of that similar design as the One-Eighty / One-Ninety big tractors too. whtractor/thumbsup.gif

Yea TT those big AC/simplicity tractors are always a bit high. Thats a big reason why I dont have one. Ive just never looked into parts, with WH I know it can be found new or used without much hassle but not so sure on those Simplicty tractors. whtractor/dunno.gif
