Their Coming From Down Under

A group of Chamberlain tractor enthusiasts from Australia are traveling across the US, driving their tractors, and will be passing through Penfield to visit Historic Farm Days on their journey.

The Chamberlain brand originated in Australia, enjoyed fair success in the marketplace, and in 1970, John Deere purchased a significant stake in the company, eventually making it a wholly owned subsidiary, as the name changed to Chamberlain John Deere . As time passed, transmission and engine technology from John Deere was incorporated into the designs. Around 1990, the Chamberlain name disappeared into history.

Win This Tractor

Some lucky winner will be driving a beautifully restored 1948 Allis Chalmers G home after the show. Tickets are $1.00 each, or 6 for $5.00.
