THANKS GUYS

Mick M. FANTASTIC!!!! Weather permitting count me as being there. I'm hoping to have at least two Cub Cadets along with. One extra in case someone wants to plow but doesn't have a Cub Cadet. I'd like to have three but I'm pretty sure time won't allow me.

Additional information (from Travis)

....as far as I know (I just talked to Travis tonight), Travis is hosting, just like the old days......same schedule, same set up, same everything.

Thanks, it's true, I'm having plow day again. Most everything is the same as it has been in the past.

Rockford Fire Dept will be serving food for a fundraiser.

There is a Facebook Page set up with all the info (Rockford Iowa Plow Day) or feel free to post here.

All brands are welcome

The best choices for hotels will be Mason City or Charles City


Caleb, thanks for the plug, but I am the host of the event, same as years past

Travis,
Having only been in this hobby now for several years, Is this the BIG ONE I have heard about??
When was the last one you held??
Any room for a truck camper to park overnight??

 

[tschweizer]

We usually had a fairly good turnout, yes. Hopefully someone has some pictures of the event. There is 22 Acres of grass to park on and you are more than welcome to camp overnight. Just know that it is pasture ground and beware for the steaming pies

The last one I had was in 2010

 

[dschwandt]

Thanks Travis.
That was 2 years before I retired off the road.

I will plan to be there, weather permitting.

Travis,

David, PD11 that Travis hosted back in 2009 was the big one.

That's Travis leading with his Turbo Diesel followed by "Big" Steve Blunier:

Hope everyone can make this great plow day!

Found some old pic’s taken on April 8, 2006 at Rockford, the first PD I had been too.

Then there was the "snow plowing" day at Travis's......

I opened the field plowing through 2" of snow in spots with my 582 that Friday afternoon.....

.....When most of the JD guys wouldn't even take their tractors off the trailers....man was that a fun weekend!!!!!

Kids even made a snowman in the fence row!!!

 

[bbranstetter]

I've got pictures of that snowman some where.....

 

[kmcconaughey]

Brian, I've got some photos of the snowman as well on my PC at home. I'll try to remember to post them when I get home this evening.

 

[mgault]

Here's the snowman!
