Red Power Roundup 2023 Day 1: Getting the Lay of the Land 

Pete, thank you from "your #1 fan's" mom. Elise was very excited to meet you and she is normally not that shy! 😂 She loves that she's in your video and I'm sure we'll be watching it many times!

Fun fact: I helped restore that F20 in the opening of the video, it was restored by the Four Rivers Career Center Night Shift program from Washington Missouri. When they got the tractor it came to them in boxes and pieces. It took about 3 years to complete the restoration and it was finished just a few months ago. Best part is it is still owned by the original family. Awesome to see it in Pete’s video!

That sweet little girl being your #1 fan and hoping to see you just warms my heart. So adorable.

Interesting and I had fun. Thank you for the tour and I hope you had a good evening.

best part of the video was :Pete's NO 1 fan:

Thanks Pete for taking us with you.

Oh Pete!!! ❤❤ The sparkle in your eyes said it ALL!! You're like a kid in a candy store. So glad to see you enjoying yourself.

Thankyou from a viewer in East Central illinois. Was just up north of auburn ny with a farmer friend.

Pete you are the best! It was great meeting you at Red Power! You took the time to talk with me when all I hoped for was a "hi" and a handshake. Thank you for all that you do!

The world may be moving on, but we're bringing these tractors with us.

Pete this is a fabulous episode, it’s so interesting seeing the different models and hearing the history of the brand. Thank you so much for,a, taking the time to take the footage and ,b, taking the time to create a great episode. I say this because this trip is a break/vacation for you, time for you to chill. I truly hope that you had a great time at this event. I’m eagerly awaiting the next episode. All the best buddy 🇬🇧💙

Pete, I actually got teary eyed watching this w you. There’s a little dispute, I’m your #1 Fan, but I will share with that little girl. You have made quite the impression on her. Someday, she’s gonna have “Just a few Acres” just like you!

Pete , you could tell just how happy you were at the show. For someone with your knowledge you were in seventh heaven. Thanks for sharing your experience there. It’s very much appreciated and enjoyed. Take care and stay safe.

A little part of American history that helped feed a lot of people with American ingenuity in a time of plenty and world wars. You can feel the history just by looking at these beauties.

Hey Pete I thought you might think this is a cool story. In 1937 my great grandfather bought a Farmall F20 which he farmed with for many years. In fact it was the first rubber wheeled tractor in that county. Anyways he later gave it too my uncle which later restored it and it’s still in our family to this day.

Pete, we are totally living vicariously through you. Enjoy all those beautiful red tractors. Keep us in the know.

I was smiling ear to ear during the entire video!

I can see how you were in tractor heaven for 3 days! Have fun! Thank you for sharing it with us! Prayers for health and safety!🙏❤🙏

I have to tell you, the sound of the Farmall is very distinctive. Each time I hear one of the old Farmall tractors I can close my eyes and see my Grandfather. When I was about three years old, about 72 years ago, he would sit me on his knee while he harrowed. The sound of that "H" is burned into my brain.

It was great to meet you on Day 3 of the event! We appreciate your time and we loved the roundup!

It was great meeting you and hope you had a great time. My wife is glad we went to the show (she had more fun than she wants to admit)

Nothing I could say here hasn't already been said. So thanks so very much for all of your efforts 'n sharing this event. Really appreciate it. Trust you had a great Father's Day also. Blessings! 👍👍 🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸

Pete.... you look so happy. I hope that you have a great time while you are at the convention!

Pete, isn't it great to find the true passion in one's life. As you walk through those buildings it's like you're opening Christmas gifts as a young man. Let's all find our true calling.

Thanks so very kindly Pete for sharing this with us 😊

I know you probably won't see this comment, but thank you for filming this show. I hope to be able to go to one someday.

What a show, thank you so much for taking us.

Hi Pete, thanks for bringing us along.

Awesome video…

All I can say is that this is a great, Great, GREAT country!

Fantastic video again and no Green anywhere. Great to know that people are keeping the old tractor going. Keep up the fantastic videos looking forward to more videos

I love your interaction with the other attendees!

The Red Power Roundup is an awesome show!!. I really enjoyed the Bloomsburg PA Red Power Roundup in 2019 and the Red Power Showdown in Bloomsburg PA in 2014...

Pete - I don't think I've ever seen you so happy. You looked like a kid in a candy store. I'm glad you have so many fans that stopped to see you. The one little girl with her shirt "Pete's #1 Fan". Enjoy the show and we'll see you back soon.

I enjoyed meeting you and your Farm Focus rep. Look forward to seeing you at Red Power Round Up 2024 in Spencer, Iowa. June 20-23.

A big thankyou to you for sharing this great show. A great big thank you to Hillary and your kids for taking up the work so you could go and enjoy this.

I never knew I loved tractors so much ! 😂

Brings back memories. The antique tractor club I belong to in Michigan hosted Red Power Roundup in 1998. We had roughly 2000 red tractors on the show ground. It obviously has grown in the intervening years.

Happy you talked to your fans. You have a wonderful personality. Imagine you have a 9 yr. Fan she wanted your autograph wow. Those viewers made you happy. I can't stop thinking of your wife riding that pig backwards. You are an amazing family. Good people.❤❤❤❤❤❤

Gentle and Thorough as the Day Grows Long !

Thank you thank you thank you Pete for taking us along to see the red Power Roundup for the folks that have never been to one it may never have the chance to go to one and no matter what video you're making Pete it is always educational!

That was very interesting. The history was so great. Thanks for bring us along.😊

Id love a trip like that! Maybe next year!

It was nice to meat you hope you have a good weekend

Thank you so much Pete for sharing this with me 👍🏾👍🏾❤️

Nothing better than seeing how excited you were in attending this show. Enjoy the sights, sounds and conversations. Looking forward to future videos. Would enjoy seeing a video on the progression of machines and technology

I fancied the beautiful lilac/purple one 😍

Pete, what a great show, the history of RED POWER, a super company that is too bad they are not with us today, except thru Case IH, which is good but yet it's not. International sure produced a lot, not only tractors and implements but trucks and hardware and household goods.Looking forward to more as you share your experiences with us. To bad your Dad was not along, I am sure he would have fallen in love with the show. Go RED POWER.

Pete your passion for the history of Farm Hall trsctors is exciting I love it thank you for bringing it to a video.

Love it. Hope you enjoyed your time away. Thanks for taking us 😂

Really enjoyed the production today. I anticipate the next couple where you come down from the balcony and focus in on the individual tractors. This is so enjoyable.

Pure magic 👍

I really enjoyed walking around with you Pete. Awesome tractors and learned a lot, can't wait to see the rest of the show. Sure worth they wait😊❤🎉.

Wow! wow! WoW! is all I can say. I waited impatiently all week for you to go there and get back and show the video you just did. and I'm in hog heaven. I used to have a 1962 Scout that I did a plow route with here in Western Ma. And spent many an hour on an old Farmall H -Haying mostly. mostly on shares with a lot of local farms. back when I was Dealing in Hay. (did that for about 20 yrs on and off) got to see a lot of farms all around New York, Vt Ma. Ct, and Canada. Just turned 80, and I miss those days. and the farms and farmers. I don't have to tell you what Farm People are like. Thanks for Sharing Pete. can't wait to see more. ECF

I love watching you nerd out. You are in your element at the Red Power Round up.

Hey Pete, when you mentioned max Armstrong it was a blast from the past, I remember when he was the junior farm announcer on WGN out of Chicago, the senior man was orrion Samuelson. I used to get early to listen to the farm report. Brought back some nice memories of being very young. We didn't live on a farm, but grew up among them in northern Illinois.

Oh Pete!! The memories that flood to mind looking at all that equipment. Thank you for going to G.I. and filming this.

Farmers heaven on earth.

Woke up early Saturday and Sunday waiting for this episode . Enjoyed it from beginning to end. I'm looking forward to the rest.

Well Pete, I didn't get to meet ya, or did I get to go, but thank you for going and sharing and being a great RU-vid celebrity to the fans!! You and your family are definitely an inspiration to just what this world needs more of. I really would like to just shake your wife's hands and thank you for being genuinely great ppl. Thank you!

Childhood memories are up again fr.

Three days wouldn’t be enough. Thanks Pete

Thanks for taking us along to the round up. I've been to two roundups in my life. I believe next year it's in my home state of Iowa. So I hope to go because the last time I went, it was in Madison Wisconsin many years ago.

One of my favorite episodes! You look so happy! It was fascinating. I admire the amount of love that's been poured into these machines. But nothing beats how happy you look.

Hey Pete,,,being kind to your fans is cool.

Toddler Shaun was here...and he loved the tour you gave. Thank you for it. Sorry you didn't get as much "you" time. Sounds like you and old tractors have a huge and varied fan club.

Thank you for videoing the show, Pete. I always liked the old school IH tractors from the first ones thru the late 60's thru the 70's before they merged with Case. The new ones are nice too but the old ones are special. However, I grew up on John Deere's. Dad started farming when he came home from Korea in 1953 and he actually farmed with Farmall's until he switched to John Deere in 1964 with a new 4020 Diesel. The last Farmall Dad had was either a 460 or 560 and he said the rear ends or axles kept breaking and so he got fed up and switched to JD. I was born in '58 and so I have a very faint memory of the 460 / 560. I remember all the John Deere's very well though as I was older by then. Take care and thanks again!

What a good egg you are Pete ! Who would go to the trouble to share so much with us like you do ! Thanks buddy from.Michigan ! You bring so much to the table for your viewers. You're awesome ! 👍💯

My kind of place. Red Power everywhere!

WOW! WOW! WOW! .... Great video. Loved seeing all the Tractors. Thanks.

Thanks for allowing us to visit the show with you. Couldn't have gone any other way.

Gosh, Pete, this brought back some great memories. I have commented before that my brother and I had a cast iron Farmall pedal tractor. My brother probably got it in 1953 or 54 and then I inherited it in about 1959 when I was three. But what really struck me was my parents took my brother and me to the North Carolina state fair in 1965. We were getting ready to move from in town out to the country and we could not tear daddy away from all of the farm equipment. And I feel like right now that my dad, who died in 1999 and sitting here with me just going Omai goodness look at that just look at that just look at that. How poignant that we've just gotten through Father's Day and you've helped me connect with him. With tears flowing, Thank You.

I've been looking forward to your video reports from the Red Power Roundup ever since I learned you were going to be in attendance. Thanks for a great first installment. I will look forward to more!

My face is aching! What a grand show! Thanks Pete!

Great video, thanks for taking us along with you on your tour, very interesting and educational, thanks for sharing Pete...👍🍻

Pete's in his element there! The last video in the series needs to be the goodie-bag you came home with of stuff you bought while there.

Pete, we need that Farmall model history vid! I’ve been watching you a lot for the past week. I’m 40 and recently found out I’m sick, so your thoughts about life have really resonated with me. Especially the career stuff. I was an successful engineer for the last 10 years and hated it. Always wanted to be back on the farm, but I guess I can enjoy some retirement restoring my grandpa’s 3020?? Thanks again for keeping me busy during treatment. :)

it was great to meet you Pete. first I saw the selfie stick, then I saw the "just a few acres hat". Thanks for your time. I said say hello to Patty, and you said she probably would just complain!!!

So glad you had such a nice time connecting with your viewers and there was such a great turn out. Looks like you had a wonderful time, Pete. Thank you for sharing it with the rest of your motley crew. :)

Thanks Pete for the tour . I would never have guessed a show like this had a following That large . The history of IH is awesome . Thanks again for the video have a great day

Thanks Pete! You're a great guy for taking us along with you.

enjoy your videos. I'm from Texas. but to old to be traveling to these shows. would have loved it. thanks for covering it for us! looking forward to the rest of them. Have a Great show!

Thanks Pete. I feel like I was there with you ... well almost as just seeing all those tractors would be soooo awesome! Thanks again.

Oh boy I’m excited!! Thank you so much for sharing Peat. It means a lot.

WOW. Just WOW, Pete! You look like a kid in the candy store... Thanks.

Pete, I am so pleased you got to old Red tractor expo. Thanks for letting us accompany you along.

Seeing the experimental models is really something! I've seen that M before somewhere in my travels on RU-vid but it's always nice to know it's still around and being shown.

Thank You for taking me along !!!!!!

Thanks Just a few acres farm, for showing-us all of the IH"S tractor's, old and new.

Incredible show! I can’t imagine seeing that many Farmalls anywhere! Thanks for sharing!

Wow! - So much RED.

Looks like a fun event. I have never owned an IH tractor but my Dad had a Scout. It was in pretty bad shape when he got it. It had been rolled. He had to weld the front differential as it had cracked in the accident and built new shock hangers for the front as well. It had a piece of plywood for the back window. He got it running and drove it for several years as his daily driver. It would go anywhere. In those days he bought what he could get, made it run, and drove it until it wouldn't go anymore. Money was tight.

And a tractor bone yard, too. What a cool video, and we got to meet some fans with good stories. Thanks

8:09 your #1 fan was sure Happy 😊 to meet you! Very nice you signed her shirt!

Beautiful old tractor's

AMAZING!!! Thank you for taking the time to talk to your viewers. We are so excited to meet you. Have fun!
