The First Weekend of August is the Largest Farm Tractor and Implement Show in Rusk County.
Golat Implement Days - Tractor and Implement Show is inviting all brands of tractors to display and are invited to participate in the field demos, as the show starts each day at 8:00 a.m.
With wide range of community support, the 2018 show had 135 tractors on display and with many implements displayed and demonstrated. Tractor owners were local owners/collectors along with tractors coming from Reedsburg, WI and Duluth, MN. Years of production displayed were from the 20’s to the 80’s. We were fortunate to have displayed the last Allis-Chalmers off the assembly owned by Marilyn Fenetti of Menomonie, WI. Last year’s show was a huge success. Show visitors came from as far as 300+ miles.
This year’s show will be featuring the Allis-Chalmers D12. We are celebrating 60 years of the D12, which replaced the Allis-Chalmers model CA in 1959. During the 10-year manufacturing run only 4,070 D12's from 1959 to 1968. The D12 had a 138 cubic-inch, four-cylinder, 31-horsepower gasoline engine with about 29 horsepower at the drawbar. Come and give us some ideas for the 2020 feature tractor.
