Machines of Iron traveled to Northern California for two event in the Summer of 2000. The first was in Woodland, CA, the Bygone Farming Days 2000, where Caterpillar’s 75th anniversary was celebrated. Rare and unusual Best, Holt, and Caterpillar track vehicles were the main attraction of this event. We then traveled to Petaluma, CA and visited the Ponte Ranch where a rare 5 wire hay press, a 3 wire hay press, and several tractors were demonstrated. So come along for this look at a bygone era.
