You don’t have to be “vertically challenged” to attend the 11th
Annual Little Guys Show held at Bob Rentzel’s farm near York, Pa.,
April 23-24. The show is open to visitors of all sizes, but
equipment on display is mostly smaller: walk-behind and low-profile
garden tractors and related equipment, and this year, pedal
tractors.
“We’re hosting the first-ever USA National Motorized Pedal
Tractor Meet,” Bob says. The focus is on units safe enough for
actual use by children, he says. “I know we’re going to have six
there. I’m hoping for 46, but we just don’t know what will happen.”
We’re also inviting local kids to come and bring their pedal
tractors.”
The Pennsylvania State Plowing Contest (for full-size tractors)
will be held nearby in conjunction with the Little Guys Show.
Capitalizing on that, a garden tractor plowing contest will be held
on Sunday, April 24, with the same state judges presiding. That
contest will also feature a youth division.
A nearby field will be available for those who want to put their
garden tractors to work, and pulling sleds will be ready for use by
both garden tractors (stock tractors) and pedal tractors.
