Bill Schubart takes the opportunity to drive his 53-year-old John Deere tractor in the East Charlotte Tractor Parade and shares his memorable experience.
This captures something really importnt about rural culture that gets lost in all the precision ag talk. A 53 year old John Deere 2240 still runing strong says more about the brand than any marketing could. That deaf Model A builder sounds like the kind of person who actualy knows how things work, which is getting rarer these days. The contrast between the simplicity of a tractor parade and the political nonsense on the radio is perfect. Those kids at the parade probably learned more about community in one afternoon than most politicians learn in a career.
