His Pedal Tractor Turns Heads
 ✖  |
Randy Nuetzman is proud to show off his late friend Gary Snyder’s invention to the world. It’s a 1943 H Farmall tractor that Snyder modified to be a one-of-a-kind pedal tractor. Four people can sit on each side and pedal, with one person in the back to steer. There are even cupholders on the side.
Nuetzman believes that Snyder built his pedal tractor over ten years ago, using a tractor that had initially been his father’s when he’d managed a 60 to 80-head dairy. Snyder took out the engine and hooked a drive train to the transmission. It’s made an appearance in the community multiple times since, including at the RAGBRAI (Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa) several years back.
This past summer, Nuetzman took the Snyder’s pedal tractor to the Clay County Fair. Many visitors had the opportunity to try it out despite the limited space at the fairgrounds for biking.
“People just love looking at it,” says Nuetzman. “‘That’s unique’ must’ve been the comment I heard most often at the fair.”
