1/4 Mile "Fence" Made Out Of Antique Tractors
Gerald Von Hollen built a fence so unique it's the talk of all his neighbors and passersby. The Leslieville, Alberta, farmer used nearly 200 antique tractors to make the 1/4-mile barrier, including Deeres, McCormicks, Massey Harris's, Hart Pars, Wallaces, Allis Chalmers and Farmalls. His grandfather Edwin started the fence 50 years ago. The tractors have been gathered from all over, Von Hollen says, and many have been driven to the fence line under their own power. Some still turn over, he adds.
In addition to the "tractor fence" on the south side of his farm, Von Hollen also recently began constructing a fence out of old threshing machines on the west side of his place.
