Florida Flywheelers - [email protected] - 02-23-2025

So this past weekend and last week we went over to Florida Flywheelers park starting on Wednesday. The weather was perfect for dry camping, a small shower on Wednesday evening. Florida Flywheelers is essentially a tractor show, but the grounds also have probably one of the largest flea markets you will see. There are tons of things to do during the show, I will add some pictures of the highlights. We enjoy watching the tractor pulling and just riding around looking at all the junk, I mean stuff for sale! haha! There is a small village with buildings set up that have all kinds of different displays, including a working sawmill running off a steam engine.

This is a picture of our Newell on the right, center is a 1953 GM 4104, and a 1998 Prevost conversion.

Some of the village buildings:

Here is a video of a steam tractor pull that my buddy filmed:

Here is my buddy leaving in his 4104, he has owned this coach since 1979:

Kool Jeff! These kinds of events are what I like to do with our coach! What town is this near? I have the Cool Spring Museum in PA on my list.

The closest town is Avon Park, Fl. Just look up Florida Flywheelers and you will find their website. They have shows only in the spring and the fall, next show will be in November. We usually try to get to the January or February show.

Yes I agree Jack, would love to see a showing of coaches for this event.

I believe Bestgenman frequents some of these events. I like the October dates.

That's awesome! I would enjoy that. Hope MO has stuff like that to do. We bought a small cab tractor for our property maintenance.

Nice, enclosed cab is a really nice feature.

I bought an old backhoe for my property, it’s a JCB 3D. I am like a big kid in a sandbox when i am running it.

I see a future resto mod custom work on that enclosed tractor. :}

Only a turbo kit one of the Kioti forum members is selling! I already added a subwoofer and stereo to the thing. Sounds great and I hate wearing earbuds so this was a win win for me.

That is awesome!! Heck yeah, I would be digging up everything just for the fun of it!! I didn't want to spend the 10k for the backhoe attachment for this tractor since a stand alone machine like you have is much better at that task.
