A montage of some of our red equipment from the late 1940s. We bought a lot of this equipment brand-new from the local International Harvester dealership, Tryac Truck & Equipment, in 1948, 1949, and 1950.
As you can tell from looking at the funky patina, these pieces of equipment are not restored show tractors, but rather unrestored originals. Some of them cost as much as $6200 in the late 1940s. As antique auto collectors like to say, “It’s only original once.”
International Harvester shipped our tractors via railcar, on the same car as tractors for other Cutchogue growers such as Leander “Junie” Glover Jr, to the Southold Tryac dealership, which no longer exists.
