It all started with a tractor

In 2005, Robert a Southern Ontario Beekeeper purchased a 1949 Ford 8N from a retiring beekeeping couple in Klienberg Ontario. The tractor needed some love, but with the help of Steiner Tractor Parts, was soon a work horse at Rob’s growing bee operation.
In 2015, Rob met Pam. Pam had a semi agricultural up bringing and love and marriage soon followed.
In 2022, Robert brought the tractor home for maintenance and over winter storage. Pam’s mom was dumbfounded when she spotted the tractor in the driveway. The little Ford 8N was a dead ringer for her father’s tractor. A tractor upon which Pam had learned to drive. A quick search revealed the truth. Rob had purchased Pam’s grandfather’s tractor, 10 years before Rob met Pam.
To this day the tractor is a hard worker as Rob and Pam take the next steps into their agricultural journey. The tractor will soon be restored to new and will be the centerpiece of their farm’s retail operation.
