Rodney Miller Shares Love of Tractors

Miller's collection of tractors has stories to tell. Here are some photos of his favorite machines.


(Rodney Miller - Ag Leaders - Page 3 of 3)

A self-described “farm boy from Southern Illinois,” Rodney Miller also is an avid collector of antique tractors and equipment.

When Hobby Farms editors first met Miller, McCormick International USA’s chief executive officer, at the National Farm Machinery Show, he was standing beside a shiny, handsomely revived Farmall from the 1950s. (You can see that tractor in some of the photos here.)

He enjoys showing off his tractors and interacting with other collectors.

Here are a few photos of his collection on display--and at work.

A 1966 IH 1206

Miller bought and restored this 1966 IH 1206 from his neighbor. He says, “It may be my favorite.”

Miller often takes his tractors on the road in his Miller Family Farms show truck. Here he stands among his 1962 IH model 140 (left), 1950 IH model “M” and a 1946 IH model “H.”

Hi Rodney, I have Famall that my husband and I restored several years ago buy I really don't know for sure what year it is, It is a Farmall 300LP and it looks so much like the one you are standing in front of except mine has the Propane tank on it. How can I find out the real date on this tractor ? My Husband has passed on and I would like to find out the real value of this tractor. Your help in this matter will be Greatly appreciated.
Thanks
