Homesteader Tractor

[T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,505]

I was browsing MTF and ran across a thread on the Homesteader Tractor Company, built in Clinton, Arkansas. Interesting tractor.

Anyone here ever see or possibly hear of these?

Never see or heard of one before, but certainly a neat little tractor!

i havent seen one of those. but i have seen a homesteader that was very very little. the one i saw hada 6 hp briggs and stratton and i think it only had a single blade deck. i got a picture on my fone i will try to get one here. but the homesteader that im talking bout was alot smaller than a round hood.

sorry bored after finals.

Devin,

I think the Homesteader you're referring to is from a different company, and not the Homesteader tractor here. I think Allis Chalmers had a little lawn tractor named Homesteader. http://www.simpletractors.com/models/homesteader.htm

Terry I caught that thread too over at MTF.

Pretty neat & basic tractor....reminds me of the Grand Haven Tractor from said town in MI.

Dont even get me started :omg:

Here's an add on YT to give an idea what a Grand Haven looks like.

No it doesn't look exactly like a Homesteader....but very similiar designs.

Interesting. I'd heard the name before, but always associated it with the Simplicity tractor. Pretty crude looking tractor for the mid to late 70s. Be interesting to see a price list. Used Brinly attachments just like everybody else... I do like the two bottom plow setup pictured.

I know of at least 2 collectors here in Mich that have the Homesteader with hoods. I have seen one of them used for pulling and they sure are tough!

I have a nice homesteader tractor --purchased within the last month. It has a 10 hp tecumseh engine. Quite a little tractor with cultivators and a rear blade.

Please post some pictures of it - I still haven't seen one, even thought this thread is almost 2 years old.

There was one, with hood, at our tractor show this weekend in NJ. Camera was in the truck and I was too lazy to go get it. Owned by a guy named Dan who does most of the shows in the SE PA area with his brother-in-law George. Next time I bump in to him I'll get a picture.
