If we knew then what we know know maybe we would not have been in such a hurry to be modern. Where have all the beautiful horses gone?; 08 March, 2006 18:32

I believe this was the first tractor ever on B&B and should be around 1917. The Ringlings, though they owned B&B at the time, never did have one on their namesake show. They went with horses only until the 1919 merger; 09 March, 2006 16:35
