...by a visit to our static display of farming machinery, throughout the summer months from May to September, or make a point to visit Hunta on the second weekend in August, where you will be entertained by local Hunta residents, who will have many of the museum’s working farm equipment operating, and will be happy to “shout above the noise’ and  answer any of your questions. This is a very popular annual event on our C.T.M.G.A. calendar, and fun for all.

The previously mentioned  1922  Fordston tractor, the initial project at Hunta, is currently still on display. A 1938 Fasmell  and a four wheel drive Massey Harris stand out as popular favourites with visitors, and owners alike. The latter is one of only 2800 units ever produced.

  The cast iron implement seat, or as most visitors describe them, “tractor’s seat” were designed for use on various farm implements, such as binders and disc ploughs, that were then pulled by horses. Hunta has a great collection of these, dating back to 1800’s. As part of this collection, is a Jabell seat, seen here, among a portion of the overall collection.
