The Waterloo Boy was the first model tractor that John Deere released to the farming community.
Sandstone has owned one for over 20-years. It was however in need of a total overhaul and cosmetic upgrade, which has now been completed. It was last overhauled in 2005 when we acquired it and this link also gives a short history of the Waterloo Boy..

Its last major appearance was in 2018 when it was loaned to John Deere, South Africa, for the NAMPO Show celebrating 100 years of John Deere.

This iconic tractor which is certainly the most significant one in the large tractor collection at Sandstone will be in use and on display during the Cherry Festival in November.
