Had some time to kill in a "one horse town" so I visited Farmall-Land USA. This is a museum for everything Tractor. Besides displaying tractors ( everything in hands off ), they display Fire Trucks, Belt Buckles, die cast toy tractors, etc. It is a mans lifetime collection of International harvester products.The building is well maintained, clean and neat. Everything is displayed beautifully. It's well worth the price of admission.

Farmall-Land is the perfect museum for the right kind of person. You know who you are. Others may not want to risk the $8 adult admission, cash or check(!) only. Not a big tractor fan myself, I got a kick out of seeing what a man can accumulate in a lifetime of collecting. In addition to the tractors there are die cast tractors, belt buckles, caps, pedal tractors, fire trucks, Scouts, refrigerators and freezers, all related to International Harvester and its related companies.I was saddened to see the 5 millionth Farmall tractor. I remember when it was produced at the now closed Farmall Works that once employed 5,000 people in Rock Island.The museum is clean, well lit, and nicely arranged. Regrettably, there is no touching or climbing on the tractors. I do not know how children would like the look but don't touch aspect. The free John Deere Pavilion in Moline may be a better choice for those with children. Farmall-Land is handy to Interstate 80 just southeast of exit 40.

This review is well overdue...In April of 2013, the owners made arrangements for my father and I to tour the museum, even though it was a few days before the official opening day. The owner's friends admitted us, and answered any questions we had about the machines on display. It is an extensive collection of Farmall/International tractors, plus some other pieces of International equipment. All in beautiful condition, a few pieces were even virtually unused. As we left the museum, the owner was coming and and graciously visited with us for several minutes. If you like looking at well-presented tractors, it's well worth the stop.

My hubby is a toy tractor collector (1/64 scale) We stopped at the Farmall-Land USA and toured Jerry Mez collection of International Harvester tractors. While we were there - a huge group of people from Holland came to tour. It was awesome. If you like the "red" tractors - you must go and see their collection.

My husband and I visited this spot in August 2013. This is a private collection of Farmall/International tractors collected and restored by the man who had the International dealership in the area for years. It's a very thorough collection and if you like Farm-alls, you will love this exhibit. We spent about an hour and a half and thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were very friendly, and we learned a lot about farming in the area as well as enjoyed the tractors.

We stopped by this museum while travelling through Iowa. The huge tractor collection is in a 26,500 ft pole barn. There were all kinds of IH, Farm-All & Case tractors, all in pristine condition. Each tractor had a display in front telling about the tractor. There was also a collection of pedal tractors and a gift shop. The employees were very nice and happy to talk to us about the collection and answer any questions that we had. If you have an interest in farm machinery, I definitely recommend seeing this collection!
