Transparent Adjudicator's Statement
Summary of Claim
Atlas World Records received a claim for the Largest Parade of Farmall Tractors, defined as the greatest number of qualifying Farmall tractors participating in a continuous, single-file procession along a defined course, with each tractor passing a designated verification point once.
For this record, a qualifying Farmall tractor was defined as a tractor originally manufactured and marketed under the Farmall brand, historically associated with International Harvester and, in modern production, Case IH. Eligible tractors included vintage and classic Farmall models produced by International Harvester, including McCormick and McCormick-Deering variants within the Farmall lineage, as well as modern Farmall models produced under Case IH, provided that each tractor retained its identity as a Farmall model and remained visually and functionally consistent with Farmall design and branding.
The submitted claim asserted that 111 qualifying Farmall tractors completed the parade route in a continuous procession.
Evidence Submitted
Atlas World Records reviewed the following evidence in support of the claim:
Video evidence from a fixed camera positioned at the designated verification point, capturing the full procession as each tractor passed.
On-site adjudicator observation and counting, including the use of a digital counting app by the Atlas adjudicator as each tractor passed the verification point.
Registration cards completed for participating tractors, including make, model, year where available, owner or driver name, and city/state. These cards were handed from each tractor to the master of ceremonies during the parade, then passed on camera to the Atlas adjudicator for the official count, and then to a secondary witness for an additional count.
A completed registration log in spreadsheet format documenting the registered tractors.
A defined parade route map identifying the course used for the attempt.
Rules and adjudicator notes defining the record framework, qualifying tractor criteria, counting requirements, route requirements, and evidence collection process. These notes specify that tractors were required to be self-propelled, operational under their own power, driven by an individual participant, and counted only once at the designated verification point.
A signed witness statement confirming the secondary count and supporting the final verified total.
Comparative and Cross-Archive Benchmark Review
Atlas World Records conducted a comparative review of known Farmall tractor parade records and identified the prior benchmark as 110 Farmall tractors, achieved in New South Wales, Australia in 2023 and certified by Guinness World Records.
The verified total of 111 qualifying Farmall tractors exceeds that prior benchmark by one tractor, establishing a new world record for the Largest Parade of Farmall Tractors.
Verification Methodology
Atlas verified the claim through a multi-step review process designed to confirm eligibility, counting accuracy, and procession integrity.
First, Atlas reviewed the record definition and rules framework established for the attempt. The rules required a continuous, single-file procession along a defined course, with each qualifying tractor passing the designated verification point once and only once. Tractors joining after the verification point or re-entering the course for a duplicate count would not qualify.
Second, the on-site Atlas adjudicator observed the procession in real time and counted each qualifying tractor as it passed the designated verification point using a digital counting app.
Third, Atlas reviewed the registration cards and registration log to confirm that counted tractors corresponded to documented participants. The registration cards provided identifying information for each tractor, including make, model, year where available, owner or driver, and location.
Fourth, Atlas cross-referenced the on-site count, the registration materials, the fixed-position video evidence, and the signed witness statement to verify the final total. Only tractors supported by the required evidence and consistent with the Farmall eligibility criteria were included in the final count.
Adjudication Findings
Atlas finds that the parade was conducted along a defined route within the Appalachian Fairgrounds in Gray, Tennessee, and that participating tractors proceeded in a continuous procession past a designated verification point.
Atlas finds that the evidence supports a final count of 111 qualifying Farmall tractors.
Atlas finds that the tractors counted were consistent with the record’s Farmall eligibility requirements, including qualifying Farmall-branded models historically associated with International Harvester and modern Farmall models produced under Case IH.
Atlas finds that the on-site count, registration cards, completed registration log, fixed-position video evidence, and secondary witness count support the same final verified total.
Atlas finds no evidence of duplicate counting, re-entry for the purpose of being counted more than once, or inclusion of non-qualifying tractors in the final total.
Conclusion
Based on the evidence reviewed and the adjudication methodology applied, Atlas World Records verifies that West Hills Tractor, Inc. and the Tri-State Antique Power Association achieved the world record for the Largest Parade of Farmall Tractors with a final verified count of 111 qualifying tractors.
This achievement surpasses the prior Guinness World Records-certified benchmark of 110 Farmall tractors set in New South Wales, Australia in 2023.
