Prairie Plowing Days – The Big Dig held on August 27-29, 2021!
The Historical Construction Equipment Association International Convention and Old Equipment Exposition 35th Annual The Big Dig, hosted by Prairie Plowing Days, Concordia KS. Concordia KS was honored to host this one time event. HCEA is from Bowling Green, Ohio and decides where the event will be held annually.
The show featured dirt moving equipment; working scrapers, haul trucks, shovels, cranes-both drag-line and Clam shell buckets, steam traction engines, prairie tractors, pull graders, motor graders, elevating grader, dozers, and wheel loaders. The experience took the viewer back in time to the 1950’s within a major highway construction project. The Big Dig showcased every type of equipment that would have been working on that job including a rock crushing plant, a “Bin-A -Batch ready mix plant from the 1950’s as well as a host of other sites.
The show also featured a variety of static displays, cars, trucks, old crawlers and wheeled tractors, as well as vendors on site. Additionally, there were steam and prairie tractor plowing demonstrations.
