If you were out on Highway 63 in Kirksville on Wednesday afternoon, the tractors were hard to miss. 150 tractors rolled into town as part of the annual Southeast Iowa Tractor Ride.

The ride started in Milton, Iowa and made its way into Northeast Missouri.

The group of riders will be spending the night in Kirksville.

Riders say it’s slow going, but a good time to sit back and think.

Tractors are divided into three classes: 9, 12, and 8 miles per hour.

A repair van travels along also in case of any breakdowns.
