Schneider Family Collection
Buying the Farm
Bob DeKorne / 2009-05-07


Chuck and Diane Schneider of Hadley, Michigan, have seen and done a lot while enjoying their eclectic collection of vintage treasures – from showing a classic car at Pebble Beach to camping trips with the Tin Can Tourists and their vintage travel trailers.

When they bought the farm – literally – four years ago, they quickly began creating a unique display centered around orchard tractors. Over a hundred tractors later, they graciously allowed us into their barns to enjoy one of the country’s best fleets of American work horses, with great cars and automobilia skillfully mixed right in.




NOTE: The response to the article on the Schneider Collection has been overwhelming. However, the Schneider's collection is private and at their home. They don't have the facilities, parking or staff to accommodate visitors.

I've been raised around farm machinery and have never seen most of these tractors. Truly amazing, and I agree with others that a website specific to all the vehicles within would be fantastic.
 
 
We have been some of the very fortunate to have seen and met these beautiful people and collection. It is something that we will never forget...Thanks Diane...your Canadian friends
 
THIS LOOKS GREAT. WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE REAL THING. CAN IT ARRANGED?
 
Great collection, but why not open it up to the public? Or "loan" it to a musuem where it can be seen and enjoyed?
 
Amazing collection, thanks for sharing. Is there any place people can go to see more pictures?
 
 
Great & diverse collection! I love the old cars, trucks & tractors. As an alternative to visitors, they may want to consider establishing a webspace for their collection, so it can be viewed and shared online.
 
 
Thanks for the article and thanks to the Schneiders for preserving the tractors, pickups, cars and neon signs.........
