Free pickup · Tax receipt · Supports veterans
Kentucky agriculture is shaped by tobacco, horses, cattle, and the corn that feeds the bourbon industry. The Bluegrass region of central Kentucky — Fayette, Bourbon, Woodford, and Scott counties — runs the world's most concentrated horse farm economy alongside tobacco and cattle. The Pennyrile and western Kentucky counties support burley tobacco, corn, soybeans, and beef cattle. Eastern Kentucky's hill country runs cattle, hay, and the smaller diversified farms of the Cumberland Plateau.
Tractor donations from Kentucky include Kubota and John Deere compact tractors common on horse farms across the Bluegrass, Massey Ferguson and Ford tractors from tobacco country, and John Deere row crop and Case IH equipment from western Kentucky's larger grain operations. Vintage Farmall, Allis-Chalmers, and Oliver tractors from Kentucky's farming heritage are accepted on the same terms as modern equipment. Compact and utility tractors from horse and cattle farms come in regularly.
From large row crop tractors to compact utility units, combines to skid steers, every type of agricultural equipment donated from Kentucky is accepted — running or not, with attachments or bare, stored in a field or in a barn.
TractorDonations.org runs pickup across Kentucky. Bluegrass region coverage includes Lexington, Frankfort, Versailles, and Paris. Louisville and northern Kentucky pickup runs through Louisville, Covington, and Bowling Green. Western Kentucky routes include Owensboro, Henderson, Paducah, and Hopkinsville.
