Can't remember if I posted this before lol, its the first Huerlimann tractor model the 1K8 it had a one cylinder Bernard gasoline engine with 8 HP, the tractor came out in 1929 and 102 were sold of this model, a year later the successor model the 1K10 replaced this one.

The 1K8 and the 1K10 had rubber lugs on the rear steel wheels and rubber air tires in the front only the two 1K8 prototypes had steel wheels in the front.

Converting wind power to electricity is nothing new. Some farms had their own system back in the 1940s like this one in the Aeromotor ad from 1949.

You used to see some of the generator mounts in old farmsteads for the early electric systems. Old time guys all talk about the glass batteries in the basement. I don’t know how many Volts they combined  but they at least had some light and could use the radio.

I believe those were 32 volt systems. I guess on the rare day that the wind failed in Sask. you would need one of these engine powered power plants in the basement. Fairbanks Morse ad from the early 1900s. Instead of burning kerosene in the lamps for light, you burned it in the engine to produce electricity.

ray54, interesting story about the Deere “sidewinder” the “banana” bales that you mentioned I’ve heard other say on this form that other square balers form the 60’s and 70’s produce those kinds of bales.

This ad of the New Holland Super 77  and the Super 66 shows what it can bale in a “normal” days work (I don’t know if that is true or not I think it’s a cool ad myself)

In this ad it says the 77 can bale up to 12 tons per hour and there are 21 wagons shown and totaling about 2000 bales

Käppeli traktor ad, Käppeli bought the production rights for this tractor from the german tractor maker Kramer but sadly Kaeppeli wasn't so successful because the war broke out and they weren't able to get engines from germany. The tractor had a one cylinder 20 HP diesel from Güldner engine. Only around 10 or so were made

I think I have posted this Westgo swath lifter ad before but it seems appropriate today. With our swaths covered in snow (for the second time) I guess a swath lifter would shake some of it out and help drying. Not on canola though. That would thresh out most of it in the lifting process. Might be ok on wheat and barley. 

From the early 1950s.

Neighbor of mine one year put one of their sund pickups on their swather to aerate the swath.  Worked really good since it didn't mangle the swath.

Thanks for hunting that up. Gives me more questions as to why the 14 was not available as wire or engine powered. Or at least until the 114 and 116 were discontinued.

The 14 and 24T were never available with wire.  However, the 214 was and its probably no coincidence that it came out the same year the 114 and 116 were dropped.

That would work alright. Those old Sund pickups looked like a bundle of wires but they sure scratched up a poor swath where the others would leave it behind. Had one on a Case pull type and a Massey 550. Not so great once we started growing canola as a lot of seed would fall through. 

This ad is for a newer design Sund. I don't know how well they sold. I never saw any of them.

I've never seen one of those either.  Sunds worked good back in the day but dropped out of favor due to the high maintenance, the canola issue you mentioned and they didn't tolerate high speeds very good once combine capacity started moving up.  Nobody misses them around here.  Our newest one was bought in the 80s and is a three chain run with a hydraulic motor.

Nice 20 series JD four wheel drives. I have that brochure too. 

Here are some older harvest machines from Case in 1949.

Dad has a 3 chain 11 ft sund that is all he liked to run. There was always something broke on the pickup though. That newer rubber belt pickup never took off but they were making replacement baler pickups for many models. I will snap a photo of a 2 belt display model. The sund were very popular here and made in northern North Dakota.

I thought this little flyer for Oliver dealers was interesting and haven't run across it before.  I would be interested to learn just how well these worked.

I'd guess that ad at the late 1940s and there was still a place for steel wheels here anyway. Thousands of acres of bush land being cleared and it took a tractor on steel wheels to work it down with a bush disk or plow. 

In 1949 you could still buy a manure spreader on steel wheels from Minneapolis Moline.

do you have any idea what year steel was still offered as a FACTORY option for tractors?
