In our area in the 50s-80s when most guys had 100a and 120 head they would of been very handy. Guess we all had enough kids around to help withe silage and hay harvest.... Poettinger sells self loading wagons in North America but only there Silage version of them, the hay and green feed versions are only sold in Europe https://www.poettinger.at/en_us/Produkte/Kategorie/14/silage-loader-wagons Here is a Poettinger self loading wagon brochure from the late 60s or early 70s I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loadstar Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Fall coming on and soon will be time to check the anti-freeze in the engines. Better get a few cans of Prestone. From 1955. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHhogfarmer Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Don’t forget to see the “big” Allis Chalmers and Gleaner combines at your nearest dealer for the fall harvest of you soybeans and sorghum. From 1956 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray54 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I remember anti freeze in cans but the most popular brand in the neighborhood were rectangular cans. But I don't remember the brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't remember the brand. I've got a few of those metal anti freeze cans too. Prestone, also a genuine GM anti freeze can. Probably a few others I can't remember. I need to get them out for a picture one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loadstar Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Anybody got the 2018 Dupont classic tractor calendar? September tractor is the Canadian built Norseman. Pretty rare tractor apparently. I have this original ad in a Canadian Farm Equipment magazine in 1949. According to the calendar caption there were only 44 of these tractors built. I see there was a dealer in Sask. Wonder if they sold any here? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll have to look it up. Seems like it was just another post WW II component tractor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many powered by the ubiquitous Chrysler flathead six industrial engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see there is at least one survivor in Canada. Here is another odd name tractor that was likely a low production post war effort. The Intercontinental from 1948 or 49.

You'll recall the name Bombardier as it went on to introduce the "Ski_doo" line of snowmobiles in the 1960s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Cultivac tractor was made for Vegi growers other companies like FENDT made a different version which they discontinued in early 2000s. That's a awesome ad just to think companies today are offering that again a half tracked tractor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is another likely low production , post war tractor from the Canadian Farm Equipment Dealer magazine. The Haas Atomic. A whopping 12.5 horsepower available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U-C Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Here is a very rare Swiss made tractor made in the 1940s, Willy Lang made tractors from the early 30s at this time Doodle bug tractors (cars that had been converted into tractors) than from 1939 he started manufacturing his own frame and finale drives. Tractor production ended in 1952 a total of only 25 tractors were made. This one in the photo is the only one known to exist. The tractor has a Plymouth engine in it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
