Keith- Some parts of the world they do things a little different, can you imagine cutting hay and how much hay would get it wrapped around the PTO shaft that low to the ground.

Keith- The hitch on the tractor is higher up then here in North America and it can be set at different heights too 4 hours ago, Qc.Can.IH man said: Some parts of the world they do things a little different, can you imagine cutting hay and how much hay would get it wrapped around the PTO shaft that low to the ground. The PTO is at the same level on the tractor in Europe as in North America and there is no problem of wrapping of hay check this video out there you can see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would have been better mounted on the front of the tractor. I happened to find this harvest themed ad in one of my folders so thought I'd post it . Goodison threshing machines were sold by John Deere at the time. I don't have a date on the ad but believe it is from the early 1930s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U-C Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 The Hürlimann D 600 was intended for export to South America and for bigger farms in Europe but sadly only a small number were made the tractor has a 65 HP 4 cylinder Diesel engine. The Tractor has a 5 speed forward and 1 Reverse speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loadstar Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 19 hours ago, U-C said: The New Holland hay rakes were popular here when I was a kid. Earlier ones had spring teeth but at some point they changed over to rubber mounted teeth. Not sure which was best. I've got an IH rake that is almost a copy of the New Holland design. I have not used it in years because I like the Pollard wheel rake better. This ad shows a New Holland from about 1950. Its a pto drive model. The ones I used were ground drive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHhogfarmer Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Following with the side delivery hay rake trend here is John Deere advertising a few different rakes that they had in 1956. The one pictured is a 851 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U-C Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Here are two different belt or chain side delivery rakes for motor mower one is a BUCHER and the other a Rapid both Swiss made. These rakes were also able to ted hay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loadstar Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I've been reading some of the posts about the snow on the corn still in the fields. I guess on the bright side at least a guy does not have to sit out on an open tractor and corn picker trying to harvest in the cold miserable weather. Like this cover photo from 1949 of a DC Case pulling a 2 row machine. Interesting to see how the wagon is pulled along by the tractor as well.

I don't think the poor fella on the DC is actually that cold. Take a look at the horizon in the background - I think the trees still all have their green leaves! Luxury!

My grandpa would always say..."I didn't pick corn till the beginning of November" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred B Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 if i'm thinking correctly, that is a 1939 DC it had a higher seating arrangement than later ones' along with wider fenders, and a few other things different. i think i would have liked it better.

IHhogfarmer Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 The first one is a little different to what everyone has been posting. I had mentioned this fertilizer ad in another topic but though I would post the ad here. The second is Massy Harris ad with their line of tractors. Both are from a January 1955 Successful Farming magazine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there were many, if any, still in use by 1955. More likely this one way disk tiller. This one from 1953 has the seeding attachment. Most of them did here.

That plow is a model 37 and the tractor is a 44 special. Where there a lot of those Massey tractors around your area during that time Loadstar?

Closest neighbour had one. Another one a mile west. There were a few triple 4s around as well which pretty much resembled the 44. Just more horsepower. My brother still has one. You have likely seen it in this video from last year. It had not run in quite a while and was a little reluctant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHhogfarmer Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I remember seeing that video Loadstar. I like the styling of that Ford 6000. Good thing that you got both tractors running. Speaking of the Massey 444 here is an ad from 1956 showing the triple 3, triple 4, and triple 5 tractors. Would you bet that there was no 666 because Massey thought someone else could have the “devils tractor” like IH maybe haha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
