I recently discovered that My-D-Han-D is still building new elevators and grain augers and that they are advertizing replacement parts for Allied, Speed-King and late model New Idea elevators and augers. http://www.mydhandsales.com I thought it might be useful info to pass along.

This was the 1-row front mount that Case made for the VAC tractor. I don't imagine many were made. Do any still exist? I've only seen a few pictures.

He had a heart attack baling hay. He was very meticulous about taking care of his machinery. See listing at www.ownbyco.com. Th...

Anyone out there ever used a one row pull type FMC sweet corn harvester? I'm not familiar with this brand and I have an opportunity to purchase one. What are some things to watch for? How much corn or what part of the ear are they most known to damage and why?

I was at an auction yesterday and they had this Oliver 77 and picker there. The tractor was stuck and looked like it had been sitting a little while. It brought $1000.00. I talked to the guy that bought it and asked "will you have it ready to pick corn this fall and he said " I hope to". I gues...

I talked to the owner of this corn crib and he said I could have it. Now I need to figure out how to move it the five miles to my grandparents place. It is about 54 feet long and 12 feet high. A 3,000 bushel corn crib. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Anyone ever have any experience with one of those bucket elevators built into the corn crib? My grandpa has one in his grainery but hasn't used it in over 20 years.

Tim in NJ · Tim in NJ

My grandfather used to plant the field corners square. The picker couldn't follow that corner. It wasn't acceptable to run any over with the picker, either. So the grandkids were sent out at the beginning of the season with a tractor and a box wagon to pick the corners out by hand. Due to not having...
