We use SUV type vechicles on our farms, mostly Landrover products as they are indestructable and easy to work on. I did drive a classic Range Rover up until 2 years ago similar to the library image in my pictures, (but in red not maroon) I now drive a Toyota Landcruiser. Double cab pickups are starting to make some headway here as we can reclaim some of the original sales tax, but they are not very practical and are very thirsty!

this pickup was used on a 40 acre farm in cullman, al. the orginial owner had a larger truck that he used for the bulk of the heavy farm work. this 1/2 ton could carry 40 bushels of sweet potatoes to the farmers market 40 miles north in birmingham, al. i purchased it in 1996 from the owner's son after it had been covered and then placed in an enclosed barn. and yes, once again; factory paint and even has the factory spare tire.

2009 , BIL harvesting corn, beautiful day.
 
1980 Mack truck and a antique Reo truck that belongs to someone in Canada, brought down to the restoration shop where my son works to have the engine put right. Been in the same family since new. My sons boss is an expert on Reo Engines. He owns at least two Reo Cars and they have another Reo truck almost ready to leave the shop now.

Our "used-to-be" grain truck when we farmed.

This is the one that I urged my husband to wait one year before selling - to make sure he really wanted to let her go.

Edit: Forgot to say the grain box panels were removable... this is obviously the rock box for hauling gravel. And you should have seen the pit guys look when he would drive that old girl down into the pit and have them fill 'er up with crushed rock.

larry@stines,

They are tough little buggers. Our son has a buddy with one that they take to Mud Bogs... they have rolled it an it still keeps on going, like an EverReady Bunny.

Bringing another 70 D home in 2008.
 
My 1997 F150 pulling the 1950 Ford 8N. Picture was taken in 2008 in Oklahoma City, the tractor resides at a little pecan orchard near Cashion, OK. I still drive the pickup and plan to for a while. The tractor was on its last legs in the picture, and is presently in non running condition. It is currently being stored until I can fix it for good, sometime within the next 3 years.

Still at work... my 1953 GMC and 1957 Chevy trucks loaded with stoker coal for heating my shop. The '57 was repowered in the 70's with a "Turbofire 327". The '53 GMC is powered by a 270 I-6.
 
Our 1947 Ford 2 ton that went through a 7 year restoration project. Dad"s original truck that was traded off, bought by a neighbour, bought back from his estate, & now resides back on the original farm. Dan

That's in really good shape for an 89, great shape, up here in NY, they rust out from so much road salt. How many miles you have on it??
 
I like those old Fords but I don't own any. Here is my oldest, a 59 IHC B110. It has been on the farm almost exactly 40 years. I'm thinking of putting it back on the road this summer.

'64 F-600 at the nearby sawmill just before loading some lumber

BarnRebuild002.jpg



'74 DM Mack, early one morning at the nearby elevator, headed for their scale to weigh up a load of hay.

'74 DM dumping a load of sawdust at a 2000 head dairy near the bins and where they make up the feed, incidentally, the load was on overnight, got real cold and it was froze up, about 2 hours later after digging out 3/4 of close to 40 cu. yds.

Almost done chopping it out !

Good friend of mine just bought that exact truck - a 47.

We've been slowly getting into it - hopefully it'll look like that someday!

if you've got any more pictures, I'd love to see them.
 
I had one of those with a V8 engine and wood stakes on a tilt bed. It was fun to drive, but a pain when you needed to service the engine.

Too bad you didnt have an excavator or backhoe to reach up in there and help pull it out.

Did that a few times with my Hein Werner posted below. Michigan clay can get very sticky with a little water mixed in.

Thats right here in town, Hewitt's, its possible you have seen there trucks, they haul grain all over, can't recall how many tractor trailers he has, he rents and owns quite a bit of land, just starting planting next to me, land used to be in rental for as long as I can recall to the farmer who owns the DM Mack I used to drive. Nice people, the elder gent of their family, still out on the equipment, rather see the corn than houses ! LOL
 
Its funny you mentioned that, they were expanding at this time, another huge and I mean absolutely huge barn going up, not sure what the increase in livestock was, but heard they were somewhere over 1000, headed to 2000 head. At the time there was a nice size excavator on site, as they were also construction another huge bunker, in addition to the massive bunker's they already had, its hard to imagine all the ground they plant to fill these, incredible, the size of this place.

I may have been able to get the excavator over, take a couple of swipes as you can see I did it with a grain shovel, but given the chaotic state of the place alone, feed wagon loading, all the other trucks unloading and the additional activity with the bunker and new barn, I decided I had better stay put, probably waste more time getting him over there, as well as walking around on foot at this place, you stand still too long something is going to run you over. Then there is always the chance the operator could whack the sileage body or the back door, and it don't take much to screw that up as I have seen with repairs already done to it from who knows what or just years of work. Was real cold out, I was dressed with insulated bibs, when I was younger probably would have taken an hour, so I hoofed it out, it was a goof, letting the load stay on the truck and freeze up, as it was loaded at dusk. Dumping up there in the dark, perpendicular to the ramp, is uneven ground, had to really fuss to get somewhat level, at night I can see it easier to turn one over, as you just can't see and they should have illuminated this area much better, thankfully I always had a feel for this and am a seasoned veteran on tri-axle dumps with much heavier loads, you kinda know the limits, but even though, with all that, and some hand labor included, was a lot safer, turning over that truck was not an option, so I figured it was no big deal, I did not even charge the time I had to do the hand labor, as the profit on this sawdust bedding was for crap, run used to take me an hour and a half, and if one tire blew out, profit on the load is lost and you're in the red, he stopped hauling it, just no money in it and they wanted it cheaper than what he was doing anyway, hard to get sawdust, and when you did, the truck had better be timely at the mill or its gone, was a real pain sometimes, and I hauled from the 2 largest mills around here.
 
Did you know that little Scooter is worth between $2500 and $3000 just as it sits. Saw on in worse condition on the Pickers the other day they payed $1500 and thought they stole it.

That's kind of nice to know that I didn't get totally shucked on the thing. I got it during a town-wide rummage sale here in Wellington. I actually drove away from it, but I got stopped by a train and while I was sitting there I was trying to talk myself out of buying it. But I knew I'd never see another one for $350. It's an Eshelman, with a model 23 Briggs. The trunk was crammed with parts from another one, everything but the frame and the body
 
I bet you kept warm shoving that out.

A lot of the guys around here spray the beds with fuel oil (really anything they have, engine oil, trans, hydraulic). Works for a little while. I wouldnt try it with sawdust.

Watched a guy put a bucket tooth through the bed of my buddies truck. Luckily no damage to the cross sills underneath. Welded a patch in. Funny how equipment gets used when you have hired hands running it. The truck driver was great on my friends equipment, the excavator/hoe guy, well I think he could break anything he touched.
 
Hi Jay,
It has 173,000 on it. I don't drive it much. It is not a daily driver. I use it for hauling feed ,cattle or whatever else I need a pickup for. Lucky if I put 2,000 miles on it a year. It only gets 10mpg pulling a trailer or not. Thanks for the compliment.
