Bob Bancroft · Feb 11, 2016

Interesting. One of the many things that AC tried. They took a D19 or a 190, put flotation tires on it- called it a "Beachmaster", and made a machine to go behind it to clean trash out of the sand. I think there was a bit of a rake under the tractor to bring the stuff to the top also.

a CASE 350 converted to a carrot harvester, also a CASE 188 dsl for powering the hyd system on the harvester

Lenco potato harvesters made right here in Montcalm County.
My old IH digger for contrast.

Was not able to get a pic of it but
last week a semi hauling what appears
to be a combine came thru town so I did
a u turn and got to looking it said
something farms cucumber harvesting
division. Look like a newer machine.
Semi and truck leading it had Texas
plates. No idea what it was doing in
Indiana!

Do planters go with this post? got a few of those
Anyway
Got the tater grader, got a digger two, but that's knee deep snow anywhere near getting to it so didn't dare grab a photo. One day when headed to the garden there was a fleet of bean or carrot pickers(don't recall exactly which), if I would of had the camera I would of snapped a few(got home, got busy, next time through they were long gone).

Haskell Dawes rope machine. Retrieved from
Millwaukee, Badger Cordage Mills, the Beussing
family. They ran sisal and some hemp. The dies can
be set to run 1 1/4" rope. The color you see is
plastic twine from Troyer Rope in Conneautville PA.
We get colored rope to match the feature theme for
the year. Typically a 5/8" rope for jump ropes and
tractor exhibitor's.

our digger looks like that older one, but the front was bugged up with a front axel from a feed cutter. Ours also has the weed kicker tines on top over a shaker rack on the back end.

Idaho Sugar Beet Harvester.

Cory Schmidt · Feb 11, 2016

I'll post the planters anyway..

Ellis two row pull type Trans-planter

Potato Planters Two row JD and a single IH(needs parts)

Plant Jr, with out hopper, mounted on A. Used for most of the garden seeds we plant.

Transplanter that mounts on the C. Two things wrong with this set up, uncomfortable(sit on board that rides ground legs and back straight). Planter seats are right in front of rear wheels, if something happens and not quick.......

European built potato planter.

A few of the grape harvest from this past season:

The three-wheeled Korvan sitting in front of our barn.

The front of the harvesting arch as it enters a row. The hydraulically driven horizontal loops beat the grapes off of the vines, they drop to the plates under the row and roll into the boxed elevator, dropping onto the over-row conveyor.

The rear of the machine showing the fish-scale-like plates that gather the falling grapes and seal around posts and plant trunks.

The harvester and chase tractor exiting a row, the chase tractors pull trailers with two ~1-ton bulk boxes.

Loader tractor pulling full boxes off the chase tractor trailer and replacing with empty.

The loader tractor placing full boxes on the semi and pulling off the empties. Twenty-two boxes per trailer load, about 25 tons net, each box tested on farm for sugar content, and again at processing plant 40 miles away for sugar content, pH, and other undesirable contents.

The neighbors that harvest for us also run two other harvesters, built in New Zealand, running Deere engines and Sound Guard cabs- I can't seem to find any pictures on file, but the design is very similar.

This was really a fun topic. There's a whole other ag world out there that I, from the midwest, am not familiar with.

JD John · Feb 11, 2016

Potato digger I found on the net one night looking for something else and have never seen one like it. A hay cuber pic from a sales brochure I have.

This spade works great behind a tractor.

PJH · Feb 11, 2016

Don't laugh - this is my homemade potato planter. I take the wooden footboard and the tub support off and store them inside. We plant 6 or 7 rows each about 200 feet long in less than an hour without making a footprint in the garden. It used to be an all day job. My grand daughter is the dropper. There's a dinger that dings every foot to signal when to drop. I pull it with a JD 630 in 1st gear at idle throttle.

K Effective · Feb 11, 2016

I wouldn't think of laughing, every other implement we all use started with an idea like yours, improved upon and advanced to what we have today. If it works for you, GREAT!

Allis Chalmers converted to a beet harvestor

Allis Chalmers industrial B with the Roustabout crane conversion.....only one I know of that still exists. This one was used by the railroad. The brass fire extinguisher has an engraved plate on it that says "stolen from the Great Northern Railroad"

sourgum · Feb 11, 2016

Silage chopper, V-12 diesel engine around 900 hp, probably handles 12 or 16 rows in single pass, seen at the farm show. Never seen that size engine in a farm implement.

This is a really interesting thread - great idea on rrlund's part.

Scott-SD · Feb 12, 2016

Was this rope maker at a show in Minnesota?
I remember seeing one like that but can't remember what tractor show it was at.

RalphWD45 · Feb 12, 2016

PJH That looks like it started life, as a Ford, or Furgeson rear cultivator! I took the shanks off of one , and made a 3 pt spray rig out of it, only 55 gal., but works for me.

Majorman · Feb 12, 2016

Home made stripper header combine from Victoria, Australia. Me using a 77 year ols McKay Sunshine stripper header in 2014. My Nuffield 4/65 tractor and a 1950's Johnson single row potato harvester in Norfolk, England.

The rope machine is at Albany Mn.

Yeah Ralph, those old cultivator frames are handy for making home made gadgets. I think this frame has a Burch tag on it, but they are all similar. Nothing gets thrown away around here. The bell is made out of one of Linda's stainless steel kitchen bowls. The hubs for the ridgers are rear hubs off of a FWD car. Bolts & welding rods are usually my only expense. I forgot to give credit to Sam in Ireland who gave me the idea of the one foot dinger.
