Spent about 8 hours in the seat today mowing hay in several small fields with the '44 Farmall H and a 9' Gehl mo-co, including the remainder of a neighbors field when his NH 401 haybine broke. Grass 4-6' tall in places made it snort some, but seventy three years of farm work, and still going strong. Would have cut more, but I started stirring mud in a tell-tale spot, which says the rest of one wet field will have to wait for a longer dry spell. Tomorrow, the '51 Super A will hook to the ~ '40 Case 170 rake (on steel), and then the H will pack small squares with a ~ 60 year old IH 46 baler.
I'd love to post a picture, but there wasn't anyone standing around with nothing better to do than hold a camera, and most of you are all too familiar with old iron in work clothes.
I know of a few here who use ag iron 50 or more years old on a regular basis for real work, but I'm sure there are others who haven't confessed yet. Let's hear what you do with your yesterday's tractor(s) and equipment.
