Local show Cub Arama

Show was hosted local today it was a Cub Arama.







Planting baccer




The contraption used.












The old old way wood h-o-l-e p-o-k-e-r on left store brought on right




I got an education on how a baccer setter was used they say it was an art to using them You had to time it just right are you would pull the plant back out.




This took place at a baccer farm




Around 5ft tall




The guy collects IH stuff has old tobacco barns full of it. He uses the barns for his shop and storage.



















Add this for the IH guys the instructions and tool to resize the tank for the new caps. He had IH special tools to many to post I spent a hour playing with them.
















US border patrol was there









Old truck










Oh yes and those Cubbys.

great pictures!!!!!!!

Interesting pictures Hobo ! We still
have the baccer setter like what is
pictured in the back of the pickup
truck with the water barrel for the
side of the tractor. Grandaddy said
he always used it on the Farmall
100. I have never seen it attached
to the tractor and have always been
curious as to how it attached and
worked. All I ever heard was that
they were very appreciative to
finally be able to afford a trailer
type 1 row Holland like in the later
pictures. Are they more forgiving on plant size than a clip type planter ?Wherever that baccer patch is at, it must have missed some of the heat and drought we experienced in June,or it got irrigated early, as it looks good. I still can't imagine a Cub being capable of handling a 1 row setter with 2 people on board as far as lift capacity.

HoBo
I'm a Yankee. What's a baccer setter? lol
Thanks for the pics.

A big thanks Hobo for all the pics and taking us to the show with you. That place is a museum. The tobacco implements bring back lots of memories as many like me grew up using them. The tobacco growing regions of the nations were served by IH well, and there are still many Cubs and the larger offset one row tractors working gardens and small jobs for farmers and homeowners.

The first transplanter I remember seeing was most likely a Holland planter hooked to a Cub. It was owned by a neighbor, who also owned the Farmall H that now lives here. I will take a guess on this and say that the planter was hooked to the drawbar with the possibility that it was reversed, meaning mounted on the front side of the final drives. The planter would be closer to the tractor, and chains were probably attached to the rockshaft and towards the rear of the planter to raise it. The water barrel was mounted in front of the driver. The owner was a strong, stocky man, and with all the planter attachments and him on the tractor, one had to look hard to see the tractor. In addition to his crop, he planted baccer for other farmers as well with that setup.

Great pictures! Wish shows like this
were closer to home! Thanks for letting
us tag along.

I can get up with the owner of the setter and find out Yes it attached to a draw bar and was driven buy a chain to automatically dispense water. You can see the water valve at his left knee.

I am almost sure the owner of the baccer is Gary Thomas he has 850 acres of it scattered about. No doubt it was irrigated as its been dry here also. Chuck Mann the owner of the property is retired and very inviting to anyone that stops by for a look at his stuff. His address is 1704 Broadway Rd, Sanford, NC 27332 are close his driveway is marked Farmall Ln. Chuck show me a pix of Garys new irrigation gizmo he said something about it being a 16 row and coast 1/2 a mil. but don't hold me to that.

I have brought parts and tractors from him in the past he has loaned me special tools when needed.

Geo Whut's a Baccer setter.

One side totes water you drop the plant in the other side push it in the ground pull a leaver to open it up. The plant falls in the hole and its given a little water. The trick is when you pull it out of the ground the mechanical jaw/nose of the setter does not pull the plant out of the ground. Several folks told me it was not easy as it sounds it was a art to pull it off consistently.

The planter in the pickup bed looks like it would bolt to the Cub drawbar with it mounted to the rear, and then have chains connected to the right and lift links.

I should have took more pix of his catalog he had the original bill of sale for most everything his dad had brought down to implement parts the receipts were well kept.

Another name for the hand held 'setter' is a jobber, I think. Here we call the planters setters, and the most
common is like the one that is pictured on the back of the Ford2000, still used today, a lot of the time 2
setters hooked side by side to a tool bar 4 riders doing 2 rows. But it looks like that tractor has
underslung exhaust, which is bad for the guys 'riding' the setter. There have been cases of people getting
sick riding the setter all day from carbon monoxide.
My wife told me a story of her Dad setting/planting 2-3 acres with one when she was little one when the
ground was too wet to get a tractor on it. On our farm we used a IH140 with the setter, and then removed it
after setting, and put on the cultivators to 'plow'/cultivate the tobacco for weed control. Mark.

Very interesting show,we went last year,just couldnt go this
year.thanks for the pictures

I seen it posted on facebook but passed over it... A friend called me looking for a part and told me the show was at Chucks house. I had not been to his place in 20 years and been meaning to stop by.

My garden is coming in strong and the grass needs cutting so little time : (

I guess that's why you need a dozen of those Farmalls... I don't take anything off once I get it set up for what I want it to do that's all it has to do : ) Life is good...
