Harold: As I said in earlier post, I have never been up close to this companies equipment. I have never been around Hi clear tractors a lot. I know even less about edible bean pickers. This company was in the canning business. They were about a 100 miles from me and a classmate friend of mine used to grow probably 10% of his farm under contract with them, company doing the harvestng. The first harvesters I remember seeing them with were mounted on 400 and 450 hi-clears. May be even MV's I know most of those were scraped by company as my friend got me 4 wheels from there that I used to dual my 560 and 656. I was in the area just two years ago and the current machines this company were using were hi-clear Farmalls with 06 and 56 style grills. I could tell they were not the heavier chassis of 706, 756, 806, etc. Again I was not up close, so whether the tractors were diesel, hydros, 504, 656 or 544, I am not sure. 504 was never produced as a hydro, right? The fellow I know and may take a bit to catch up with was the field operations manager with that company. He will know the answer. If it were March here in Canada I would know how to find him quickly. July will not be quick. Another place a lot of Hydros (not hi clear) went here in Canada was PEI potato industry. They built locally a self propelled potato harvester, two sizes powered by either a hydro 70 or 100. Wheels and front end was removed from tractor and it was placed on top of harvester, with heavy chain drives to harvester wheels from tractor axles. The hydrostatic power steering was tapped into front end of harvester. The operator sat 8 to 10 feet above the ground on tractor's platform. It put their driving wheels behind the harvesting unit thus allowing them to use larger tires for flotation and traction.

Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this
