We did a lot of "custom work" filling of silos for neighbors in the 50s and 60s. The first chopper/forage harvester I remember us having was a Case with a 4-cyl Wisconsin air-cooled motor that powered it. Many of the early choppers here in SE Indiana had their own power unit. With the Case, we used to pull it--- on reasonably level ground--- with our Super C with weights hung all over it. (I've got a photo of this set-up, if I could figure out how to post it.) Usually used the F-30 to pull the Gehl hi-throw blower, but occasionally we would pull the blower with the farmer's own tractor--- many times an H. Couldn't feed it as fast as we could with the F-30, but you could get the job done just the same. Another neighbor for years pulled a 1-row IHC #50 chopper with a souped-up (FireCrater pistons) straight H. He didn't go fast, but he got the job done.
