My grandpap had a used Fordson as his first tractor. It spent most of its time sitting because he said that it took longer to get it started than it took to do most jobs with the horses. He traded that Fordson on a used 9N but still did quite a few things with the horses. He did use it to run the Blizzard silo filler when filling silo as well as some other jobs. In late 1952 he traded the 9N on a new 1952 8N with a plow, drag disc, cultivator & 3 point mower. Until that time, he used the three horses to cultivate, mow and rake hay as well as pull the hay up into the barn. I don't remember them using the horses to pull the wagon with the hay loader with the horses, just the tractor. The same with the bundle wagon to pick up the sheaves for threshing. Sometime in the mid 1950's, he got rid of the last of the horses & used a 49 Plymouth to pull up the hay. About 1957 he bought a used Allis 60 combine that dad ran the first year with his WC Allis that they also had been using to run the Blizzard to fill the silo. By the following year, my uncle, who still lived on the farm with grandpap, bought a used WD Allis and a Moline 760 balor.

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Traction - by Chris Pratt. Our first bout with traction problems came when cultivatin with our Massey-Harris Pony. Up till then, this tractor had been running a corn grinder and pulling a trailer. It had new unfilled rear tires and no wheel weights. The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
