Farmer ingenuity has created some strange but useful contraptions through the years. I remember a guy in my commmunity who grafted a Wisconsin V4 baler motor onto his Farmall F20 so it added its power through the belt pulley drive as a supplement to what the standard engine could provide. It made a pretty good plowing tractor.
In the late 1940s, my Dad and two neighbors picked corn together. Ear corn was commonly stored in cribs of 500 bu. or less at that time. They were pulling a JD two row corn picker with one Farmall H, using a second H with a front loader to dump wagons by picking up the front of the wagon, and handling the ear corn with an elevator mounted on the side of an un-styled JD A. The elevator could be raised and lowered along side the tractor, maneuvered into position at the crib, and corn was brought from the field and dumped into the elevator. When a lot of farmers were still moving corn with a scoopshovel, Dad, Charlie, and Buford were handling it mechanically.
About 20 years ago, I saw pictures of a combine chassis that had a 6-row planter on the front instead of a grain head, and was being used to plant soybeans. The seed was in the combine hopper.
