The 2394 chopped the corn for the silo on less than 80 gal. of diesel and the 400 blew it up on 10 gal. The 970 burned 4-5 gal/ per hour on the chopper, and the 2394 about 5-6, but the 23 used about 30 gallons less to fill the silo. Pretty efficient I think. The fact that the 400 runs so good after I did a complete engine overhaul is proof positive that any numbskull can rebuild a tractor engine. LOL The last pic is the little woman helpin me haul the loads. [Reply]   [No Email]

The corn looks so green compared to the corn around these parts of NWIA. Marilyn grew up driving the baler and milking cows but I doubt if I could get here do do those jobs now. Especially the milking! Jim [Reply]  [No Email]

Older brother and I would get out of milk'en. It took about 16 hrs. straight to fill one "blue jar" Thee ole 700 would blow afew sparks now-n-then. I'd see them 530 headlites bounce'n my way. I'd grab anothere gear( if she could handle it!!!} Jon thanks for the pic's, brings back great memory. Looks like you got some good looking help there. Sorry for rambling.
