I don't think it's in October, I'm guessing that"s when the roll of film was developed. This post was edited by John V. at 21:19:20 12/24/12. [Reply]   [No Email]

We had a Gehl flywheel type field chopper, Gehl "long folding auger" belt driven blower and used the Gehl hardware to build false endgate wagons to haul the chopped ensilage or haylage with. It was a pretty good job "hooking down" the loads of chopped material into the blower as the endgate in the wagon was winched back. That was my job for about 3 years when we custom filled upright silos. [Reply]  [No Email]

Many of the U's and UB's had permanently mounted cultivator brackets on them in front of Grill. Bob my mechanic and friend looking for treasures in tool box Tony [Reply]  [No Email]

Is that a doll or an ear of corn on the front bracket? With the load of the chopper she should have had a real sweet sound with that pipe for a muffler. [Reply]  [No Email]
