I don't have any idea how the cutter bundled the stalks and tied them and then tripped it out for later shocking. It was a noisy machine and I was very young so it was and amazing thing to be around. Dad pulled it with a AC UC model tractor and I thought it was the prettiest Tractor in the neighborhood.
