Growing up grandpa had one of us grandkids ride in the gravity box to level the corn so he could get more on each load so it was fewer trips hauling the corn on the road. Sure miss him every day.
We used to plant black eyed peas every year and didn't always have an excess of seed. So I used to go back and forth between the planter hoppers raking seed into the moving parts to keep an even stand. Sonetimes I would ride the planter itself while daddy drove the tractor
We used to grow strawberries up to 1/3 of an acre until the blood labor grew up and left. To make strawberry rows you had to ridge the ground and shape the row. We had a sheet of flat steel shaped like a saddle with two hooks on it for tying ropes for towing and hanging on. Daddy would tow me on the saddle and i would move the saddle from row to row. It was a fun job much more than laying strawberry plastic the hard way.
Man i just seen one of these on my local craiglist! I wanted to get it badly! But I'd be more suited for the 2 row New Idea really. But man it was tempting! lol Super neat.
when I was a kid, a lot of the older farmers I knew were hard of hearing from operating older open station equipment. Now they put straight pipes on them to make them louder.
A 1206 is a turboed 806, I ran a 806 with a muffler for a neighbor really made my ears ring all night and wake up with a ring. He also had a 1066 straight pipe it didn't wrak my hearing as bad. Oh yah that 806 smoked like it burned tires
@@flyingled3176it’s not all the same. They only had the same engine but turboed. The bull gear was bigger, the transmission housing and the gears were stronger so they didn’t blow apart, because keep in mind this is construction equipment grade turbo like what’s on they’re massive trucks and dozers Ih built thats on the 1206 so it creates a lot of torque, and the tires were especially different. They are specially made tires because the original ones peeled off the bead during testing.
Depending on the attachment, some just harvest the ears whole. Some have a sheller attachment on them, too shell also. Our machine just picked the cobs.
A very good video. Its too bad that IH didn't remain being their own company. Today with Case IH, their tractors are all painted black on the chassis, which I don't really care for. If oil leaks somewhere on the chassis your not gonna notice it right away.
To you Rickie McKillip, you are 100% correct, and I mean that truthfully. When I made my comment I forgot that the top management at IH messed things up for the company in the early 80s--at least from what Ive been told. On top of that Case was really not able to compete on equal footing with John Deere.At any rate Case IH puts out darn good machinery.
Born to shovel: The NI’s don’t lose much corn . The corn needs to be dry and hard and snapping rolls need to be adjusted properly. Loose kernels are captured farther down the process and sent up the elevator. Go slow on the turns and you won’t lose any. 1:25
