That George White, of all the machines I've ever laid my eyes on, from cars to planes to mining equipment, that George White is my favorite. The slim boiler, the green, red, and black paint job, even the smell, it will always a special place in my heart.
@@FarmBoy-1950 No. For a combination of reasons, they didn't have any large scale agriculture until quite recently. Even now they combine with rigs that we would only use for test plots. And that's the custom combine outfits! Any farmer that does his own uses a 15hp thresher: remember that don't own the land in China, they get one plot and anything beyond that they have to lease. It's a whole different world.
Cool seeing horses working..They still work teams sweeping hay in the Sandhills of Nebraska..I sold draft horses back in 70's to a fella in Arnold..He had 30,000 acres..

We used to thresh oats with threshing machines. My father in law taught me to use used motor oil for belt dressing. Use sparingly and let it soak in before giving it a load. It works great and is not hard on the belt like belt dressing. It's good for the belt. Former Amish man.
When I was a kid I asked my dad what those were. his dad had one in 29 I think he said grampa payed 200. for and worked it until 1936 we still have it sitting on the farm
When I was younger there was a steam engine just sitting in the field and I asked my buddy what is up with that. He said grandpa and the neighbors brought the feed to the engine not the engine to the feed
