Post by: JohnyMac on June 01, 2013, 01:04:43 PM

Eventually we will have a Garden/Farming board but till then here is my newest addition. A Ford 501, 8' Sickle Bar Mower!

For you folks who are citified - Hook up your 3 point hitch tractor to this and cut a hay, wheat, barley, etc field.

Needs a bit of cosmetic work and paint but works A+ right the way it is.

TG, eat your heart out!!! :dancingBanana:

Yup it is a nice piece of iron Ron! I sprained by right arm maneuvering it out of the truck.

APX, yeah up at the BOL. You see a small piece of the woods shed, the new sickle bar and my 1040's Ford 9n tractor.

Looking about 100 yards past the tractor you can see my neighbors New Holland 4 wheel drive tractor. The cab has air conditioning and heat! If you look real closely you will also see his 1950's Massey Ferguson.

Last Thursday one of my neighbors Highlander Cows, Tess had a calf. Pictures to come.

The BOL is in the middle of NOWHERE!
