What if it Snows?

IH , tow behind, cut 5'' wide swath, pulled by Farmall M, Had its own 4 cyl Continental engine tho. Little 5' square (open air) platform, guardrail and bench seat. grain come up and fell into selectable spout's, with a sack hung under each. Zipping right along, sitting on the stack of empty sacks as cushion. Whacking a good stretch grain flowing, sack near full. Switch the divider to throw in the other sack, unhook the just filled, tie the top with a piece of twine you had cut a bunch of earlier, hang an empty sack on the vacated side, kick the just tied out into the slide off, check to see how full the next one was.
Stand pause, repeat, depending on how fast Daddy was running the M. Make a round, kick the collected sacks in the slide off loose at same location last round. Be in line to come back to pick up and haul in after sundown. Finish, stop, unhook from combine, go hook to a trailer, go down the dropped line and load all up. Go to the house. Wash up, eat, go out and unload the trailer into the barn,
Get it all cut, bagged, barned.. Load and take to the Farm Seed and Milling Co to sell.

Hay handled about the same, but with a IH 51T self tying baler then. Cut, cure, rake to windrows, bale, haul to barn. Stack in loft, and feed down to racks
for some cattle. Throw a few bales of a 9N Ford tractor with a 3 point flatbed to 2 sheds in pastures. This during my teen years.

In say 46/48, did a share deal on hay. Man had a stationary press, .We cut with a tractor. He mule dump raked into windrows, mule buck raked up to press. We fed press with pitchforks from the pile, fed and tied wire, and off beared to a stack. He got every third bale, we only cut and some labor.

 

Three of us ole boys got tired of doing everything except depositing the profit in our names, so we threw together, opened up a forklift repair business in 1978, ran it 14 years; lived well out of it, and sold to a "name brand" dealer in 1992 . Who was just amazed at how well we had done. Strange tho, his management was not able to do as well.

 

Salud...Evidence is visible, so we will not go in to detail of how early, who spotted first, how far away, wind direction and velocity.
Who shot, how many times and at what distance. Superfluous I say, enjoy the meat...

That's 'cause you were doing it all wrong.

 

Ya know, we started and was figuring how to mark up our parts. We had heard two percent. I had bought spark plugs for I think around $1.50 each.
So, i just put them on the list at $3.00. Easy to figure, use round numbers, cool.
Looking back I credit a lot of our success in the business for staying with that two percent and not just getting greedy.
