Pretty sure the 1855's all rolled off the same line. Minnie Moline's, Oliver and Cockshutt all on the same line for a while.

Same tractors,cockshutt is canadian build,oliver is US build.Yes, saddle tanks,50 gal all 3 full,one can cut or bale a 1/4 section with fuel to spare.

That vermeer has so many mods,even vermeer himself wouldn't recognise it

Peace River country -- beautiful!! Seems like everytime I roll thru theres flock's of geese flying up and down the river and deer thicker than ticks!

Sure is nice to see all those pics from around the country! :thumbsup:

Been below zero here for the past week and today it warmed up to around 10-12F and snowed! Really looking forward to green grass again...

Well I can not compete with all the modern equipment, but here is a 2nd week in November picture near sunset when it was unseasonably warm. I was raking up some drought damaged hay for shredding that was not worth baling with a 1950 John Deere A (tractor relativley new to me)and a 1938 John Deere 594 hay rake that I have totally refurbished last year with all new bolts, paint, and homemade bushings where needed (one of two 594's that I have totally refurb'd for my use).

Congrats on a really nice restoration.

When do you plant? Harvest? One cutting per season or more?

Two cuts is normal but occasionally 3 is possible, Just been too wet through june/july so first cut has been very late the last few years making 3 cuts imposssible.

We just cut the strings and feed the pieces just like you feed little bales or you can feed in a ring just like a round. Some dairies grind but many just throw the chunks in the TMR mixer.
