Love. How it's pulled with the best tractor for small guy the Ford is the best small tractor we have a 3910 just like that and about 10 more ford's and all don't owe us any thing blue fords where great tractors
My dad had one brand new. 1967 or 68 model. Had until 1989. Had the scour kleen on it. Did 150ac a year for years. Had a pick up head on it. We swathed all our crop. Did a great job on grass seed too. Others in the area had 80's and 402's
I was going to order one of these brand new in 1976, but, they discontinued them before they could fill my order. This model was probably built in the late 60's or early in the 70's. This one was in that time frame, not from the fifties.
We have a grain mill. I love fresh bread. Completely organic wheat is way better. I bet all this gluten allergies boils down to chemicals in commercial wheat.
Don't know where you are located but it isn't in Nebraska where I live. I grew up planting and harvesting wheat. Proper soil preparation to make sure there aren't any weeds growing when you plant will help and doesn't use chemicals. Also thicker planting. The wheat should be planted at a rate of 120 lbs per acre. A thicker stand will crowd out the weeds that come up with the wheat. There are smaller combines. When I was a young lad many people harvested with an Allis Chalmers all crop harvester. The cutter bar was only five foot wide. They were also powered with the tractor power take-off. However, the reel that brings the crop in to the sickle bar was powered with a chain that ran from the combine wheel to the reel. Reel speed depended on how fast you drove.
I paused the video when I made my first comment so I'm going to add another. Your acre of wheat should be producing 10 to 20 bushels per acre. You should be able to get this yield without the use of chemical fertilizer or herbicides. You probably could do even better if you have access to manure of some sort, pig, cow, horse etc. Poultry manure is the most potent and will produce the best results. Also when harvest is done controlling the weeds with tillage will reduce the weed seed load for the coming year. Alternating wheat with another crop will slow the development of insect infestations and plant disease problems.
Thank you for your comment. We did get almost 3 barrels which hold 6 bushels each. The cover crop is mixed clover, the fertilizer is a combo of horse, cow, goat and chicken and yes the soil was tilled and well prepped before planting. Blessings
That is a big machine for the time.

No, we bush hog it back to feed the soil.

Thank you!
Beautiful

You are absolutely right! People think they gluten intolerant when they are really roundup intolerant. Blessings
They were built 1966 to 1974
What a pretty harvest!! Its so funny how just so much of one thing can be soo pretty
Oh thank you, so nice of you to say. Blessings

Oh and how much do you go through in a year?

I would love to see all the steps you do to make it into flour.
