You chopped it down and stored it last fall. You couldn't blow it into a silo because you don't have one. You don't have a combine that can take down corn and remove the grain. What do you do?
Here's what you've got:
Sam Mulkey Hay O-Vator
An electric conveyor belt for lifting hay into a barn. (This is one like it.)
Allis Chalmers All Crop Model 66 Harvester Combine
You normally pulled this with a tractor to harvest oats or wheat.
Allis Chalmers Forage Blower
A powerful blower to lift chopped stuff into a silo. You would hook this to a belt from a tractor to to run the blower and conveyor belt.
International Harvester Model H
This bigger tractor has a pully on the side that hooks to a belt.
Allis Chalmers WD-45
This powerful tractor had a power-take-off shaft to supply energy to the combine.
Allis Chalmers Model C
This smaller tractor could pull the hay wagon out into the field.
1948 Ford Truck
With the high sides that have been plugged with additional boards you can haul grain with it.
Hay Wagon
This had removable sides so you could store forage or keep bales from falling off.
And here's how it works like one of them "Rube Goldberg Devices"
The operator uses a fork to pull the corn from the crib into the bale lifter. It drops into the stationary combine powered by the WD-45. The combine separates the corn from the cob and ejects the waste into the forage blower powered by the H. The waste is blown into the hay wagon. The Model C would pull the trailer away when it was full to be unloaded. The grain is deposited into the combine and then loaded into the truck.
And it lookED like this:
Today, one guy chops down the corn, removes the grain and loads it into a truck. He does a hundred times more volume in less than half the time.
