it smokes ,but is still powerful

Brent Zappe · Mar 2, 2014

You talk about a barn being to close to the road. Where I live they would have thier cars in that barn. They drive fast and never slow if the sign says 40 they up it to 50 M.P.H

Good to see someone using ear corn.

rrlund · Mar 2, 2014

Hey,I'm gonna need to grind again by Saturday. I'm, getting down to the bottom of a crib where it's a little bit of work to get it out. Can you be here by then? lol

larry@stinescorner · Mar 2, 2014

if you werent so far away,I would help,would you let me drive the Oliver?

larry@stinescorner · Mar 2, 2014

Sometimes ,he bags feed,he is happy to see me,I Sit on the tractor ,work the pto handle while he fills the bags,He does a lot of things by himself around the farm,but is glad when I stop by,but if I need a hand he would stop what he is doing to help me too,

Grinding feed has always been one of my favorite things to do - especially since I don't have to shovel it in like we did when I was a kid. I look forward to it each time. I hook it to the old Farmall M. There are lots more powerful or efficient tractors around here but that's how we always did it when I was a kid. I like feeling the connection with grandpa - he was the best surrogate dad there could be.

rrlund · Mar 2, 2014

You bet I would. I always grind with the 1850.

Thanks for the pics, if I were him I'd clean the corn husks out
of the radiator area on the tractor, lol

Those IH grinders were made by Arts-Way, correct? We had an Arts-Way 400 or 420 back in the early '70s that looked identical to the one in your pictures.

fixerupper · Mar 2, 2014

It brings back memories. Ground many,many tons of feed with an Arts Way, same as an International. I had a rod hooked to the unloading auger like he does. My ears ring permanently partly because of the howl from that thing. Jim

The picture of the Oliver and grinder "going back to the barn" looks like it's a bit off course. Hope no one comes around the curve 60 mph. Glad to see these kind of pictures!

very nice visit larry , thanx for showing us around ,,,,.. are you in upstate ny ?, looks like everything was built before zoning setbaks ,lol,.//state road ?..,, any close calls or worse fatalities ? is the speed limit 25 mph or less ?...

fixerupper · Mar 2, 2014

Artsway grinders were and probably still are made in Armstrong, Iowa. I live about 85 miles from Armstrong. Went to the factory once for an unloading auger and saw Artsway, IH, and Massey Ferguson grinders lined up side by side. Mine was a 420. Arts Way got it's name because the founder's name was Art and everything had to be done his way. Jim

Great pics as always Larry. I liked grinding ear corn for feed. Makes great cattle feed. Nice looking cattle too. Thanks for the great photos.

Still lots easier than belting the old H up to the hammermill and counting shovels full of corn, oats and supplement. Even that wasn't a bad job in the winter, but not so much in the summer.

Alan K · Mar 2, 2014

Nice pictures. Thanks for posting. I see you ground antique corn...back when it used to come on the ear lol.

SweetFeet · Mar 3, 2014

Great photos.

Brings back memories of when we used to raise hogs and my husband would grind feed. Seems like a lifetime ago.

JimIA · Mar 3, 2014

Great pictures! We ground a batch of feed for the steers on Saturday. In our case it was a A-C 185 and a Gehl 95 mill.

Jim, you have that exactly correct about how the name came to be. Art Luscombe is the owner of "Arts Way". He had a brother whose name was Randall. The two of them worked together in the beginning. Randall actually lived near me here in Missouri in his later years. He and I became friends. He told me the story himself about how he and his brother worked together. The time came to "name" the company. Randall and Art apparantely came up with two different names, and Art said "NO" to Randall's suggestion! Randall said, "Well, Ok, just name it whatever you want, as it has to be "arts way" every time. And that's how it happened. By the way, Randall Luscombe was one of the smartest men I"ve ever known and he had the personality to go with it. He was a wonderful man. He's gone now.
