I tell people that dont know anything about this all the time, but no one seems to appreciate it. My Grandfather, who I am getting ready to restore my first tractor with, an old H just bought from this site, was called the greatest natural engineer ever. He built self-propelled haywagons out of school bus frames. Stripped down, wooden deck with conveyor chain down the middle, and a hydraulic conveyor snout on it with a gate on the end. They custom hayed in SE Kansas in the 60's and 70's. Grandad baled mostly, but it was a true site to see my uncles and their friends on this machine work a field. Flying! The snout raised up and down, and had conveyor attachments for taking high into stacks/sheds. Still have one of tehm left on the farm, but is in dire shape. Kinda sad to see. One time Uncle Bruce let me drive back from a field sitting on his lap, (was probably 8) and I didn't steer so well and lost some bales off the side. I've always thought that was the greatest contraption I have ever seen. Anyone ever heard ofor seen one? We called ours The Monster. Happy Hayin!!
