Some different equipment

I was Down in Missouri looking at some equipment today. While I was there I saw some things that are just a little different.

1) A single bottom horse plow that had a huge moldboard for a horse plow.

2) I have never seen a GRAIN-O-VATOR wagon with a drag chain in the bottom rather than the conventional auger type.

3) A silage wagon made in New Zealand and is in Memphis Mo. It is mounted on a trailer but has an unusually unloading type and a full mesh rear door. That back door is very light duty too.

JD Seller,

That old, rusty plow would make nice yard art. Didjya buy it? :)

Would be interesting to know how the silage wagon from New Zealand wound up here.
 
Hi JD. In the late 50 s a Grain-o- Vator dealer in N. W. Ill. sold several of the " drag " style rigs. I was told that they would handle finely chopped silage .Not real sure about that.clint
 
I'm not sure that plow with the large moldboard was horse drawn. Was there a sulky behind that plow for an operator? It has the type of bottom that was used for breaking prairie sod, but that bottom was also used for turning under silt after a flood. By the strength of the beams, I'm more inclined to think that it was tractor drawn.
 
Dick if you look close it has handles to operate it. So I would assume it is made for someone walking behind it to operate it. I have never seen a plow made for tractors that used handles to control it.
 
The Grain-O-Vator feed wagons were pretty popular in this part of the country, mostly the larger flat bottom ones (Model 60, if I remember correctly) that had a cross type elevator on the front. These were mostly used to feed silage. My brothers and I used one for years and fed silage to beef cattle with it everyday during the winter. The auger type were also pretty popular for feeding cattle, mostly grain rations.
