When i was a kid in 4-H, our leader showed us kids a home movie, of his corn and chopping days, it was as tall as him standing on the back wheel of a UB Moline tractor,with his arm up,cant remember the kind of chopper, maybe a Gehl,but that was tall corn, i bet he loved the the live PTO ,on the UB.

Enjoyed the old videos. I can remember dad raking silage out of the wagon. About 1965 maybe he bought a front unload Gehl wagon and a New Holland blower. Niebhor had a wagon and Gehl chopper. They worked together filling 2 silos. Those were the days. RB

That would be some advanced equipment back around that time! Thanks for sharing

Looks like a lot of danger especially if there were small kids around but those were the days!

Notice how thin the people were! Manual labor!

Heck one of the selling points of the "Fox System" was that a single 14 year old boy could run the whole show by himself.

Imagine trying to use that as a selling point in this day and age! You'd get cancelled before the first commercial hit the airwaves.

Talking about dangerous and Fox equipment, Dad had a Fox Super D open station self-propelled chopper when me and my brother were real little. I'm talking 5-6 and 3-4. He let us sit on the steps and ride along while he was chopping. Again, imagine something like that going on in this day and age.
