Guess I wasn't the only one to abuse an old tractor! Lol!
Mike M, When we sold it, the 50 was jumping out of 6th gear. (Smile)
NY986, Yes there was something romantic about silo filling. I used to tear through the house like Cochise on the warpath to get my school clothes changed and hope to get in on three or four loads of corn before chores. It WAS a lot less physical labor than haying. AND a whole lot cleaner, too.

You just opened the wagons wide open and got out of the way. Didn't take long to put a load over the top, but yes, it was rough on the blower. Even rougher on the blower when you forget to take the 20 ton jack out of the wagon cross conveyor before unloading. She went over the top, but the blower was never quite the same after that!
Randy, I can remember as a kid being inside a silo and having the feeling it was going over by looking up and watching the clouds go by. Really was a weird feeling!
