Attached pics show how we used to thrash back in the late 50's, 60's and even into the 70's. I have never heard of anyone else thrashing this way. Anyone on here done it like this or heard tell of anyone doing it similar? So I am pretty sure its because Dad had invested a lot of money into new Dion harvester, wagons etc and had a kind of partnership on the Dion thrashing machine with my uncle Harold Meyers ? Unfortunately I don't have a good pic of the machine as its in on the barn floor. I am sure that by the time the grain had went thru the harvester and then the blower to blow it into the thrashing machine there wasn't much thrashing left for the machine to do! Dad claimed there was very little grain loss, and he did it like this for two decades, so I guess it worked well for him. Worst part to me was forking loose straw out of the mow down to the barn floor then down the hay chutes then bedding up all the pens. When I'd complain Dads answer was usually forking a bit of straw in the winter is a lot easier than stook thrashing.

For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
