We cut red clover for a lot of years with AC 60 combines, Always a crop of hay then second was cut for seed. Dad always liked to mow and dry down and rake and run that way. We never had a pickup for the platforn, the grain way would pickup up that clover with out losing any I could just see a lot of seed being waisted in the mowing and raking and talked him in trying to direct cut, yield went up. We had wood flat bed wagons and put it on at about 5-6 inches thick and every day would go out with a shovel and stir it around till dry. Took to local seed house and had it cleaned a lot later after cutting. They had a big Clipper Fanning mill to clean. All was cleaned and we kept what we wanted and sold the rest. Also did same thing with timothy. Now you try to cut the clover seed with a timothy screen you WILL NOT GET ANY SEED as the clover is just slightly bigger than the timothy and will not go thru the timothy screen. I do not know what that scarify is. We had 3 different AC 60 combines over the years. Did not cut any grass-clover seed after 1980 when dairy heard left. I know mamoth and sweet clovers required different settings but we never had those to harvest. And no scour cleans on any combines. I do know the Massey Harris combine would not harvest clover seed due to different type screening.

Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
