Just keep in mind the old grainys were made of wood. The old timers never seemed to have much trouble with storage. I store most of my grain in wagons and it keeps ok. I want to build an oat bin in the barn and it will be wood. I am curious to see what you come up with for a bin.
MarshallParticipantI will be there on saturday. It is only 1 1/2 hours from home so I don’t want to miss the opportunity.
MarshallParticipantI have a McCormick Deering and it is adjustable. If I recall the narrowest it will go is about 34″ and it will go well past 40″ wide. I wanted to set it at 30 but it will not go that narrow. I have never used it so I didn’t pay real close attention.
MarshallParticipantI wonder if the great Michigan economy is catching up with the horse prices. With the sale commision and the cost of trucking It must have some affect. I thought about sending a haflinger mare but for what she is I probably would have ended up paying to get rid of her. Hopefully I will be able to make the fall sale. Did they have the spring machinery sale yet? I should send a few pieces and make some shed room.
MarshallParticipantI had some Amish friends ask me to take them to that sale but have too much farm work right now. I usually try to make it so I will be curious to see some results.
MarshallParticipantGeoff, I hope this worked
MarshallParticipant
Here are the pictures, I hope they work. This is my first try at posting a picture.MarshallParticipantGeoff, I will see if I can get my wife to post a picture of how I made mine. I can go from directly over the axle to about 10 inches forward.
MarshallParticipantCould the tongue slap be cause from too little tongue weight? I built my forecart with and adjustable seat for different loads like a hay rake as opposed to a trailer. When I have the seat moved back for less tongue weight there is more side to side movement. Just a thought.
MarshallParticipantGeoff, there is a lot around here but when you are a “little guy” like me no one wants to take the time to haul or spread. The only way to get it done is hope someone close by is spreading some. I have started having pelletized lime mixed with my fertilizer. It has to be applied more often but it only cost around $3.00 per acre so it is not a big deal.
MarshallParticipantI used the read axle from a wagon running gear. It had cut off steel wheels with 20″ truck rims welded on.
MarshallParticipantVery nice John. That must be the young lady in training?
MarshallParticipantVery nice pictures. That looks a lot like my disc except mine is missing the scrapers. I never thought of using it for that purpose but it looks like it worked very well.
MarshallParticipantTo bad there aren’t more people as ambitious as J-L’s Dad and watch their money like Mink. Maybe we wouldn’t have so many problems with society today.
MarshallParticipantGeoff- So far sleeping hasn’t been too bad. There were a few night that were miserable but it could be worse.
