Dutch, I don't think there's anyone using that small of stuff over here either. This is just for fun. I was a medium sized farmer and this was my field plow. I've seen tedders in England and Europe, but not over here, so you can call them whatever you like.

Good grief man, what do you do with all those rocks?

OI, I could tell you that I picked them all, or, ---- that I am lucky enough to have very few rocks on the whole farm. We picked rocks on some of the fields maybe once in my memory. You're right to think the plow will pull up rocks though.
I asked my brother if he had a field that we could plow a bit on and he said yes. Here we are plowing a pretty rough chunk. It was never plowed with a breaking plow, only field plows, and only once. My test was unique and finally it ended. The soil changes so much in those rolling hillocks, that I had a terrible time keeping the depth right.

A field without or very little rock is spotty around here. We've got flint that we have to deal with.
My place is pretty rocky and my Son-in-law's place doesn't have any rock at all until 3 feet down.

I've been talking about testing the tractors and plows, well this is what I was getting ready for; a mini plowday.
The Ferguson didn't cut a wide swath, so there are no pictures of it actually working. I took my daughter's Ford 5000 and a plow also so I had something to fall back on. The ground was very hard and quite wet and horrible to plow. This Ford tractor was my Dads so it is special to me.

We had an old combine day again this year. I took my '36 pick up and parked beside a '29 Plymouth. The second picture is a '41 International truck that hauled a combine down to Oklahoma during the war years, to start the Harvest Brigade and then hauled grain away from that combine, [picture three, a Massey-Harris 21].

I'm running late, but I've needed a potato hiller for a long time, so I'm building one. It started out as a potato digger, [see the spade part in picture two]. I took that part out of the three point hitch mounting triangle and made a backbone for the hiller, so that it fits into the triangle. My plan is to use plow moldboards to scrape dirt in toward the centre on both sides of the potato row. Pic three is a mock-up of some of the hiller.

MM-- Your way over my head on building implement equipment. Never used one and for sure would not know how to build it.
