Looks like fun.


On your signature note I do have a couple of questions:

What kind of cat and what size barrel?

If it's a house cat and a .22 barrel, that will work.

A puma and a wine barrel I would like to see video of.

I was having to pull out clogs where the may pops were thicker than the corn.
 
Drove by one of these for sale the other day but I think it was a 2 row head instead of a one row... My wife told me to buy I should buy it and the wagons with it but I had to point out to her that we didn't have any corn to pick and probably wouldn' anytime soon, lol... Oh well, only way to buy them these days is very well used...

:lol: Ha! You sure are wearing the T-shirt. That's just too funny! :lol:
 
I have done it by hand when I was a small boy. I usually got the down row as the mules pulled the wagon. I wonder how many corn cribs have been filled with equipment such as yours and also by hand. We filled ours(corn crib) for the hogs and mules. It took a lot of scooping from the wagon to the crib.

Those are just southern-style fringeless denim chinks. :wink:

Good pictures, Alabama. It's always interesting to see how agriculture is done in different parts of the country. Thanks for posting.
 
I'm glad to see someone else wearin "chinks" like those. Mr Lilly and his cut off Wrangler chinks kill me sometimes. Not only are my legs whiter than white because i wear jeans all the time, I can't wear shorts because the skeeters will tote me off. They don't bother him at all.
 
Bama: Thanks for the tour; was trying to figure out what snapping corn meant and now I know. BTW if that viney stuff is buckwheat make sure and keep the seed waaaaay south as it is supersized compared to what we can grow up here!! But our cows do eat the stuff so maybe it ain't all bad! :wink:
 
"Bama-
Got one of them "old" JD 2020s (w/47 loader)myself. I consider it the work horse of the place. Use it more than the big, new fancy ones. In some cases, Old is definitely good. :wink:

Most of the weeds that are growing in the corn are, Maypop, Morning Glory and Johnson grass. The field was clean until the corn dried down and let the sunlight in.
