Lincoln County. NC | First around here in 1964 or 65 along with not the first but a large number of Harvestore silos. Many farmers (Dad and Grampa included) didn't have tractors big enough or other equipment to make haylage, so UniSystems and Fox self-propelled choppers and Owatonna and MF self propelled mo-co's were common. The earliest Unis I recall had V6 GMC and V8 Chrysler gas engines. Our Fox had a flathead Continental straight 6 gasser. Newest Uni around here had an 8.3L Cummins.
Just about impossible to get one of those early self-propelleds to make a turn while going uphill toting a wagon behind. Not much for stopping, either.
