Chebanse, IL..... | Some new & old.....
Grandfather disking w/horses in 1937. He was on a David Bradley (Sears Roebuck & Co) disk made here in Bradley IL. This photo appeared in 1937 Sears catalog. Our farm had only "horse-power" until 1946.
Uncle disking in 1953 w/IH SM & David Bradley straight disk:
Not an action photo, but I was getting ready to head out w/our new (plastic still on seat) 1206 & IH 560 6-16s. Brother Larry sitting on plow
Our piggy back hitch. Though labelled 1960, this is probably 1961. JD 720D/IH SM, Oliver pipe plow, 6-16s.
Brother Larry plowing with our JD 8430 & DMI Hydra-wide 7 btm, on-land. Probably late 1970s.
All 3 of our plows in mid-70s. Brother in front w/8430, then Uncle with 4630 & 5 btm, then me with 4440 & 4 btm. All DMI Hydra wides
Current day.....2017 Half Century of Progress. I'm plowing with our IH400/IH M piggy-back pulling Oliver pipe plow 4-16s. Son Kurt behind me w/our IH 450 & IH #60 3-16s
Brother Larry on our 1206 w/IH 700 5-16 plow
I've got lots & lots & lots more, but no time to post more now. You can view them in my photo album & YouTube links below.
