I had to look twice at this one. My dad was a poor farmer in southern Iowa and he had a two row just like this but he had an H tractor not an M. His equipment was probably bought used and it was rusted to a wine color. He picked all of his corn, two rows at a time with that wagon following behind. That is when you sold the corn unshelled, corn still on the cob. That has been restored into a great antique memory.

ReplyDeleteHow about an ornery little fella for Ruby Tuesday?
Some big boy's toy! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat find for Ruby Tuesday.
Carletta’s Captures.
The pointed ends make it look like a rocketship, ready to blast through the farm!
ReplyDeleteThis machine is so new and nicely polished that it looks like a show piece. Is it attached to a tractor to move?
ReplyDeleteAnn, it was at Bobs Corn farm, and I did not know how it was used until Larry Burgus commented on how they were used when he was a boy.
ReplyDeleteIt was not hooked to a trailer, so I assume they still use it.
this looks like one of my nephew's toys.:p gorgeous red!
ReplyDeleteNow that is a bright red big boy toy.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a wonderful contrast with the green all around. Lovely photo composition.
