implement question for a show H

what was I saying again?

Oh, and some won't care, and will walk on by. So, what could my tractor "do" while sitting there for the crowd? Well, I could run it, so they could hear it. But that's good for about 2 seconds of interest. But what if I hooked the belt pulley up to a...

a what? That's the question. What implement, or machine, or gadget, would be an interesting companion for the tractor for fairs? Something for people to watch and smile at? Some "Willy Wonka" factory machine producing candy came to mind, but then I realize that I have to live in the real world. I have no clue what possibilities there are for this, and I'm hoping you good folk will have some ideas.

So I kinda think if you could get say the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders to help you there would always be a crowd around. Let us all know if this option is chosen as well as a list of the shows you will attend. JUST KIDDING EVERYBODY you should all know me by now, my probation officer said I'm doing better.

OK now for the real answer you wanted. I run a few rock crushers at our local show and at times the crowd gets pretty thin and few pay attention. We have found that the big crusher that takes very little power when running is no big deal. But when we take a A JD and twist her tail and put it on its knees to start the big flywheel, and at times a man must just help turn the flywheels a half turn to start it in motion, that folks will come over to see what is going on. Most of the full power and alot of noise is nothing more than showing off and not so necessary, but it sure helps draw a crowd. The A JD will run this crusher at a very slow idle after the flywheel makes a few rounds.

By the way the rock crushers are more coperative than my ex-wife ever was, (not to mention her mother)--or will probably ever be for that matter. Bless her little heart an all.

I'll take it to e-mail.

Here ya go. Is 1900 gallons big enough? I can deliver. For more info, search on "Calmac" at eBay. No need to bid on that unit. We can work something out.

When I go to a fair, I like to see "Living history". Those are the attractions that pique my interest. I'd like to do the same with the antique I plan on taking one day. Cart before the horse? No. I'm not pulling the trigger. I'm asking a question, and generating some conversation about it so I learn more about this hobby.

So, please, what implements sat still and did work that a crowd could watch and take interest?

I didn't.

And where is home? I see you as a wanna-be who will never be. You HAD a tractor and you SHIPPED it. Or maybe you didn't have a tractor but you shipped it anyway. I dunno, Mike. Your story is so implausible that it does resembles the plot lines, as you. yourself. have said, a soap opera.

Anyway, lighten up.

A wanna-be what, exactly? Farmer? No. That's just not going to happen. Tractor guru? No. Maybe someday I'll be able to answer a question with experience rather than asking them. But I have no such appetite to be an expert like the ones I've come to respect in here. I just won't ever have the real world experience or time on the machines. I'm not sure what niche you categorize yourself where you decide who gets to be part of your clique. I've never took the crowd in YT to be the excluding type. So maybe you are a clique of one. And if I "will never be" part of an exlusionary, elitest, disrespectful club you run, then I'm all the better for it. I seriously don't know what has driven your disdain for me, such as it is. But I can't say I'm a little shocked by it. My story may be implausable to you because you wrote me off long ago, and don't care to listen or help. Maybe if you came down from the mountain, you would see that I'm really not that bad of a guy at all. Maybe not what [u]you[/u] would want to call a friend, but hardly worth "enemy" status. When I came onto this forum and told folks who and what I am, I wasn't run out. I was welcomed. An outsider with zero ag knowledge wanting to dip my toes in this hobby. If you are upset I am here, then take a look around at the folks who welcomed me and keep me coming back. If you want me gone, then maybe you should turn off your computer. Because you are stuck with me, and I don't back down from a bully.

Either that or do stunt wheelies like you were riding a motorcycle.

I just deleted 4 paragraphs of explanation. I doubt you will read it, and honestly, I don't feel I need to explain myself to you. If you disagree with an outsider such as myself getting into this hobby, fine. But I'd rather you just keep it to yourself rather then continuing with your not-so-sublte abuse.

I might have to rig something of the sort for mine for the car shows I go to. I'm really visualizing this here. Two big a*s oak buckets on a 3pt rig with a low speed gearbox turning the paddles.

..... .....I'm gonna have to write this one down for later ;)

Thanks for this one!
