Ferguson Forage harvester

Al.

I've got a couple of factory b&W photos of the forage harvest, including one with an engine mounted on it. If you will e-mail me with your e-mail address, I can send them to you as attachments. If you send me your mailing address I will send you hard copies. I'll also send you, at no cost, the article on these machines.

The August 2002 issue of Ferguson Furrows had a comprehensive article about this machine and its twin, the B-EO-20 Baler, both with the same basic design and called "Tractor Mate." Both were semi-mounted.

Back issues of this article are available for US$2 to the US and US$2.35 to Canada. Send cash, US checks or Postal Money orders only (not bank money orders) to Paul Nelson, PO Box 3029, Chino Valley, AZ 86323.

The Tractor Mate that I have in question looks to be the Side mounted Harvester with 52 inch cut and 48 inch windrow pick up. It doesn't have the Ferguson engine on it but that's not saying it isn't tucked away somewhere. Will have to look around. I read that the quick type hitch is needed to couple and run this implement. I will also look for this. Pulled from behind but supported from the side.

I have not gone and had a good look yet but I believe it to be the type that fist on the side wheel and drives from ground speed or with the auxilliary Ferguson engine mounted on the back side. Any way the gentleman is giving it to me., for the reason that I restore and I am willing to put a donation plate on it.
