I remember that with the ground-driven binder, if you have real thick & tall oats you might have to pull away a little bit so you don't take a full cut. Even with the tractor in low gear we had to do that sometimes. Don't run that binder too fast....they were geared to operate at the speed of horses pulling it.

I drove an SC Case on one of these binders, the operator was big and fat....as a kid it was fun to watch him wince when we hit some big bumps (steel seat over the bull wheel), and of course I didn't slow down even though I hit the bumps first!

Oh, for cool drinks you need to have someone come out to you with a cold drink in a glass jar (with lid), and this was inserted into a larger tin can, with newspapers stuffed between the two containers for insulation. To own a thermos in those days was unheard of...or too extravagant.
