In the early summer of 1951 my uncle that I worked for got a new Gehl field chopper, blower, and false endgate chopper wagons and we custom filled some silos in the area with haylage. One farmer we filled silo for had a new farm/civilian Jeep. His Case SC tractor had cultivators on when we filled silo for him so he wanted to try to pull the chopper wagons with the Jeep. He'd already mowed and windrowed the hay with the Jeep we were gonna chop and was pretty proud of it. Sadly, the Jeep had plenty of power but spun all 4 wheels a lot sometimes pulling a loaded chopper wagon and in a couple of situations couldn't pull the loaded wagons at all. So my uncle got the bright idea of "ballasting" the Jeep and we put 4 big "Seamless Bemis" grain bags full of wheat on the floor and seat in the back. Boy, that extra weight made that Jeep pull like a "little green horse". The farmer was tickled half to death, we got a dinner there fit for kings!
