OT but had to add. I bought this farm in '79 as my first rural experience. I had a 3 generation farmer friend up the road that just loved to pull tricks on me since I was the new guy to farming and was illiterate essentially.
However on this occasion I had some corn stalks and had acquired a fair sized mill from somewhere but had no way to power it. I asked for his help and he was quick to oblige. He said he would be over the next day "bright and early".
I think it was 6 am sharp and I hear his tractor passing the house. I hurriedly dress and get out there to do my part. He had about a 20' belt, I think it was about 6" wide and a JD B as I recall.
He hooked it to the mill and wound up the Deere. The sound was pretty intense and the old popper was a poppin with the mill a screaming.
At his motion I started feeding the stalks and it was a "gulp" gone, ready for another. He explained to me that with the large flywheel on that tractor and the 20' length to the belt he had a tremendous amount of kinetic energy stored in both and when a wad of stalks hit the blades, it was a piece of cake to eat em up.
