We've owned a couple... one (well, a few) as irrigation pumps, and one in a self propelled chopper. Good steady power at high RPMs. Actually, pretty easy on fuel.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
