The first 10 years I worked outside in the rain and snow. Many days it was snowing so hard that if you set a tool down it was missing in action until it melted off. Lake effect snows can come down very hard with very large flakes. You learn to carry every thing you are using in a plastic bucket so you dont loose them. Always set it under the unit if possible, or cover it. I have had to throw a tarp over me in rain and sleet. I do have a very nice warm shop now, but the farm could never have paid for it. Being a mechanic paid the bill. The ability to purchase equipment, or buildings is different across our country. Here we dont get any where close to the yields on crops, or have as nice of growing season as farmers only a couple hours south of us. In most cases their soil is also more fertile. So if I plant 100 acres of corn it takes me just as much time to plant and harvest, same cost for seed and spray, but I get sometimes half the return. I cant profit as much as the BTOs, so making a purchase like a farm shop is sometimes hard, if not impossible. Some of those multi generation guys from the corn belt just make it look easy. How can anyone ever appreciate a nice shop unless you have done without?? Al

Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. 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
