according to what i have seen and been told, that photo seems as applicable now as 70 years ago. The all crop as advertised like the model T, small enough to be able to be used by each family. No more waiting for the big custom crew to come along to your little field. Buy your own machine and get your own crop in. Now on this website some 70 years later, guys ask what is a small affordable combine to get their own crops in so they dont have to hire it to be done, or wait for the hired crew to come by. what are your thoughts?
my grandpa started custom farming in about 1938, bought his first place in 1941 but was still hiring out the harvesting til 1949 when grandpa bought a new all crop 60 when my dad was in high school. my dad ran the combine 30 years til it was lost in a barn fire. dad loved the great job of combining it did, dad loved how well it worked on hillsides. combine cant throw the grain straight out the back when it is built on a right angel. dad loved the quick adjust cylinder speed with a handle, no tools required. plus if grain is a little tough in the morning, give cylinder speed a couple cranks for the first hour or two of combining. then crop dries out and back speed down to normal. dew start to set in late afternoon or evening, give cylinder speed a couple cranks to speed up a little and keep sample clean for the last round or two. one specific year, one neighbor had oats fall flat. flat flat. dad said you could walk around and not even get oats in your shoe laces. other neighbors wont even try to combine it but dad gives a try. the down sloping guards pick up the entire crop.
as irony would have it, i ended up somehow stumbling across an allcrop 66 when i was in high school and ran it in oats for several years before selling it in 2005 to another good home to be used and enjoyed. dad never thought he would be running an allcrop again after so many decades. dad also mentioned how much the allcrops made such a reputation. for many years, every combine salesman had the same pitch when selling their combine, saying the new combine would give cleaner samples then the allcrop. didnt matter if your old machine was an allcrop or not, they just made sure to say it cleaned better then the allcrop.
