BTO I worked part time for had two #44 spreaders, one with the normal twin beaters and the wide spread, the other had the big drum beater which I liked better. He loaded when I first started working for him, he had a little CASE 420 Construction King loader tractor, BIG 1500# block of concrete on the back, and chains year-round. I liked the #44 spreaders, but didn't like the worn-out A or 60 I had to pull the spreaders with. Dad loaded with the M with live hyd & power steering and Stan-Hoist loader, pulled the old Deere #R spreader with the '39 Farmall H till it was traded for a '54 Stage 2 Super H. I started loading the spreader after 2-3 years. Even with the trip bucket I heaped that old spreader WAY beyond rated capacity. We normally spread in fields real close to the buildings, but the last couple weeks on that farm I worked cleaning out the loafing areas of the back barn that hadn't been cleaned since before I drove the spreader. I had to haul to the farm we were moving to over a half mile away. Comparing the loaded spreader to our loaded Heider auger wagon with 5500# of ground hog feed, the spreader was every bit as heavy as the feed wagon. Dad told me one winter he was spreading with his other M, snow had drifted down in the bottom of a slough, He tried to spread through the snow and the tractor & spreader broke through the frost, Tractor was sitting on the horseshoe drawbar and spreader resting on it's floor. He borrowed a straight truck from a guy he drove for hauling livestock, loaded 8-10 feeder cattle in it, drove out to the tractor & spreader and was actually able to pull it out. Goal was to get it out before it got froze in, mission accomplished! I never had a problem spreading, never got stuck, broke the spreader.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
