Wha was on the side of tht 400 Farmall, a generator to run the biler motor. That would seem to be one hell of a motor to run a bAIler. Also, I saw an old F-20/30. Wonder what it was doing there?

I like those 1955 self unloading forage boxes. They were ahead of game.

This kind of think tank get togethers gives engineers the opportunity to come up with more ideas to experiment with. It's called PROGRESS!!!!!!!
