    Very nice video quality and colour. I remember seeing a few of the big 30 foot folding table CCIL swathers here.

    Well by the condition of that machine and its age I would say it has had a good home! Thanks for posting I enjoyed that brought back a lot of memories

    They were great in the mud as they were so light! They could pretty much bounce their way through anything.

    I had an Owatonna, made here in Minnesota, looks identical, same engine, but, with a smaller header. Iloved that thing, it was a true zero-turn machine, cost next to nothing to run, and, was dead simple to fix if needed. It did a great job, and, was an inexpensive machine in its day.

      I had a slightly newer one, no cab. Those little gas 4 bangers worked in the hottest toughest crops and refused to die. Never a problem in 20 years other than tires. Eventually took the belts out and cut away a bunch of the metal so we could cut crp without swaths.

    They used to make a sprayer attachment for those swathers you took the header off and the tanks at between the two front wheels hen and the blooms went down both sides we had one on the farm when I was a kid

      That's true. We had the swather but not the sprayer attachment. Was a good swather

      I’m a younger punk with a question, lol I don’t mind getting dusty and itchy, but why did these phase out? I haven’t seen a swather used. I’m intrigued to get one for hay, compared to my haybine. Would it be a good investment

    I absolutely love co-op Ccil, but I don’t think I could live with lever steering like a dozer, I would just wipe around and spin and what is one of the levers broke lol

  • @hughperkins707
    @hughperkins707 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    They were the best cutting swather at the time, other than they had a centre drive knife that had to be maintained or the knife would break.

    • @peterloewen3201
      @peterloewen3201 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      And they left the nicest swath as well. I drove one for about 6 years. Great in muddy conditions

    • @hughperkins707
      @hughperkins707 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Peter Loewen yes they did. Versatile made a good swath too, especially the 24 ft pull type.

  • @heatmoon
    @heatmoon 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I didn't like swathing, but I much prefer using a pickup header than a straight header on the combine. Easier to transport and a crop that's dry and all mature. Plugging in heavy crops like oats sometimes was an issue but who doesn't like crawling under a combine to pull plugs out? Big knots

  • @dalepaul8153
    @dalepaul8153 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ccil also made one that folded up like a cultivator you took the reels for the centre section then you hung it on the back of it and then it folded up for transport I think it was 36 ft wide healing and still only ran with a 4-cylinder Wisconsin engine and that machine had two wheels on the back

      You're right. I remember going with my dad to an auction and looking at one. I was in total awe at the size of it and the swath it would make.
