That's it.

Usually took out both. Pickup one direction, feeder trailer the other.

After a few years that damned conveyor gets too much slack to take up with the adjustment. Had to fix that, and shim it up!

And city folks wonder how farm and ranch kids learn to drive at such young ages... smile


One of my earliest memories is standing with both feet on the clutch of the tractor and pulling myself down using both hands on the steering wheel, and waiting for Dad to come up and take it out of gear. Probably five or six, because he would come get me since I was the only kid not in school yet.....

I grew up in an orchard, and one of the jobs was picking up the cube boxes of apples and bring them to the barn, which we did with a 45 HP Eicher orchard tractor with pallet forks on the three point hitch. Rows were 300 yards, so by the time you got to the last boxes in the row, you were backing up 300 yards, full throttle, hi range reverse, barely looking back. Usually an hour or two after school from September through October, sometimes into November.

Backing on the driving test wasn't much of a challenge.
