Sam What are the implements on last two pictures used for? The 3rd picture looks like what we use when mowing hay in spring to get birds to fly so we don't kill them. The government(ASCS) pays us to let birds nest. We mow late in season but have to use a system to flush birds up ahead of mower.

Sorry 4th not 3rd.

That is just as you described, it is called a Game Flusher if I remember correctly.
 

[samn40]

As Richard says it is a rare Ferguson Gameflusher, though this is a good copy,.It made £500 in the auction, A few months ago a genuine made £8000 (£1=$1.65)
The other implement is a Kale Cutrake. After the war a lot of kale was grown as cattle feed and had to be cut daily and carted in to the cows. With this invention you simply put the PTO in gear and reversed and it cut and loaded the kale ready for carting.

Trac and 7 tractors don't know it, but that's exactly the kind of loader they are both going to get...

In the first picture I noticed that there were no Ferguson emblems on the side of the hood ,just the Ferguson emblem on the front.My TO20 1950 is the same way. I have heard a lot of different reason , none were the same. Could soneone tell me the reason for no side emblems. Thank you
