Had to rearrange my toy box

[Bruce from Can.]

Finished up covering a field with manure and got it all worked under. Next job was to find my corn planter. It wasn’t that I didn’t know where it was, it is just that it’s always stored at the very back of the shed. With any luck , some patience and perseverance, I will be able to make my IH Cyclo 800 plant a little corn for silage to feed my beef cows. Considering I have the planter, and harvester and wagons all just stored away . And no need to by fertilizer because I had plenty of manure, my only real out of pocket expense is the seed corn and the spraying. Naturally the fuel and time, but hey, hobbies cost money. So while I had some of my once important, now not so necessary toys out of the toy box, I took a picture. If this was 1968, you would say I was well equipped with modern machinery. I still think they look pretty decent, even though most farmers wouldn’t give them shed space.

They still look good Bruce, what year is the smaller one? Are they both diesel?

Both diesel, and near as I can figure the 730 is a 1964 and the 830 is a 1967

I have a 1963 530ck with the 188 diesel, only had it for a year and 4 months. Its been a good loader and backhoe
. They made them well back then for sure.

I’ll be ready….if I am still here, I have a 930 and 1030 also. So when the computer chip control tractors grind to a halt. My low compression, indirect injection mechanical tractors will be ready to roll, if I can get some diesel fuel

I give a 1957 Case 311RN shed space! When I get the VAS restored it will get shed space too!

Nice! I like Cases. I thought you were hiring your corn planted. Did that not work out for you?

For me all my toys are old. Planter is newest. Some years takes a half a day to move everything to get what I need out.

Those are nice tractors, would fit right in on my place

I hired all of my main crop planted , this is just a dozen or so acres for silage. My harvester head is 36” and my old corn planter is too. The cash crop corn is all 30” rows to match up with combined headers

Nothing wrong with old stuff. My mowing JD 401 B is around 45 years old. When I was doing disking for others, My AC Model M crawler was built in the late 30's. It's still running, I just use around the place. Stan
