THE PLOUGH BOY
The plough boy wends his merry way
and whistles up the sun today.
Yesterday he made it rain,
and ploughing was postponed again!
Tomorrow if his notes are low
Perhaps we will be in for snow.
But if his tunes are all displeasing
Expect a bitter morn-with freezing!
Yesterday we rode out to Kings Farm and got some apples that they still have. 1/2 bushel of Honeycrisp. We love them and now 1/2 price till end of Febuary.
Happy Sliders Sunday.
This is a White Farm Equipment Tractor. Since I had never run across one of these, I looked up the company.
“In 1969, Oliver, Minneapolis-Moline and Cockshutt were merged to form White Farm Equipment with headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois.
In 1975, Oliver, Minneapolis-Moline and Cockshutt were folded into the White brand. The green of Oliver, red of Cockshutt and yellow of Minneapolis-Moline tractors was replaced by the silver tractors of White's Field Boss line.
The agriculture market hit a severe recession in the early 1980s, and TIC sold WFE to Allied Products.” - Wikipedia
So from what I can determine this tractor is a 1975 to early 1980’s model. It is starting to show some age and a bit of rust.
This 19403 tractor is postioned in the village of Thirlby by the ford at the river. It rarely never moves other going to shows but the local farmer starts up every other day and it works as new. Things were made to last back then.
A few weeks ago the farmers were very busy because of the harvest time. When I was driving home I saw this Tractor and thought this could be a nice picture :-)
Since the year 1964, Schlüter was specialized in tractors of the upper power range. At that time, that meant engines till 320 hp. Quite an exception in that era were tractors which obtained four tires of the same size, represented by the Super Trac series. The Profi Trac series were equipped with four equally sized tires, mounted on two steerable axles instead of just one. The rear axle of this Profi Trac tractors could steer in the opposite or same direction as the front axle, as well as steering not at all. In 1978, a unique specimen was built, the so-called Profi Trac 5000 TVL with 500 hp. At its appearance, it was regarded as the most powerful tractor of entire Europe. Later on, 184 Euro Trac were built, until the Schlüter company went bankrupt.

Far better known for their tracked vehicles, The Cleveland Tractor Company also produced a wheeled tractor, The General, of which this is the tricycle row-crop version. The General was introduced in 1939 but in 1941 the model was taken over by B.F. Avery and then by Oliver in 1944.

More work on the farm, this time collecting the grass to be taken away to become silage for the winter months. Watching these two tractors and drivers working together with perfect timing was fascinating. One is picking up the cut grass and depositing it into the moving trailer via the straw blower. As one trailer filled up another was on hand, attached to another tractor to take its place so there was no slowing down of the process. I can think of worse ways to spend a spring evening.
