East Kansas, DeSoto | Daughter works at assisted living center in a rural type small town with both types of care for the elderly. Today they were to have "Farmers Day" and wondered if I could bring over my restored 49 B John Deere. Was a beautiful outdoor weather day. Interesting comments. "But our tractors were Red" "When Grandpa got his we plowed 18 acres in 24 hours." I remember team of horses on walking plow struggle to get one acre per day. My first B figured close to one acre per hour. When I left the farm in the 50's had Cockshutt 570 pulling 5 16s. Hasn't time changed today.. Gifford | |
