1937

Here's a better picture of the '38 F-14 I picked up last month. Probably going to take the saw off and put it on the F-12 and sell the F-14 on



And my '36 F-20

Nothing wrong with saws like that
They are as safer than any chain saw unless you are a idiot

Has a sliding table that you can kind of see in the picture below. I've got one that flips up on my H Farmall

There was a little girl out near my grandparents that was killed 30-40 years ago by one, helping her dad cut firewood. He looked away and she got too close, it sucked her scarf in and pulled her head in. I think everyone in the county has heard the story because I heard about two dozen different people at the auction say that's the kind of saw that got Leland's daughter.

It's not something that I use too often, just think it looks neat mounted on the tractor. My chainsaws are much more convenient.



I also came home with a hand-operated drag saw, something I have never seen before...

Similar to this



Identical to the one in this video

They say a chainsaw is the most dangerous tool sold in the hardware stores. I would say it's usually operator error...

This Regular with one-row corn picker and hopper is what I went to the auction for, but unfortunately for me it sold for $3200. Probably a good thing as it wouldn't fit through any door I have  :D

Iron tires .... nice, but I don't think that one is capable of actually "hopping" on your trailer all by itself. I suspect that you gave it a bit of incentive
and possibly even hopped it on there yourself!   ;c)

Not staged, the blade would just follow his crack and do no damage  ;) :D

When new rubber is more than the value of the tractor, it's the way to go  ;)

Now to make some road bands...
