I wonder how many of today's farmers could handle farming like this? The Palouse is a wheat farming region south of Spokane, WA. If you have never been there, you should make a trip out at least once in your life. It is amazing they can farm hills like they do!

Has anyone seen a plow like this? Looks like it has been modified to handle a lot of trash

I'd like to see a plow like that a little better. a design I never seen before. would work great for tilling in bio mass in an organic operation.

Salt, you do that with damp hay also to keep it from rotting and/or spontaneous combustion. Wet hay has burnt many a barn. It gets really hot in a day or two and will eventually burn!

When i was young we would disk on hil so steep that you had to keep the upper track on a d6 headed up hill so it would not tip over.We would sack oats on them same hills if you never worked in the back sacking your missing a lot. Now the have houses all over the hills in the east bay of San Francisco. How meny of you stil have a sacking neddle?

Thanks for posting Eldon,very cool video.What is that plow doing.Does it have mech. way of keeping plow from plugging? Also are those weeds he is plowing under?
What are all those young men doing running that equiptment?Don't they know they can get hurt.Wonder how old that young man driving that truck was. My exgirlfriends 14 year old son told me he could not mow the lawn because it's too dangerous.LOL
I gave my brother a book that had alot of photos of early horse drawn harvestors.Some rigs had 40-60 horses/mules dragging an early harvestor across huge fields inn East Washington State.The whole machine would run off a bull wheel.I read that it took up to 1/4 mile to get it going,slowly engaging different parts of the machine until all parts were turning.Extremely loud and dirty.
Would love to see that part of the country someday.Harvest time.Talk about a sea of gold.

I watched all the videos by 908Harris this afternoon...I like the way he put them together. It is great when someone thinks ahead and captures history on film. My dad was into the Super 8 films in the 60's and 70's....my brother put them on CD, I should work on getting them on youtube.

Thanks for posting those, Eldon. Brought back a lot of good memories. I remember driving the old Ford grain truck when I could barely see over the dash or reach the clutch! Everybody had a job at harvest.
We took a trip through the Palouse country about 20 years ago to visit friends in Redmond, Or. It was just start of harvest and those sidehill combines were something to watch!

Eldon,
Thanks for the videos. Also, thanks for the pics of the 3 point sway blocks in my post. Anyway, since you know Palouse country, I assume you know where to find Parvin WA. My grandfathers family on my father's side is from Parvin area and we share the same last name. Still have some family in the area, however we no longer personally farm the wheat on our land. Have lots of cool pictures with 50 horse teams pulling combines along those hills of wheat. Thanks.
Brad
