20 acres done in one day. At one time we had 8 mowers in the field. As expected the farmer's wife put on a huge feed at days end. Work well satisfying. Attachments:

I put a lot of miles on one of those, but not with a team of horses. I also put a lot of miles on an old binder!! Just earning my supper and bed!! Learned a bunch about a pitchfork too.  |

Never did any horse drawn work, but an M farmall is pretty close with a steering wheel that was out to kill you and a thirst for gasoline that would put a leftist in a nuthouse 😂
Cool photo’s thanks for posting…. I’ll snap a photo of my Minnesota mower later today 😎

We had a Minneapolis Moline till I left home at 18 years old! The last 5 or 6 we had an Allice Chalmers with a Farmall front end and loader to clean the feedlot.

Narrow front wheels were together, could turn real sharp.
