Caterpillar News Service: This Caterpillar 955H Traxcavator loads pine logs for use by a northwestern Florida pulpwood company.

 

Very interesting photo of the combine and the farmstead.
Looks like the combine (John Deere) had side hill capability. Never saw a Deere like that one.
Water tank by windmill must have been for "running water" at the farmstead.
Wonder what the contraption on the hillside in background just above the beginning of the feeder housing is?
What is the grain?

Like gauntjoh I remember working as the bagger on a smaller combine when we used to farm when I was a kid. The grain spout split into two chutes. In heavy grain, you had to be quick with one bag filling while you knotted the other. For the life of me now I can't remember how to tie a millers knot, although I did thousands of them to tie up the bags and drop them down the chute. Oats were miserable and buckwheat the worst in terms of one huge cloud of dust all day.

 

yikes! obviously pasting that pic didn't work! how do i delete it?

seyser, those are some very nice pics. Thank you for sharing them

     Here are some pictures of harvesting in the Adelaida region of Paso Robles, CA.  As I understand it, Caterpillar sent a photographer around to take pictures for possible use in advertising.  The Caterpillar is a Diesel 35 and the other one is how harvesting was accomplished prior  to having a tractor. The D35 was bought in the fall of 34, so the D 35 is about 7 to 9 months old in this picture. I know there where more pictures my cousin had from Cat but she died soon after sending me these. I believe it is my dad driving it, No clue who the others are. I think it is Case W model sidehill combine. They are sacking the grain, so a header man and sack sower.
