Got a trophy, this time last year for this.

No Dundas Plowing Match this year, but last year I got, Most Original, trophy for this entry in the parade. A lot of fun. Threw some of it at people, that I knew. Hehe.

I need one of those for hauling politicians in the local parades.

Shame to ruin a nice piece of equipment.

Rick, if you're hauling politicians in anything, you have a load of s#!t already!

You might use it for excess zuchini as well.

Any Zuchini in my garden is excess.

Beautiful tractor and spreader. A politician is what my dad called a spreader always spreading mouthfuls of crap.

Nice set up Noel really looks good so whats the story is it functional did you build it I want to see more pictures

It is ground driven Gary, to turn the beaters, but its only for show. It does not throw manure. But that is the real stuff in it. I built it about 12 years ago. Use it for displays and parades. Made out of wood with some metal parts. I’ve had a lot of fun with it over the years. It was modelled from a 110 MF manure spreader and a Massey Harris Dinky toy manure spreader.

That's really cute Noel.
But I'm getting flash-backs of 50 years ago chopping the frozen bed chain loose in the middle of winter so it would turn..

Snow got so deep in the fields by Nov. on our farm no manure was spread till spring. then you had to be careful. You could get a frozen clod up side the head if you went to fast with the ground driven spreader and/or you could sink the tractor up to the axles in a spot that looked fine but was more like quick sand.

I learned how to chain up a log to get a tractor out of a wet hole. How to use a second tractor to anchor to and more ways to get out of a mud hole.

Bill did you ever bring back the memories I remember that as a kid and in the winter Dad used a team of horses on the spreader I recall being out in a frozen unplowed corn field going crosswise to the rows and the darn horses decided to take off running for home what a ride I still have little love for horses

Only horses I remember were Flicka and Trigger.
