Great work Tom!! I thought about you today. I was walking around the farm here in southern Illinois and saw many a allcrop used cylinder bar used as a fence post and had to chuckle!!! A little rubber was still on some of them!! You should charge more since they have many uses!!! Ryan

At $62.50 each, (expensive fence post ya think?!) My customers would probably say they are paying enough....but if you want to pay more, feel free!
On a side issue,,,,my California machine order been finalized. I am going to create a stationary thresher out of one. No header, will fab a chute for feeding the crop, and a foldup deck to stand above the concave. Also some shielding from the belts. Due in August. I think I will prototype my new road speed axles and rim/tire on this one.

This is really neat - I like seeing the All-Crop built up step by step. It really lets you see what it's made out of and how it works. Thanks for posting pictures.

My father was telling me about a AC dealership in Staunton, Illinois he hung out at as a youth. He said before harvest season they had a pile of cylinder bars and canvases about 6 foot high in the parts department!! The fence posts were the old worn out bars!! Ryan

Tom, Your work is very impressive. Of course at the factory it took what, 20 -30 minutes to build an all crop? They did have all the parts and lots of labor though.
