This is the D-17 I am displaying with the 50 series cutter and wagon.  I made the corn background display but it doesn't show up to good with the glass cabinet doors.   Not sure if the 17 would be the right tractor to pull the cutter and the wagon??   Probably a question for some of you who farmed with them

hmmm.. what's a silo without something in it ! Once the silo's built, I'd like to see scale corn cobs or wheat or whatever you guys store in them ,being processed into grain(?) and then blown up into the silo.
Not THAT should keep Armand busy for what 3-4 days ??Wink

Armand, Folks,
 Our silos would have been filled with grass silage or corn silage. Which was allowed to settle and juice out the bottom, creating a very aromatic blend! Falling somewhere between sweet and skunk! Usually one was filled with corn one with grass. We were behind the times a little and the WD45 or the WD would have been the tractor of choice on our 80 acre dairy farm. Somehow my dad found time to also do custom silo filling too! Wished we would have had a D17. Sure would have been a nice addition to the farm.
Regards,
 Chris

Sugarmaker, I'm curious as to how many head of cattle your dad milked and fed from the 80 acres?

Pretty difficult to see is the picture above, but maybe if you download it and zoom in.  I bought the green stalks at Micheals that were about 2 feet long and cut them in shorter lengths to represent corn stalks.   Then I added an ear of 1/16 corn to each.  I bought the corn at Dyersville a couple years ago.  I heated and embedded a small piece of wire in the butt end of each ear.  Then cut notches in a small piece of shrink tubing to represent husks and painted each green.  Then added the ear to each stalk.   And that effort took the better part of a morning.   The cut stalks are pieces of cut tooth picks.  The base is Styrofoam carved for the rows and painted brown and black.   Don't have to be crazy but it helps!!!

I don't know how tall that silo was, but it was a tall one!   

Neighbors where I grew up farming, always felt only green tractors and equipment was the only good ones, but they had an orange round bailer, which was the best.

The Model 50 was a Forage Harvester, not a Corn Picker.

It could have a Single Row Corn Head attached that would cut the Corn Stalk off near ground level, chop it all up and blow it into the Wagon.

You could also remove the Corn Head and add a Grass Attachment with a Sickle Bar to cut and chop Hay , Clover etc.

John,
 My Dad had, at the most, 44 head of good grade Holsteins in the barn, plus calves and heifers.
 When milking good, the milk hauler had to stop and pick up milk every day as the old Dariy Kool tank was only a 250 gallon unit! We also had another farm 5 miles away that had maybe 60 tillable acres for crops and hay. Always had a group of replacement heifers at that farm too. Spent many a hour riding WD45's back and forth hauling wagons of hay.
Regards,
 Chris
