FEATURE STORY

Half-Rite, Half-Rong Tractors

Paul Dotterer and Stephen Grieb split a 1939 Allis Chalmers WC and a 1949 Deere B. They then put the odd halves together to make what they call "Half-Rite, Half-Rong" tractors.

Jacked-Up Monster Mower

Folks can't believe their eyes when they see this 4-WD "Monster Mower" garden tractor built by Tony Gernstl of Farmersville Station, N.Y.

It rides on 44-in. high lugged wheels off a 4-WD "monster" pickup, with the driver sitting about 6 ft. off the ground.

"Regular-size bales were too heavy to lift for some of my customers. Children and women can easily handle these smaller bales. "All I did was set the bale length adjustment down until I got the desired size.

I sell the bales for a little more than 1/2 the price of regular bales to cover the extra twine I use to bale them."
