Back in '77, We didn't have the luxury of being able to spend a month getting ready to plant and after a crop failure that summer, needed to get things done for any hope of a good crop the next year. I pulled a 8' disc, 8' packer, and 8' grain drill behind a 1942 IHC TD14 crawler. The soil was sandy loam and a wheel tractor we had could not pull the hill on the north side, so we brought the crawler. It was a sight to see, don't recall taking any pictures, IIRC, it took 16 days daylight to dusk to plant 300 acres in winter wheat. We got it done with what we had.
That crawler had 4-6" exhaust pipe sticking up perhaps 2' above the hood, no muffler on tractor or hearing protection on me. I could hear the little squeaks and noises and noticed immediately if a sound changed. Some of my fondest memories of farming was seeing the wheat come up and cover the ground and see no skips or overlaps..
Interesting picture, just looks like someone getting it done with what they had.
