Massey Ferguson Combine
Apparently, I now own one. All I have to do is go get.
I met a woman back in December at a workshop and we exchanged information. She owns a farm in Cabarrus county about 7 miles from us. Although she lives in Charlotte, it was the farm she grew up on and it has been in here family since 1845. She was wanting some ideas on what she could do with it to farm it more sustainably.
Sunday, Levi and I went to her farm and spent a few hours there. While she showing us around, she mentioned that she had horse manure free for the hauling. My eyes lit up. We went to look at it and it was a pile about six feet high…cool! We were coming out of the pasture and I noticed an old combine in a shed and I asked if I could go look at it.
She said she had been trying to give it away to free up shed space. That is how I ended up with a combine. Not sure what I will do with it, I still have to go and move it. The back tires are dry-rotted, I am mechanically inept, but it was too good to pass up. Best I can figure, it was made in 1962-1964, It is a similar model of this combine.
