Farmers Shredding Corn
Farmers shredding corn with a McCormick-Deering belt-driven four-roll shredder run by a 10-20 tractor. Behind the tractor and on the right are horse-drawn wagons. Original caption reads: "John Bershinski, Chesterton, Indiana, went out with his McCormick-Deering four-roll corn shredder on the 30th of October and was still shredding corn for the neighbors in January. A few days only he was off because of bad weather conditions. 'The beauty about this shredder is that the fodder never gets too dry for it,' said Mr. Berschinski. 'In fact, the drier the fodder is the better it does the job. That's one reason why I am getting all I can do with it, and more.' The picture was taken on the farm of one of the customers. The old 10-20 for power he thinks is about 13-years-old. 'It runs as well as ever for this belt work,' he said. 'There seems to be no wear-out to it.'" |
