Farming Equipment and Methods

Photograph of a new type of pasture mowing machine which was made by W. H. DuPay from the rear ends of Model A Ford cars and pipes. The blades on the machine were removed from a one-row stalk cutter. Mowers in tandem will cut 11 feet in one month and will cut only weeds. Sprouts approximately the size of a man’s thumb can be cut. This pasture was mowed with the machine. Note weeds near the fence. These 3 mowers cost approximately $110 to manufacture. They are hitched in tandem when mowing and as moved along a road they can be hooked one behind the other with the blades inverted. W. H. DuPuy states the mowers will do the work in one day of more than 3 tractor mowers and there is very little maintenance. Wheels of the mowers furnish the power to turn the blades. The machine works on the same basis as the homemade superphosphates distributor. TX-46, 157.
