Tractors hooked in tandem

Postby Paul B » Wed Jul 26, 2006 8:32 pm

Anybody have a link to pictures of tractors hooked in tandem (front to rear, not side by side). That seem's to have been a fairly common practice or way to gain more power in the days before the high hp, bend-in -the-middle tractors.

A while back some one posted Cats hooked that way pulling a plow the size of a house. I can't find it.

Bill:

If I remember correctly it had something to do with farming in the Nederlands... (Holland), and they were deep plowing like 2 foot deep or something like that.. it was amazing..

I looked and can't find it either.. search string must be wrong... :roll:

I have seen pictures of different ones, including some Ih units that were modified for use on the prairei and plains where there was a ot of room, and fields were large. Unfortunately I don't have copies of them.

what makes my cub very rare is that it's the only one I've ever owned.

Paul, I'm gonna look thru my books and such. I do believe I have a book with pics of something that came from England, that was pretty much 2 Fordson Major's paired together. Gonna take me a few days though to look thru all my books, but if I find it I'll scan and send you the pics.

I have seen them on some of the tractor shows on RFD TV, and as John said, they were used mostly in the corn and wheat areas. I am more interested in seeing a set up where the front tractor is complete (all it's original wheels) and the front wheels removed on the rear tractor - acts as a powered trailer so to speak. One of the RFD TV shows not long ago had a pair of JD "R's" I believe, but they were paired like the ones in the link yaume posted - no front wheels on either.
