WEDNESDAY MAY 22 1946 At nine this morning at the Experimental Farm we had a field demonstration of three #101 tractors and six integral implement we designed and built for these tractors. Present C.D.Wiman, Nordenson, C.N.STone, Frank Silloway, Ken Anderson, Tom Bohemker and later Virgil Bozeman, and Greemeny. First we plowed with two tractors, one with plow (shown in photographs on last pages of this book) and one identical with plow for model M tractor. Both plows did well. Ours seemed to enter the ground sooner. Then demonstrated Mower, also attaching and detaching from tractor. 7 minutes in all. This mower is driven from pulley on front end of crank shaft. A good demonstration. Then regular cultivator and nest two row attachemnt. Stone & Wiman much interested in this. For light work the tractor ran straight. Then demonstrated begetable cultivator and vegetable planter. Both worked well. As a result it was decided it is time to turn the implements over to the factories for further development in conjunction with the tractor works. Ken Anderson is to evaluate the features of our implements as pulley on front end of crank shaft central position for rock shaft, power on both strokes of lift etc. It is a very great relief to me to have the factories take hold. My only stipulation in letting go being that the implements and tractor should at least be as good as the ones we have produced. This was agreed to. Elise & I at Lee's for supper.
