Tobaccoo Equipment

[Michibacy]

How about a forum for the equipment we use in tobacco making? Tractors sprayers hanging tools etc

 

[johnlee1933]

Sounds fine. Why don't you start one?

[Michibacy]

I didn't know if a particular category would be better or a thread

 

[johnlee1933]

I didn't understand. I thought you meant a new/different forum. You can check with FMGrowit (Don) about the suitability of a new thread vs. subsection. He started this forum and has the last word.

Alrighty will do

 

[FmGrowit]

Very cool piece of equipment

 

[Michibacy]

Could get my plot done faster than the thing would probably start....


...I think I saw one of these on a freight truck yesterday headed down south US127

If you watch till the end of the video it will give an option to watch other videos. Watch the "Cuttin' & Stackin' video. I guess the guy is speaking Kentucky-ese 'cause I can't understand much of what he is saying. I was going to send this to Bigbonner to translate but luckily someone has added subtitles.

 

[Michibacy]

Haha, I go down there almost every year for the ag show, you start catching on to those accents/compilations of grunts and twangs that some call southern english...

i think a thread devoted to that is a good idea,,,

i.e. someones home-made device that helps them string thier baccy

e,t,c,

There is already a thread on this subject, started by FmGrowit many months ago:

...you know the sad thing is: that is the thread that brought me to this forum...I must've forgot, sorry!

Edit:

Granted having a separate thread for the home farmer/gardener (less than 2 acres) might be beneficial.

Re: Tobaccoo Equipment: Scewering/Hanging device

What are your guys' thoughts on a "staking device" only smaller scale for us home growers. Instead of using stakes we would use standard electric fence wire that everyone suggests (and I use personally).


If you guys think it'd be worth it, I'll build a prototype and see how it works

 

[deluxestogie]

I'm not sure what process you're talking about.

Bob

 

[Michibacy]

The picking and then stringing/hanging step. Just an aperatus to help with it, similar to the staking device some big farms have.

 

[BigBonner]

Are you talking about a leaf treading ( Stiching ) machine ?

 

[Michibacy]

Same idea different concept. Just a tool that you would quickly attach your wire to, scewer your leaf onto and when the wire was full it would loop the end of the wire so you could hang the whole wire. I'll draw up a design and see what you guys think
