FARM MOTORS IN
ACTUAL FARM USE
Tests by General Electric
Engineers Reveal Interesting
Benefits From Electricity.

In order to obtain data in regard to
the fiexibility of motors in respect to
their adaptability for operating farm
tools already in use on the farm and
now driven by tractors or small gas
engines, General Electric engineers at
Schenectady, in conjunction with rep
resentatives of the Adirondack Light
and Power Company. made arrange
ments last year with several farmers
near Schenectady, in New York state,
to drive various farm machines with
motors Following is a brief sum-
mary of what was done last summer
and fall
The first test on grinding feed was
made on the farm of Godfrey Leneker,
near Ft. Plain, N. Y. A five horse
power portable farm motor was belted
to Slower mill used for grinding oats.
This test, and another conducted later.
demonstrated that the portable motor
is ideal for feed grinding, which is
usually an intermittent operation on
the farm, only few minutes being
required to connect the drive.
At the George Nellis farm, st. Johns
vile, N. Y, tests were made of hoist
ing hay, using a three horsepower
motor employed on the farm for driv-
ing the vacuum pump of the milking
machine. This motor was bolted
through a jack shaft to Farrell hoist
With the motor drive two horse load
of hay weighing one and one-half tons
was unloaded in six minutes, and
there was the added advantage that
all operations were controlled by the
man on the load.

ice we're all available, the five horse

that to give the best results circular

assist when the saw is cutting sticks
of very hard wood and tough knots.
At the Sarnowski Dairy Farm, about
two miles from Schenectady, a fifteen
horsepower portable farm motor was
used for driving threshing machine
for threshing oats. The motor proved
to be superior to the gasoline tractor
which was usually employed for this
drive. In that the speed did not fall off
when the bundles of oats were 1arst
thrown into the machine. The ma
chine could. therefore, be fed faster,
and because of the steadier speed the
blower carried away the straw to the
stack and did not clog. whereas clog
ging sometimes occurs with gasoline
engine drive when the speed falls off.
The constant speed also increased the
number of bushels that could be
threshed per day at aNratio of about
1,4O0 bushels per ten hour day, motor
drive, to 500 bushels per ten hour day,
gasoline engine drive.
The fifteen horsepower portable
farm motor was used at the same
farm for filling the sflo and was con-
nected to a blizzard ensilage cutter.
In ensilage cutting the superiority Of
meter drive was further proved by
the fact that speed was kept up to
normal when heavy overloads, caused
by the bundles of corn when they first
entered the machine, came on, and

During the year a number of five

have been built and changes designed
to improve the outfit have been made.
The principal change was the substi-
tuition of chain drive from the mo-
tor to the pulley shaft for the belt and

effected a saving in no load losses.
