THE ALFALFA SEED business
is good-if more seed can be har-
vested than is lost in the harvesting
operation-and if enough men can
be found to help get the job done"
This was the conclusion reached by
Joe Muggli and sons of Custer coun-
ty several years ago. And here is
the story of their solution of the
problems of conserving seed and
saving labor.
With about $50 acres of alfalfa
seed to harvest, the Mugglis decided
there had to be a better way than
w~indrowing and shocking, with the

~Streamlined Seed Harvest
Buucher SaUes Alfalfa Seed, Labor
By JERRY LESTER

Slated floor in the box TO faove 10
the rear. When the box is full, the
hay is rolled off onto the ground
by this moving floor.
The alfalfa is left in one large
bunch amounting to one bull rake
load which is taken to the thresher
after curing. The crew for the cut
ting-bunching operation consists of
a man on each mower and two men
on the buncher. One man drives the
tractor and another man stands On
the buncher to take care of the
tamping. Then when threshing time
comes, the bull rake operator does
all the field bunch moving with ne
spike pitchers necessary.
Protects Seed
This saving of about 10 men in
the seed harvesting operation is only
one part of the story. Handling the
alfalfa this way Immediately after
moving keeps the seed from blow
ing out on the ground because the
large punches are protection ia
themselves. Then too, in case of
rain the large punches shed the
water and keep the seed compare
lively dry.
The seed is allowed to cure slowly
without the danger of quick drying
and blowing that exists with small
cocks Or windows in the field. No
alfalfa is run over with the wheels
of the buncher or any other piece of
equipment.
The buncher was designed and
built up in the farm shop at the
Muggli farm. It was built with a
heavy pipe frame, canvas type ele-
vator and a Slated moving rattle
in the bottom of the wooden bunch
ing box. The elevator is powered by
a small 6 h. p. gasoline motor, while
the rattle is powered by a wheel
drive mechanism released with a
clutch. The unit lows to the right
of the tractor.
The other sticker in this mechan-
lied operation is in threshing the
seed which does necessitate the use
of men to pitch the punches into the
thresher-but this may someday be
remedied because the Muggli's have
a few dreams about a feed mechan-
ism for the thresher that will take
the entire buck rake load at once
and automatically feed it into the
thresher.
When this job is done, another
farming operation will be complete
ly mechanic from seeding to h"r-
vesting.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-06-01

jim q So 00SA 4oINS LOoO LIN saw
the labor of 10 men.
But to understand the operation
better, let's take a look at the usual
method of harvesting the seed. Ordi-
narily, two mowers would be used
in the field with a 12-man crew nee
essary for driving the mowers and
cooking up the alfalfa behind them.
These small cocks are then left
in the field until the seed is prop
erly cured. Then two buck rakes
would be used with four spike pitch
ers keeping them loaded. The buck
rake loads then would be carried
to the thresher where men with
pitch forks would keep the thresher
loaded.
Buncher Operation
With the new Muggli-designed
buncher the operation goes like this:
One 7-foot mower cuts a swath of
alfalfa and windows it followed by
another of the same size but with
a windrower extension that throws
this second swath up just next to
the first. Immediately following this
second mower with windrower
comes the tractor-towed buncher
which picks the double windrow up,
elevating it and dropping it in a
large box behind the elevator.
One man stands on a walk along
each side of this box and lamps
down the alfalfa. When the front of
the box is filled, a clutch is engaged
which causes the rattle or moving
