Pedal Combine Works Like A Pedal Tractor

Pedal Combine Works Like A Pedal Tractor AG WORLD 30-6-22 "As far as I know, no one has ever built anything like it," says Tom Snyder, Storm Lake, Iowa, about his mini "pedal combine" that works just like a pedal tractor. The toy combine is modeled after a 1992 International Harvester 2366, which Snyder uses on his own farm. It measures 4 ft. long and can be equipped with either a 6-row corn or bean head, and has an unloading auger that folds out. The reel can be turned by hand. "It's built entirely from scratch, with a square tube frame and formed sheet metal. The only thing I bought were the wheels and hardware," says Snyder. "My three boys, ages 8, 6, and 5, really enjoy driving it. The pedals are off a real pedal tractor. I was going to make the reel so it would be belt-driven off the pedals but I never had the time." Snyder says he made the pedal combine for his boys only and is not interested in making them for sale.
