Uhnken Poses With His Home-Built Machines
 ✖  |
Over the years FARM SHOW has probably had more stories on "made it myself' machines built by Illinois farmer Butch Uhnken than just about anyone else. Most were written up by veteran farm writer C.F. Marley of Nokomis, Ill. Marley recently paid a visit to Uhnken's farm near Jacksonville and snapped this picture of Uhnken with some of his creations. Uhnken's sitting on his home-built ATV in the fore-ground. Behind him are his loader tractor, a self-propelled rope wick applicator, a self-propelled mower, a sprayer with a 48-ft. boom mounted on a converted pickup, a field mower built on the frame of a Deere 77 combine, and a self-propelled grain cart that'll carry a whopping 900 bu. of grain.
