I like it. Must have the same problem as everyone around here where you have to quit as soon as it gets dark or else you plug it up.

You know, I still have trouble seeing the SIZE of the equipment now days. Don't forget I came up with the 40 and 60 All Crop. The Gleaner was just coming out when we stopped selling in 1962.
Thanks for posting some outstanding pictures. I was looking for that on way to the beach in the Del Mar Va area. Trouble was I ran into a no'easter and it rained all the time I was down. Always look forward to harvesting time. The end of a great season.
Good Luck!

Yeah had to quit cause it was just to wet... We cut all we could.. Down to the last 5 acres of corn and 50 acres of beans that has been under water 4 times this year... Shakes fist at Mother Nature for that one...With it being so dark in the picture I forgot to tell you all what there is actually sitting there.... N6 with a 630 corn head... A 7045 with a EZ Trail Auger Wagon and 7080 with (2) 250 bushel wagons....

This part of the state has only had about a half inch of rain since the end of October so there has actually been a little wheat drilled and some fall tillage and fertilizing. There is also a fair amount of harvest going on though most are down to last hundred acres or done. Its not been a good fall for the ones with the new New Holland machines one has broke cross augers on both heads and blew an engine to pieces while traveling down the road and another has had other problems to slow him down so he still has a bit to do.

We know all to well about the motor blowing up... Our N5 blew the motor . That was our corn combine.. Had to make adjustments to our N6 to shell corn... A neighbor of ours combine blew up too... One neighbor made the comment that we are all just going to have to pull together this year to get the crops out... Seemed if it was not the rain keeping us out of the fields it was the motors that were... Just not a good year at all... We still have no wheat in the ground and from the looks of it won't get it in either... Grandpa buried the 220 yesterday pulling a gravity wagon through the field... It is just 1 huge muddy mess.....

I have some distant cousins that live in Red Bud; they don't farm and I think he is a judge and she a school teacher and they may be retired I'm not sure I sometimes go over a year without seeing them, shows how distant they are. Flynn is their last name.
