I want a D-17 with mounted Corn picker (model 170 or 190??)
A nice original unit and ready to pick corn.
Don't think I will get it though
What did you ask for?

A large burlap sack full of hundred dollar bills. That way I would have time to ride around and find equipment like your looking for.

I really didn't ask for anything
BUT if you must get me something....well something that would fit in a 80'x 100' box would be very nice🙌

I said I'm good with delivery in 3 weeks!

I asked for a somewhat concealable 9MM and an Illinois CC permit. I was gonna purchase the gun myself, but Thiesens won't sell to Illinois residents, and I haven't found any place local where I can pay the $700 for required training and State permit.

It wouldn't have to be 80'x100', but a nice, dry, insulated, well lighted building with a concrete floor would be mine. Maybe then I could get some work done on these cold rainy days.

I want another fully restored CA so I can take my time restoring the one I have.
Or at the very least new rear rims and centers for mine, LOL.

I guess I'd have to be like DanWI, and just ask for a winning lottery ticket. Would be much easier for Santa to haul than the 100 X 200 shop that I want. Darrel

Really nothing there is no reason to ask for anything ,my son keeps telling me I need a combine but I tell him I dont want one, I hire the neighbor and he gets a new combine every year and it saves enough grain to pay for the cost of the combining , but this year I look out and see my stupid son pulling in my yard with a F3 Gleaner with a 430 corn head and a 13ft grain platform, he says "merry Christmas dad" after I have told him 100+ times I dont want a combine I told him to get that SOB out of here or I would burn it so now its setting in his small yard im sure you will see it for sale soon. so just one more reason I hate Christmas.

| Because I have told him NO time and time again for over 2 years the neighbor can do it with a 35 ft head and 8 row corn head while your thinking about it with a F3 and I dont want the aggravation of it plus I dont have room in the shed for it, and if a combine sets outside they wont last long. he is almost 27 yrs old and I dont know what part of NO he doesn't understand. anyway long story short its gone from here now.

Hated it when my only child wouldn't listen to me, but now she can't. Maybe help him get it sold and hopefully move on with a better understanding. Up to you I'm not judging.
