Well we finally got after it today! What a fun afternoon! Brought back alot of good memories. The funny thing was the number of cars that hit the brakes while driving by to see that odd orange picker! lol I hauled with the series II D15 so we had a great looking team of tractors, had to look like 1965 out there in the field.
If you havent noticed I like taking pictures! |

Great pics, Jim.....I bet somebody's ears are still ringing! It's fun running the old equipment, but after riding around in my brother's 190 hp fwa and push button shift cab tractors with heat, ac and nice tunes I realized it is much easier to put in a 12 hour day at harvest time!

another batch of great pictures Jim, I am looking for a few pics of an old MM sheller that was on the forum a few months back, it would complete the operation I was use to being a part of, including cold feet!!! |

That field looks familiar! Didn't find any Stanley tape-measure plants growing?? How is the grain moisture?

I love ear corn picking pics and the idea of it. I used to ride with grandpa to the elevator with a pickup load of ear corn to get made into feed. I'd smell the molases and take in the atmosphere. To me those are the good ole days.
Didn't want to use your new AC elevator Jim? |

Your right Jim does look like 1965! Looking at the crib, I see that it does not have a dropped sheller drag tunnel. Hope you have the old U tunnels or a 2x12 sheller drag tunnel built inside as shelling without a way to get the corn into the sheller drag is tough. Also means that u got to scoop it all up into the drag. I have scooped a lot of corn into sheller drags over the years when I was a teen, and was aways glad when the farmer had a dropped tunnel, as it was much easier to push the corn over to the drag rather than scooping it up and into the drag.
Good luck with harvest and get the corn in before the snow flies.

Jay does bring up a point,, I'll bet Jim will clear more per bushel than most these day's.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

How are your over heating issues? Any problems? Bet you have to watch the water temperature a lot. |

Actually the D17 is running in normal operating temperatures. The super snoot does a good job. This is an M&W one on it now. I also have an A-C one.
As for the corn, most of it will be ground up for the steers. The rest we will run through the K Gleaner to shell once it is dry. Forgot one picture. Jim |
