I had a rare moment of deja vu on Sunday as I got to watch my old combine, and drag around my old gravity boxes with his tractor to help him get his corn out.
It's like the sound of a long lost friend when you hear one of your old combines or tractors fire up. There is something strange about how you never forget the exhaust note, or the smell of the cab. I spent the day in his John Deere 6715 mfwd pulling gravity boxes up to the auger while he finished. The back box (J&M ladderless pain) I sold to him also, so it was like it never left, pulling it around.
Even with this strange misty fog weather and all the mud, it sure did feel good to get out and touch and smell some shelled corn again. My legs are sore and bruised from sliding a 60 foot auger under wagons all day, but the cab of the tractor was a lot more comfortable than that old New Holland 975 ever was so I didn't mind too much.
Sad to say the New Holland broke a belt at the end of the day and shelled corn filled the shoe and fan housing so it's going to be a quite a mess for later. He figures on just picking the last 8 rows with a 323 picker. Bittersweet end to a fun day!
