Yes the cabs are cushy and nice but that is only the small part. They need drivers who don't run the unloading auger into a tree or a building or another combine's auger, drivers who don't run the end of the header into an embankment and bend the header back, and the combine driver does the same thing trying to avoid the first combine only to the other end of his head, drivers who don't run a row divider into a $5000 tire, who don't lose control of the combine on the road and run it into the ditch, or off a cliff, or into an oncoming semi, drivers who don't snag a 3 phase pole guy wire, spinning the combine around and bringing the pole down, drivers who don't wipe the reel off the header on a tree limb or take down overhead power lines, or cut the wheat too high or run too fast or tailgate the combine ahead of them or run into a parked combine while running in high gear.

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Generators - by Chris Pratt. As a companion to the articles on three-brush and two-brush generators, it seemed fitting that we should provide our readers with a description of how a generator works in lay terms. The difficulty with all those "theory of operation" texts is that they border on principles of electricity or physics and such. Since I know nothing of either, you will have to put up with looking at the common sense side of how generators work which means we "
