I thought about posting this in the combine forum but talk gets more traffic.
The combines were rolling in my fields the other day. I do not own a combine anymore, it is custom done by a very good and reliable farmer so the only items owned by me in the field was my side by side and cell phone. In fact I don't drive a combine any more.
When I was following this combine my thoughts went back about 60 years to the first time I was a steering wheel holder on a tractor pulling a combine. I was about ten years old and a neighbor was combining our oats for us with a A6 Case combine pulled by a Deere 60. The combine had a hitch to pull a wagon alongside the combine on the unloading auger side. The neighbor running the combine wanted to unload on the go and I was standing there watching so he called me over, had me climb up on the tractor seat to steer the tractor while he crawled into the wagon and leveled oats with the combine unloading into the wagon. The unloading auger barely made it over the top of the wagon so some shoveling was needed to level off the oats.
There is no need to explain anything about what is happening in this picture. The entire Deere 60 and case combine could almost fit in this grain cart alone. The grain tank on the Case combine held maybe 40 bushels and the wagon held 150 bushels of corn. This grain cart holds 1100 bushels of corn. On a rough guess I think this combine could fill two or three of those 150 bushel wagons in a minute.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
