Three 21's is what I hear today. I started on the run 15 years ago, my neighbor has the combines. Spent a lot of time out there for the first ten years but now I just don't have the time for more than two or three weeks in the later summer. Started out as a trucker then was a combine driver for five years or so, then mainly did mechanic work while the young guys sat in their air conditioned trucks and combines. No need to tell you how hot it gets in Kansas the first part of July. They had 12 2388's at their peak but now retirement is setting in and they only run two now.

Kind of irritates the combine driver if the cart pulls up when the combine is only half full, but that's the way to do it. This summer I ran the cart which was a first for me in wheat. Gets kind of hairy running that 1000 bushel cart a foot away from the end of a 40 foot head when there are no rows to follow. I can't judge distance worth a hoot! Jim
