What I'm talking about is implements and combines. A guy with 600 acres can still make a real good living. Why can't John Deere build him a combine? I know of at least a few guys with 500 to 1000 acres that are thinking of getting their stuff custom harvested. These guys are serious combine buyers with serious 500 to 1000 acre operations. But they don't want to go larger because of the county roads and smaller fields. They want a 9400 sized machine and John Deere eliminated that a few years back. I think there would even be a market for a 9300 four row sized machine if they'd build one. These guys don't want to run old junk and are fed up with the lack of machines their size. They don't need to or want to harvest 100 acres a day. Basically John Deere is telling the US that in the future there is no viability for a guy with less than 1500 acres. The huge new machines have so many unneeded electronics that they won't be fixable like the machines from the 70' and 80's. Its a real slap in the face to a guy when John Deere says "we'll sell you implements, tractors and parts, but we're so sure you're on your way out that we aren't even thinking of making harvest equipment for you"

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.
