I grew up on a farm and immediately noticed "that ain't right!"

My brother wanted me to run his combine this past fall. He kept telling me it's as easy as a zero turn riding lawnmower. Only problem is I only use an old push reel mower, and I didn't want to be the one he blamed when I broke his new toy. I stuck with the tractors and truck. Maybe I'll be willing to break his combine next year.

Been there, done that, Dave. I liked combining at night, when possible. All the wildlife comes out to watch.

So this pic is fir those that think their boat is safe from winter, in the garage.

Ouch!
Looks like someone needs a new block.

That sucks Mike. And I used to run all night. Back when I could and didn’t have two little munchkins to get home and take care of. I used to love running at night.

Following the rows at night would be pretty easy. I used to hate pulling a disc or field cultivator at night--I couldn't always tell where I had already been, but the next morning my dad was sure to point out where I'd missed!

I'm with ya on that one, but now with GPS and a TON of lights, it's not really a problem any more

Unless its been dry. All that dust makes it near impossible to see where the disc gangs are in relation to the last pass. Plowing is another story.

It's amazing how far GPS has come!

When I quit farming, the boss could sit in the house 20 miles away, and knew where I was in each field, in what direction I was moving, how fast, and the yield of bushels per acre he was getting from each field I combined. That was 20 some years ago.!
