Thanks Joe for posting pics. for me, my darn computer only does what it wants to do.!!It was a beautiful early fall day here in Western Il. last week, very dry though.My little guy was sure glad to see all of the excitement and had to be out and a part of it. The corn was pretty dry,opening the field up with combine I ran into corn anywhere from 19 to 27% most low 20's. All went well even with old equipment. 1030 is a '66,870 is a '71,wagons are '80,chopper '81,7230 '96 and Robby's Magnum is a 2013. Also forgot to mention we haven't had a rain here in over 40 days, that's why it's so dry.
 
great looking tractors ,met you guys at rantoul , my wife got some good pictures of the 870 thanks for posting the pictures. tom and melinda chesnut. ky , will be praying that u guys get some rain .
 
Nice fall seen chopping corn, the Magnum IH tractor just looks so good out there those old 1030 cases were nice looking tractors a the the little guy wow my granddaughter has a Nice Red toy Magnum like that.
 
Great pictures! That is about as close to paradise as you can get. It doesn't get any better than family and harvest. I bet the 1030 sounds good when you load the blower up. Things look about the same here. Mike
 
Harvesting, family, cows, and Case tractors. It just doesn't get any better than these pictures. Thanks for posting. Don
 
Tom,

It was a pleasure to meet you and Melinda as well. Good luck with the completion of your 770 project. Be sure to tell Melinda that after considerable discussion, Paul and I have decided to waive the $10 posing fee..... ;-)

While we were waiting in line to plow Friday morning, Melinda stopped by the 870 and began taking pictures. I wandered over beside her and mentioned he we normally charged people $10 per "sitting" to take pictures of our tractors.. She was a good sport and took our teasing in stride. Please let her know after getting to know the both of you Saturday, we've decided to extend the friends and family discount to our new friends from Kentucky. All the best to both of you. - Joe
 
The Gehl equip. has been very good to us, it was all bought new and had a LOT of use.Parts will be an issue someday I am sure but for now no problems. Paul
 
All Great pics. I wonder if Kasten made those boxes for Gehl? There was a lot of Gehl equipment sold here. Yes, you have to wonder about parts availability. So far it hasn't been a problem, that I know of.
 
Lol. I liked the black and orange paint scheme on Kasten equipment. The IH dealer here sold Gehl & Kasten. I bet Kasten made IH's boxes also then? Tell tale by the roof design. Model 10 as a IH?
