My boys are the same way. That may change once Grace is old enough to say more...   [Reply]  [No Email]

The green and yellow and orange and galvanized don't quite go together .. ..   [Reply]  [No Email]

Only one early 55 has a nickname. "(green) bullet" (loosely named after Bob Seger's Silver Bullet Band).Plus she's got quiet a few bullet holes in the sheet metal....lol Ralph in OK.   [Reply]  [No Email]

You said there was a story to go with it on its location... By the way none of my combines ever had names...My neighbors used to call my F3 Gleaner the Silver Seeder but it did a better job than lots of their combines..   [Reply]  [No Email]

There sat a Claas combine. It looking like it was in pretty good shape, at least at 55 mph. Just thought I would pass it along in case someone was looking for one.   [Reply]  [No Email]

They have a 970 Case up there that's been sitting in the same spot for years. I want to ask about it, but I want to have some cash in hand when I do. Hard to do that lately.   [Reply]  [No Email]
