Case Nutty 1660/ Steam Show

Not sure yet we had another hail last night that took out the rest of my crops and the house roof, windshields you name it its gone, the wife's van took three softball sized one to the windshield,, its not going any where for a few days till they get it changed out,, not sure any rentals are available with the hail ,, hundreds if not thousands of cars look just like it or worse

I quit carrying crop insurance years ago as they always have a reason not to pay, this storm would have been no different as I already had "harvested" product by haying it earlier, so they would say I had production and it already made more than the county average, I got tired of paying out 5 to 8 K and get nothing, the grain loss was not a huge loss other than I am out of seed for planting in the spring due to being hailed out last year also,, I am hoping to be able to get 100-150 bushel still off the 40 plus acres i had saved for seed,, when it dries I will know as I will cut some and see whats actually left but I am not holding my breath

Wow, sorry to hear and see that. We only got some rain out of it. If you do decide to attend, my cel is 60five,two0six,0seven0three. Would like to meet and talk Case as we both worked for a dealer.
 
Tom, A good year started out for you and now hail again. We got a little taste of hail yesterday, 1 inch of rain in about 5 minutes, with high winds. I hope you can save some of your crops. We will keep you and your family in our prayers. Jerry from Ohio

Sorry about the hail. Hail that size is wicked. Did it take out any cab windows in your machinery? Hail can wipe out a wheat or barley crop in a hurry. My dad quit carrying hail insurance long ago after a feud with the adjuster. Every year he invested the money he would have paid for a hail insurance premium and came out way ahead in the end. His son should have followed the same practice.
 
I have two rear windows cracked is all I found so far, one on the 580CK and one on the 1200 I do not have to change them right away at least,, I found more damage to the equipment today, out of the sevn units I had sitting in a group only one has no damage, one 970 had the main fuel feed line snapped at the transfer pump and dumped the 1/4 tank of fuel it had, it also had the grease gun knocked out of the holder and was on the ground, other 970 had the return fuel line snapped into, the 770 had the pointer on the nose cone ripped off and the rear tail light bulb and rubber grommet knocked out of the housing, the 1070 had the LH front flasher lens busted off, my 4-wheeler up there has holes punched through the plastic, lid on the spray tank busted, sray jet holder snapped off I am sure I will find more as time goes on, I also found out today a man was driving on a hi-way north of town and a hailstone came through his windshield and hit him in the head killing him,, there are hundreds if not thousands of homes and cars damaged many cars totaled, every car at the airport has windows busted out,, yes it was truly a wicked storm cell

Tom, In my 73 years I have not seen a year like this one. Winter kill perfect alfalfa fields , wet spring till the end of June. Then no rain till now, soybeans are about 6" tall, no corn planted. What a great year, and I do not have it as bad as others like you, but we love what we do. Jerry from Ohio
