Pictures-S MM Combine That We Hauled Home Today

Here we are taking a little rest stop in the Flinthills of Kansas.On the trailer is a running model S MM combine that we hauled home from just west of Wichita,KS.

I would like to thank Curtis for selling me this nice combine and for helping us get in getting it loaded.Believe me there is no harder combine to load and to haul than an S MM.It was quite a job to get it all torn down.

In case anyone ever buys an S MM heres what has to be done to haul one.

1 Unloading auger has to be taken off.

2 Clean grain elevator has to be taken off and lowered to trailer floor to be under 13'6".

3 Operators ladder has to be removed and drive wheels have to be taken off and reversed.You need at least two 10 ft long heavy planks with you to put to safely load it and haul it.

4 Sickle has to be pulled.

5 Reel has to be pulled and two bats taken off to haul it without damaging it.The reel on this combine is like new.

6 The entire right side of the header has to be removed to narrow it down.Thats easier than trying to pull the entire header.

We have about half of another S MM on the trailer.A nice one was junked in the area where I got this one and the owner saved alot of it.Curtis let all this go with the combine.I also have a parts S MM combine so should be set.

Another view of the S MM and the Flinthills.In 2004 I drove a G-1000 Vista MM home from Kansas.In 2006 I drove a 6030 JD home from Kansas.We stopped at this very spot and took pictures of them.

Here is the S MM cutting wheat a few years ago.Notice the bin full of wheat.

Here is the rear view with the dual straw spreaders.

On the way home we passed a farm that had a row of 5010-5020-6030 JD tractors lining the drive way.

You never know what you will find in Kansas.
