So to Mike and Mr. 4020LP, sure you can borrow my truck. That’s what insurance is for, I want a new one anyway. If you live in Michigan you know all vehicles are going to rust back to the earth from which they came anyway. New combines aren’t quite the fire hazard the old ones were, but they still like to burn on a regular basis. Especially the early 9060 series Deere’s they had some issues in the engine area. More combines have cannibalized themselves by burning to the ground than just about anything any people have ever done to them. Early 6600’s were notorious for this. I remember one day the guy across the road with his White 7800 caught it on fire 3 times, just kept going. Jacksonburg didn’t come here blowing about destroying combines. He asked for a transmission, YOU people were the ones that burned him where he stood for even mentioning the mere thought of smashing some combine before you even knew anything bout it. I won’t agree with the preserving history, but he is having fun and isn’t that what life is about?
I have no sense of history? Cool. I’ve run those old machines, we had a 55EB round back up until 1998, I spent many hours on it, people that still want to run those things are nuts. But If we still had Grandpa’s first JD55 do you think that thing would be going anywhere? Not in this life time, just like his old B and 60 we have at the house, those are never leaving, and why? Because Grandpa bought them new. Now is the world going to run out of old combines, probably not. If you want to try to save every one that you see that’s your option if you want to, but don’t go telling me what to do with my equipment. I go to job sites and watch people destroy $400,000 pieces of brand new equipment all the time, do I think it’s a waste? Yeah, but can I do anything about it? No. So why not sit back and watch the guy roll the off road dump truck on its side and laugh at it? After that a $500 combine is no big loss. 4020LP If you are amused by people that think their opinion is the only one that counts you must be entertained on a 24/7 basis because like I brought up before, you started burning Jacksonburg where he stood, and haven’t let up since so obviously you think your opinion should be loud if not louder than mine and his combined. Now give yourself a big pat on the back. Oh yeah, I thought all this place was for was entertainment. I mean shoot, what else would I be doing right now than pushing you guys one step closer to a heart attack. So had to make this one long because well, I really like to argue, and I won’t be back on for a while. Going to Georgia to look at a building that one of my fellow colleagues had the company assemble in the wrong order. I get to see what they have done already and how to get the rest of the building built and still be able to get the crane out.
