Do most or all of you regular posters here on the combine forum know each other, other than through this forum? I get the impression that you do.

I"m a real geography nut and always think it would be nice that along with a picture or pictures posted you would include a general geography area like saying I"m in Central Nebraska or Eastern Illinois, etc. I"m not a farmer but live on a small acreage in retirement in Southern Minnesota and really enjoy the combine forum most of all on YT.

I havent met anyone on here except for the guys that I allready knew. I'm from central IL and I was wondering how many of you were at Rantoul IL. last August? Talk about a place to watch old machinery work, corn pickers, bean cutting, combines picking corn, plowing, hay making, corn shelling. Really neat and I just wondered if any of you were down there? bill

I don't personally know any of the other posters, but I did get to meet a posters family. He posted on here about some combines for sale, and I ended up buying them, He had a really nice family. I'm 21 and trying to slowly get started farming, so I have old combines to run, not collect. They're the only ones I can afford! lol. But I do enjoy seeing others saving combines. And it's even better when they post pictures of using them, as I enjoy old stuff.

Hey all don't know anyone personally. Been on here a little over a year. 1206 got me all fired up on these combines!!!!
I live straight west of chicago about 60 miles. Can see the glow quite well of that city at night. Wife is in the airforce in Georgia. My brother and I bought 20 acres of the 200 my grandparents had after they died. Story goes my great grandfather bought 3 farms for each of the sons, to keep them out of WWII. And the farms were willed to their kids so the sons couldn't sell the farms ever. Would have liked to met that man!!!!

I've been getting equipment for the last 4 years bought and running so when my wife retires in 2 years, we can get 80 acres or so to play with.

We just were able to get broadband out here now, so this site is alot more enjoyable. I'm 48 and grew up on a1000 acre grainfarm in Alexandria MN

in the 70's , on a 4020 and a 105JD combine.

Take care

Farmer

Don't have to live close by to be neighbors I guess. Just a really nice place to spend these cold winter evenings chatting with friends you've never met. Rarely a post goes by where I don't learn something, or at least get a little chuckle. FAR more entertaining than that #@#@#@ TV. The pictures on here lately have really brought this site to life, Thanks to everyone who has contributed to making my winter a little warmer!! When I sit here reading this stuff, my wife will come by an say,
"Ya haints gots no class, Ya jest sit thar a grinnin like a cat sh!!tten glass"

Just enjoyin another cold winter nite Bellyacre SW MN

I"ve met 2-3. Jordan was posting a couple years ago, looking for a combine. Gave him some of my excess parts when I looked at his "new" machine. Met Phil at a local show, and he visited our farm on his way back to St. Cloud. Know another by phone who"s coming to look at my F2 when it"s ready to sell. Very enjoyable visits.

Ron, I'll be 59 this year and own and live on a 380 acre grain farm which is located 100 miles south of KC,MO.I decided to quit farming and have rented out the farm for 2008.I work a very demanding full time job at 3M and trying to do both was leaving me worn out.

I once owned 125 antique tractors but sold them all in the mid 1980's..I did buy (2) WK-40 McCormick tractors in 2007 to go along with (20) old SP combines that I started collecting in late 2005.

I have lots of old SP combines to haul home this year and will be on the road alot out in Kansas and Oklahoma.I also need to be working on my new combine shed.

I like tractors from the 1960's and have a 1967 1206 Farmall,1970 1456 Farmall,1961 460 Farmall,1965 Series II D-21 Allis,1967 Oliver 1950 that I do some pulling with,1967 MM G-1000 Vista wheatland,1650 Oliver,and a 1977 6030 JD.I used to have a 1966 1206 Farmall but sold it.

In 2007 I ran in to Russ Hamm several times at tractor shows at Goessel and Ft Scott,KS.Hes a real nice guy and one of these days Russ I'll come by and see your collection.

Curtis Rink posts on here once in a blue moon and I bought my S MM combine from him.I've known him since 1985.

It seems like I know lots of you but have never met very many of you.I will be showing my lever steer 91 IH combine at the 2008 Red Power Show in June at Columbia,MO.If any of you are there come by and say hello,I might just let you take the 91 for a spin.

ITG, I will be there from Thursday noon until mid Saturday afternoon.I will probably take the 91 IH thru the parade each day.I dont think that there will be any wheat to cut.I hope that others will bring some red combines. At Red Power in July 2002 at Penfield,ILL they had wheat to cut.

I hope that you can run me down.

I agree with what another poster said. I think it seems like everybody knows eachother on the forum because of the common love for old machinery.

I have never met anyone from the forums but 55 50 would probably the closest. We have probably attended some of the same shows around S MN.

I for one don't know anyone on here personally but I have had a few e-mail conversations with some of them. I think we all seem to have a common bond either our love of combines or tractors or whatever and I've gotten a lot of help from the wealth of knowledge on here usually from someone who says "I've been there done that" I also think the one thing we all share and that's our love of farming! I really enjoy the custom cutters pictures and thier stories and 1206's combine pictures and knowledge. Oops, can't leave out Allen in NE. I'm in south central Ohio.

No, I don't, and probably just as well, given the fact I don't like combine demo derbies or tractor pulls, and have a low opinion of those who put on or attend either of those events. There's several folks on here who I'm sure would like me to be the guest of honor at a necktie party, LOL.
