That's a dandy!

Not to nitpick, but it’s vintage combining I think....

Not familiar with that make or style of combine tho, with such an offset header.

Very impressive symmetry, and choreography. Every unit is nearly identical to the next, and lined up perfectly. Baldwin brothers' Gleaner comes to mind first, but other companies were using galvanized steel also, I think.

Maybe they all lined up and stopped for the picture. Don't see any dust.

Looks like a JD G pulling that first combine. But what are those "flags" for? One going right, next on left...??? IaLeo

aybe hopper fill?

I can’t tell, but if all those tractors are G’s, they would need a
fuel truck on standby!

Even just idling along like that?

The unloading augers look to be new, probably Hesston conversions. I think that is how they got into business.

Yea, those combines just slid the grain out like a gravity box, into a low wagon. The augers dot stand out.

I wonder what the yield was, for those small grain tanks.

The work and man hours for the yields back in the day......

Now JD released the new combine, 31 acres of wheat in an hour?

Interesting. I was wondering why they looked freshly built/painted.

IaLeo · Aug 8, 2020

Probably was a corporate staged picture for investment brochures. Post WW2, late forties?? And why did they need a rider on the combine?

He's there to keep the header at the proper height.

IaLeo · Aug 8, 2020

If it took a JD G to pull or power those combines, they probably were burning cheaper distallate (sp). Leo
