I went to the demo derby at the fair last night, which also had 2 rounds of combine's. the 1st heat was 2 old Gleaners (sorry Allan) and a Massey, the massey snubbed out and he was counted out just as he got restarted, so he'll probably be back next year again with it. One of the Gleaners lost a fluid filled drive tire and could only go in circles. After lettign him spin around for 5 minutes they finally counted him out and the other Gleaner won.

Second heat had another Massey, The Gleaner Lee, a JD, and a New Holland. I think the second Massey snubbed out also and was having problems restarting. The NH lost it's head after lots of smashing so it was down to the Gleaner and the JD- they rammed each other head on alot and finally the Gleaner won.

It was a good one this year, unlike last year where everyone and their sister who were in it had JD combines.... They all broke down and nobody wanted to make a hit...

WOW, a good use for a Gleaner. Remember that thing on the back is not a straw chopper, it's an endgate seeder!!!!

Old combines are worth so much here even if they won't run its hard to imagine smashing them!

Anywhere in eastern Canada. There used to be a grain subsidy on the railway to ship grain from the praries out here. So nobody grew grain. Feed was so cheap. Then the subsidy was removed, lots of people needed combines and there where hardly any around, still isn't. Friend bought one from the midwest US, shipped it 1000 miles via truck and it was still cheaper than local.

Yes we have no combine demo derbies here in North West Iowa. State Steel has a car grinder in Sioux City that eats them. If you whittle them down to car size chunks they go in as shred able. So I hear.
