Ain't it always the way?

Got within 80 bushel of being done with my weedy wheat project and can't get another kernal on that truck. :>(

Darned old Gleaner gobbled it's way thru the whole mess without even blinkin' once. Love that combine! :>)

Okay, I'm off to the elevator, which is 35 miles away.

Well, it's actually good that you have 80 bu. "more". I find that I can never "fill" the truck.

Oh yeah,

Kinda had that problem too.

Darned stuff only made 17 bpa over the two farms, but the way the wheat prices are headed, it did make him a nice little bonus.

Still say it beat discing it under, which was his other option. :>)

Allan -- is this the Gleaner that you previously owned and had found again? I think you had to change engines, straw walkers, other parts?
If so, CONGRATS on getting her running well again!

No,

This is the '76 F Corn/Bean Special. Bought this one from the local dealer here who had taken it in on trade.

Darned thing has almost 3300 hours on it, but just threshes as good as it ever did. 'Course I keep 'er all cinched tight and tuned up. :>)

I gotta get that F2 thrown back together tho. Sure miss that nice quiet cab and the electric header clutch. :>)

Growing up in S.E. Nebr. the first wheat harvest I remember, involved binder, bundles, thashing machine and crew, 1945. From then on we used a combine that cut the grain standing, the first wheat that I saw picked up from the windrow was in N.D. in the early 70's. Until seeing your picture I was not aware that it was done in Nebr.
 
Just curious, what is a "normal" range for yield out there? I know when I did wheat in NW IN I was hoping for a lot more than 17. This is probably one of the last times I did it 3-4 years ago. Only beans and corn now.

Alan, you caught me flat footed on that one. Usally when you say that...something popped or broke.
Glad you just ran out of truck.
 
Dunno,

Sure looks like a bon-e-fid-e Allis to me.

No name on the thing that I can find, but seems like I've seen pictures of the factory pickups and they looked like this duckaroo.

Friends 730 I believe. Worked great on that bailer. Notice I had to pay attention that day, my little boss #1 was next to me. That 7720 would cruise with that little head on.
 
As always enjoy the pix ! Shouldn't be complainin on that 35 mile tho, must be that far to the other end of that field.

I often do wonder how many slow miles you put on a year ?
