Don't get me wrong. My 6620 has been a good machine and I have had to buy very little in the way of major components for it. You guys get going a few weeks ahead of us when the weather tends to be clear, dry, and warm. Around here the second half of October on in the Great Lakes tends to have greater influence meaning cool and damp. A cylinder machine is at a disadvantage under these conditions versus a rotary. There is a parts yard about 35 miles away that has a good stock on 6620 and 7720 parts. K & J Surplus Lansing,NY. The old man is stepping back there and the son is taking over. 607-379-5185. When I took over there was a need for equipment as some did not exist. Which is to say dad shared equipment but about the time I got going a couple of the neighbors retired out so no more sharing. Most of the iron here is 1985 or older other than the JD 1750 planter and JD 980 Field Cultivator plus a couple small pieces. I don't think that we are overdone on equipment. Buying land locally is problematic unless you are an investor. Ground locally can vary production such as corn running 100-170 bushels most years and beans 20-45 bushels most years. Guys are paying like we have consistent 200 bushel corn and 65 bushel bean ground. Your BIL's mindset is right in that if you are reasonably set on equipment then a younger hungry farmer should concentrate on land. That is why I would rather buy a 1460 than 2166 so the difference can be used elsewhere.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Pat Browning. The setting is rural Wisconsin, halfway between East Troy and Elkhorn, on Hodunk Road, our nation was at war, and I was 6, 7 and 8 years old. George was our "threshing neighbor." He was the one with the threshing machine, a JI Case on steel wheels, and he pulled it to our farm with a JI Case standard tractor also on steel. In those days, steel wheeled implements were common. The roads were general gravel, so the lugs cutting into them wasn't a problem. George would set up the thresher, s
