Thirty gallons sounds a bit high but who knows? I've driven their biggest tractor and I know they use a lot of fuel but I never kept track. If there's a digital GPH readout in the cab I'm too computer-illiterate to know how to get it up on the screen.
Twenty GPH is vey realistic. We look at the gallons-per-hour and our jaws drop but if we figure the amount of fuel used per acre and it's probably better than the old days.
A combine can cause ear loss by going too fast in downed corn, making the stalk whip and throw the ear off as the stalk is picked up off the ground by snouts. If the ears aren't fastened to the stalk very well and the operator of the combine isn't driving straight while he's going fast, the ears can be flung off the stalks before the corn head has a chance to capture them. If the ear is well attached to the stalk, as is the case with most BT corns today, the speed of the combine shouldn't have an affect on ear loss.
I would think today's BT corn that's resistant to stalk rot should be able to stand in snow better than the hybrids we had years ago.Gotta go. Granddaughter's Christmas program. Jim

So I went into the house and wrote him a check for $500 and bought them myself and said now they are mine. He had bought them about five years before thinking that he was going to restore them himself. After five years sitting in the barn, he changed h
