Well, we do have our own boxes. We have 2, and they have 2. We don't need them, but he lets us use them and it works a little easier to have 4 going at once. We do work together at times and if we do borrow anything, it gets greased before ever going to the field.
A few years ago we borrowed their disk because it's a little haevier than ours and we had some plowed sod we needed to work up. The axel broke at a previous weld while we had it because of the water tank they added for weight. I cut all the old crap off, bought some new channel iron that was thicker than original, and continued to fix it stronger than new. He was more than greatful, and never complained about it breaking. We even replaced 2 flat tires on it.
When we borrow the wagons, we'll replace the PTO shaft that's got a bad joint on it with an extra one we have laying around, and we'll put a new sheild on it because that's what neighbors do.
Ideally, yea we'd like to have more equipment, but then there is more overhead. For things that are seldom used, it's sometimes best to work out a partnership with a neighbor. Even though he makes us wonder what he does all day, we still get along and for the most part will borrow freely with each other. Even though 1/2 the time we gotta go over to his farm to get our stuff or give him a call to bring it back.

The gentleman no longer farmed because the entire area was developed with housing and light industry. I had stopped several times and knocked on the door but no one would answer. My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
