Wheat cutting like it was 1975 ".....
Wrapping up wheat harvest... Got rained out today
The 62 got plenty of road time.... My father in law drove it
And my 65 Chebby for the first half of harvest
........
The combines are about 1973 vintage... One gas, the other diesel
They are tiny compared to what the neighbors run
A new combine & header can cost a half a million dollars
..........
I have about $7000 total invested in the 2 trucks & 2 combines
......
But I don't farm a 1/5 of what they do.....
.......
When my youngest graduates we might go bigger
He wants to farm & teach highschool Ag classes

Re: Wheat cutting like it was 1975 ".....
I miss those days. I worked for a farmer when I was in high school and college. We had a 63 Ford wheat truck with a low/high axle and some brakes. When it was fully loaded, you had to use caution on braking. We ran an old JD combine and later added an old Gleaner.
Got an other pics?

Re: Wheat cutting like it was 1975 ".....
Actually..... Just finished today
Cut a small patch we had left at moms
Then I went over to a neighbor & finished his field
as his combine had broken down.....
Last round raindrops were falling
Got home & put em in the shed & started raining GOOD !
Sure welcome moisture for the beans , corn , alfalfa !
