Subject: Re: Tell me about this small combine?



High Springs, Florida
I learned how to run a combine on one of those in the early 1970's!! Man, what a dusty dirty machine that was to run. I did wheat, oats, speltz with that machine. I think it had a 9' platform. Of course no electronics at all, you had to really use your ears and listen to the sound of the cylinder to gauge your ground speed which you adjusted with a lever on a quadrant on the right side. You kept your right hand on it all the time, constantly adjusting your speed to match crop conditions. You were always filthy dirty at the end of the day after running that machine.
