We ran a leased CNH combine today with 36 foot draper today, honeybee draper.

I was pretty impressed.

It did spread the residue a little better than the R-75 with 35 foot head.  We have to spread this residue better.

The CNH guys quizzed me on what we like and what we need.  Well that, yellow combine scheme, yuck!

What color you want silver seeder?  Well CIH red would be an improvement!  Dead silence.  Then I said we all need a machine that will pay for itself in efficiency.  I liked the speed and grain quality but that young man had it tweeked.

The thing was smooth as silk but better at that price.  They had the right guys there who made it sing like a song.

People stopped and stared!

In another field we had the Deere/Martin air drill seeding, looked like big timers, LOL.  I just stood there amazed on the phone keeping trucks rolling.

The combines were hitting hard today in SW Ohio.  The lots are empty due to sales and rentals!

Ed Winkle and crew cutting 71 foot a pass, I just couldn't believe it!

Give the machine a chance, it passed my test.  Hopper little small at 315 bu, the twinkie lights come on at 75% capacity which was happening often.
