I finally carried the camera around some.
Took some photos while we were running in some wheat. I took some with my camera and my daughter took a couple.
Southern Pa wheat,

I thought for awhile you were driving like me and not using a couple of feet of the header.....then I realized you were finishing a land and did not have a full width to take. I was really hoping I was not alone in my style. Wheat looks great, yield any good? Do you guys up there double crop? Not very familiar with your area. Joe

Double crop? Not in the normal sense of the word. This wheat will be followed by fall seeded oats to be chopped for silage late Oct, early Nov.
Yields? Very, very acceptable!!! Extremely pleasant surprise, considering our weather since planting. The wheat in the second and fourth photos was "in excess of 100bu/acre".
Test weights? on the light side at 55-57#/bu. Flour mill "says unpleasant things", at 54#.
That is no-til wheat into silage corn ground. The Hubner people were happy enough with the visual appeal of the H50 to take some pictures for use in advertizing.

Good to see pictures of the R50 hard at it. We have a 89 model
that now is a secondary to the R72. Do you bale the straw as
that unit must not have the chopper. Wish me wheat looked like
that. Ours is just coming into head, thin and 18" tall. We had
very little rain in May and June.

We do bale straw. No straw choppers on combine.  The stories of ground up, unbalable straw does not appear to hold true behind this machine.

Nice looking crop there Russ. Doesn't look very weedy. Did you spray or just have a good stand and cover early? Makes me miss harvesting wheat a little even.

Full no-til into corn silage ground, NO burn down, just 0.5 oz of Hamony Extra this spring.

Very Nice Russ.  Congrats on a terrific crop of wheat.  Now, if the beans and corn can do as well you'll get a much needed and deserved good year!!
