My father often said "we used to drive a Mercedes and a Porsche in those days!" - Porsche diesel tractor it was...

The JDLanz combine lasted only 10 years. The bagging station was replaced with a grain tank later. I remember riding on the open station to the dealer when dad sold it. I was 3 then...

We then shared a Claas Mercator like on my last pic with  a neighbour before dad purchased the same model on his own in 1980. I drove that one mainly from when I had a license ('83) through to 2000 when I purchased the 88 in the middle of harvest.

Edit, you farmed in Germany earlier?
