it's official

thanks AC...where can I find them on the web to see them? the 20 ft head is to big for my hills, already had one of those and traded it for a smaller one. I have 2 good IH 1440's, one with the 6-row head and one with the platform! call me lazy, but i can cut beans or change to corn in just the time it takes to walk from one to the other! lol

well....the big green farmers harvested my beans Sunday Oct 8th, don't have the yield results yet. they were nice looking beans, i was concerned they might be BB beans cuz of the lack of rains this year, but they came out full sized. alot of dust this year, seemed more than normal. I did watch them stop a few times to let the dust clear away from the machine before continuing. they used a draper head, I didn't know they made drapers that small, appeared to be about a 20 ft one.

back in 1979 when I was put in the hospital for breathing problems, Doc told me I would hafta get a cabbed tractor if I was gonna continue farming. the dust was what was causing my breathing problems. that's when I bought my 7010 new un 1980. that solved my breathing problems.

maybe you don't need air cond...but I do!

The worst days I’ve ever spent farming were in a cabbed tractor with no air conditioning in summer. Wind was nearly non existent, dirt was dry, disc was making a huge dust cloud around the tractor. Kept the doors shut to keep the dust out but I think I lost a few pounds in water weight from sweat.

Maybe run that darn machine while you're in the field that will keep you cool and put some moisture on the field at the same time.

Search Allis chalmers on big Iron auctions, Shameless.
There is an allis chalmers 8550 on there coming up at DeSmet south Dakota

I, for one, recommend an old articulated tractor like the Steigers or Versatiles. Easier to work on than a fixed frame MFWD from my experience. And if you have a pull type planter they are great…never run out of power or traction, and you don’t have to bulb your turns at the end.

Congratulations on ending that hassle with the stockholders, shameless!! I’m really happy for you. Have fun out there getting the land back into shape. Now if I could just do the same with my stockholders.

72 acres all together, 57 tillable

You can easily get by with a WD-45, and 2-3 bottom plow. Plus all the extras.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

where are them 440's?

CONGRATS on your purchase! Not sure this is a good time to start farming again due to the high cost of the inputs.

I am sure your farm was destroyed by the current guys, so you will have a LOT of work to get the fields back the way you want them to be.

P.S.---- I know where there are 2 AC 440's and an N-5 that can be had!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!

Shameless just enjoy yourself and don't try and over do it and mess up yoyr health.

Greg...i got what would have been close to my 1/3 rd share plus cash for the remainder that i didn't get due to the way the land sets. plus the house we live in now. i'll still get 1/2 of the present crop on it for this year. guess i'll be farming it just myself next year. will hafta dig out my equipment and grease/oil everything up over the winter. gotta have my 7010 looked at. always something huh! I don't know if i'll replace the grassed waterways that the big green farmers tore out, and also a dam they tore out. will hafta prolly plow the corners they couldn't farm. guess they don't know what one of them hyd levers do in their cabs! i'll know more after the crop is out as to what kinda shape the ground is in. most any rows that had a curve in it, they just ran it down, the crop never made it into the combine. must be straight line farmers only. niether I nor them will hafta worry about it from now on, they won't be on this farm again. I should be able to make some money that they wasted out there.

Congratulations!
