Husker Harvest Days pics.

[70ds]

I went to Husker Harvest Days on Tuesday the 15th. It was a good show as always. There was even a toy dealer. I got another truck for my collection. I will start off with a couple of demonstration videos I took. First is a Gleaner R-76 with a 12 row. They don't sound near as cool now that they put mufflers on them.

Second video is a Vermeer cob collector. It catches the cobs and blows out the leaves and trash. Some people feed the cobs I guess. They said it has to be dumped about every 3rd bin load. It would really slow you down in my opinion because it takes 90 seconds to dump it so you would have to stop every 3rd bin load that would really add up in good corn. IT was a neat rig to watch.

Here are a couple of the antique tractors from the show.




On to the new stuff.






Now for some field demo pics.













Now back to the show.









Gleaner's new flex draper.

Nice pictures. We have a large trade show up here this past week to and the AGCO guys wanted a flex draper here but couldn't get it. Looks like a nice header. I'd love to go there just to see some other equipment and the live harvest demos.

[Austin Stewart]

baker2, they are a very new idea, as far as I know vermeer is the only ones with a working model out.

Argh I missed the show oh well our cih dealer has a better display out front 9120 with 16 row, that thing is huge!

That is the first time I have ever seen one of those collectors. It is a neat rig for sure. I just hope that it works better than those bessler chaff wagons everyone used to pull around here. LOL

it separates cobs from the rest of the chaff. I beleive the cobs are then used for cellulistic ethanol.
