Harvest Recap: 2009

[Austin Stewart]

Harvest went pretty smooth considering the conditions. A few belts, a new lower sieve, and 10 grand list of parts needed before next spring.

How this years harvest started out:











And how we ended up:











A few bystanders, the unseen skunk wasnt so lucky.



Not stuck, just showing the typical tracks we were leaving



I finally got the night time shots down.







Cleaning time...



Itch Powder, want some?



Just throwing this one in here for fun, its not real clear though.

Did I read that right, at only 1670 RPM you were going almost 35 MPH!? What's itch powder? Good to hear you had a good end to a poor start to harvest.

Boy I know that our Challenger gets up and goes but I dont think we had the 35+ mph option! hahaha

Great pics!

Nice pics.

Oh but you do Chris. Get it up to 32 MPH at 1400 RPM and mash the throttle. You can get up there for a little bit and then the governor kicks in and you slide forward in your seat when it goes back to 32 MPH.

Josh, "Itch Powder" would be the pollen and dust off of milo or sorghum (whichever you call it). At the end of a wet year there will be pounds of the crap stuck in and on the combine. We have a 5 lb. pile of it where we cleaned the combine off and whenever someone drives over it, it kicks up the dust and you better not be standing close .
