Stripping Rice in SW LA (With a guest)

[dph]

Today was the first day of rice harvest around here. I was showing Mason72x around South Louisiana since he came to visit and found my cousin had started cutting. When we got there, they were about to wrap up for the night, but when they found out I brought them a guest they decided to cut one more hopper full and take him for a ride.
The New Combine! 9670 Bullet Rotor.

The 9520, belongs to my cousin's son-in-law whose been farming some of the land.

The 9270 is still on the farm. My cousin says it's still the best tractor he's ever owned.

The combine as well as the 385 still have the plastic on the seats.

i noticed that the 9670 has the old style spreader system on it... is this just on the rice combines? or can you still order from factory like that

I believe they can still be ordered that way. Most of the combines around here still have them.
