    My granddad had a 55 John Deere that I learned on. I remember him getting it out of the shed getting it prepared for harvest. Then we’d head out into the field and the dogs would follow all excited. It really brings back memories.

    Hi Bill,..one enjoy to see your low stress farming style with all the mechanical issues face daily are sort without costly repairs and most of all your strong faith too. We had many of this era J.Deere combines around here as i once rode on a new J.D. 105 with 22' head in 1968 it was the largest combine then next to N.Holland M140. Best regards, Bill.

    Thanks for sharing the video Bill. Ole 40 didn't let you down. Neighbor cut my wheat last week with a 9660 John Deere. I rode with him and I told him that was not like the combines I had through the years. Yes sir God provides for us all. Y'all will have a plenty of good flour for the delicious meals of whatever they make from it. Hope y'all have a great summer too.

    Southcentral Kansas wheat harvest has been done for about 2 weeks now, most were seeing 60 bpa down to 10 bpa is spots. Most wheat stubble is planted to either soybeans or milo. Hope you have plenty of grain for a mountain of flapjacks. Stay Blessed friend!

    One would think to harvest wheat you would need a grain cart!

      I would love to find an old John Deere grain cart, but I don't raise enough to quite fill the hopper on the combine!😆

    You have some really cool stuff Bill! Although I don't know enough about John Deer to know what you're showing us I surely recognize classic American ingenuity. Nice touch with the box end wrench today 😉. One question, aren't your cows for eating? Keep the videos coming friend.

    Nice to see the old equipment but you don't need to combine the field in practically road gear. Would have kept the sediment problem to a minimum.
