This combine is a John Deere X9 with an eight row corn head. With a different head it can also harvest soybeans. Depending on the model it has 630-690 hp and can harvest 75,000 to 100,000 bushels of corn a day. They cost $500,000 to $1,000,000 depending on which model and which accessories. They cost more than a Ferrari.
Now if Cary Grant had been chased by that thing, it might have ended differently.....

ReplyDeleteSummer has ended. It is Thanksgiving weekend here which always sees like the end of cottage visits.

ReplyDeleteThis is the farmer's pay off for a year of raising crops. They would be happier if the price of grain would rise.
