View of the day-We're not sure what the model number of this green one is..
.
We got to sleep in past the magic 8am hour and were listening to a local radio station when we heard that the CaseIH ProHarvest kickoff breakfast was on this morning...WHAT?? Why weren't we informed..oh wait, they will have another one tomorrow, so we will still get in on the safety meeting.
We took a run into Frederick to see if we could find the elusive circuit breaker...no luck, but the NAPA man had some very good ideas for us to try when we got back to the truck. We stopped in at the CaseIH dealership and got to visit with Ray fro
m ProHarvest, and we are so happy to see him back this year...he always takes good care of us and with the new rig, he will be speed dial #1 on the cell phone. We stopped by the phone company to see about getting internet service and since we are regular customers, we are able to get high speed without a contract...that was a nice treat.
We went back to Davidson to do some work on the machines...get stuff installed in the combine and such. The clouds had been starting to build and there was lightning and thunder getting closer all the time, so after one particularly loud crack and the ensuing rain, we decided to wait until tomorrow for the fixing and gather up the laundry and go to Vernon. We did the laundry first, then went out for supper before getting some shopping done.
While Marilyn was shopping at Wal Mart Al had some time to kill so he
drove around to see if any other crews were around. Well, he came upon this Deere combine, it was in a locked compound so he couldn't get to close to it. It was still on a trailer and the wheels were not on it yet. It is some sort of a proto type machine because it had no model numbers on it and also the cab and back end were a lot different then a regular Deere. The thing that Al really noticed was what he thought was the exhaust...it was located on the
back of the combine and it looked to be about 10" in diameter...quite big, his guess it is probably something for the emissions standards that the manufactures have to meet. We don't care if anyone wants to cut and paste these pictures to other sites but Al would like to have it mentioned that he took the pics...so all you "Green" guys enjoy.
We got back to the camper and after getting everything put away, called it a day. Too bad we didn't get to bed early, we have to be at the breakfast at 7am tomorrow.
It is going to be a long day...

Hey, the guys think those 'green' photo's are the best pics you've ever had on the website!
Nice shot of the green combine. I hope you enjoy your new combine and have a safe season. I enjoy reading your blogs every day thanks.
That prototype deere looks like a beast! Hope you have a safe season!
