Is it all wheel drive or 4x4? Looks a little heavy for any serious mudding. ;-)

Actually, in combines, there is. Nothing compares to the cat lexion. The jd's are nice, but lose a little grain. Still a great machine you updated for.

You should have bought a Ferrari instead. Don't they cost about the same? Ferrari's have higher CDI Factor.

This was my vote, but I was overruled..

With those machines you can brag to the rich people. You can tell them that you have something that it's a quarter of a million and you only use it for maybe 3 months out of the year.

Heck of an upgrade from the 9600. The 9860 will do twice the work. But I will agree with Kwood, the Lexions will outperform them in the field. I sell them and I have proven it several times. Regardless congrats on an awesome combine.

I was wondering... I didn't know if those storms that rolled through the other day did much damage to the crops or if people were collecting insurance

Hard to say for sure how much until we get to the field, but some of the wheat in the bottom land looked like it got a little freeze damage.. The heads we've checked on the higher ground look pretty good..

No hail on any of our stuff yet.. We had some very strong straight line winds last year in April that layed some fields down.. Had to run the header just off the ground & try to get the reel to pick it up.. That was s-l-o-w going!

Well that's good to hear about not getting any hail... I hear you about the wind laying the wheat over, being from the san angelo area we had to learn how to cut low from the lack of rain and wind! It's a pain but going slow is usually easier on the machines from what I've learned.

Looks a lot different than the one I drove during the
wheat harvest of '69.
