| The worst thing about the bigger combines at least in the eastern part of the United States is moving the combine from one small field to the next. There a lot of two lane roads with no shoulder with a deep ditch. A neighbor who in his early twenties row cropping and he running a CaseIH 1660 combine now. He likes the size because width of the machine without a head on it when moving on the road. Now maybe in twenty years farmers will have come with a different crop or plan for farming the smaller fields.
In areas with wide roads and shoulders to get over for traffic the bigger combines that couldn’t be a problem.
I see a lot of fields farmed in my area of Middle Tennessee I say it take longer to take the head off and on and move again than harvesting the crop.
I miss the days with less traffic on the country roads. | |
