Morning everybody.
I remember 19. I was cutting wheat that summer. Started out in Oklahoma and took a bus home from Minot, North Dakota. That was a fun summer.

If I remember, I went home with about $700. About 2 1/2 months of work. Not much money but they paid for my living expenses. It was a family operation. Dad and Mom, 2 son's and me. 2 Gleaner L combines, 2 C60 Chevy grain trucks, a C50 grain truck, a service truck, a car and a mobile home. Didn't really start cutting wheat till about 9am, had to wait for the dew to lift. So we would service all the equipment while we waited.

 

[Workshop]

I learned how to keep from slugging up a combine after I slugged it up a few times. We had lights on the combines but I don't think we stayed late enough to use them too often. Usually stopped just before it got dark.

Those 7720's were good machines.

Neighbor ran a 7720 Titan for about 7000 seperator hours before finally getting a 9650
I think it was.

The new line of gleaners may be promising.
But I don't know anyone with a new one.

Shalie's Uncle ran a 7720 and 6620 for awhile before selling both off to buy an 8XXX series newer, larger model... That 7720 was a joy to run and would talk to you plenty if you were smart enough to listen to her... Only had a 24' rigid header, but you could run pretty decent speed in 30-50 bushel wheat w/o slugging her.
