Where you at Jake?

Wheat around here still has a ton of green on it, I'd say at least 2 weeks out. Probably looking like it'll be closer to three.

Wheat is behind this year.

Sweet.Second already?

Nope, wish all my 1st cut was that nice. We need some more rain to get 2nd cut going.

How's the Deere run vs the axle flow?

 

[jakethesnake]

Red ones will eat it alive it can hang close in corn but nothing else. Had a 1460 before the 2388 in the picture the ol 1460 even made her look silly. The 9500 is solid but the ih case ih They're animals

 

[jakethesnake]

The rotor in general is a better setup I believe vs cylinder They both work but even deere stepped up to rotors I've not treys the rotor in the deere but I think when I upgrade that machine that's what I'd like to find. That will be several years from now hopefully. Ol man just dumped big cash spiffin the 9500 up a couple years back Good machine again. I will say I think I like ih mid sized machines better than the big ones We have had some shaking issues. That is a whole different conversation. And the issue I speak of has a remedy so. I like em both well but guess I gotta nod the hat to ih

I stepped (more like 100o) up from a Gleaner F2 into a 1660! We looked at a 9500 kinda glad we got the 1660 it's so smooth compared to that old gleaner.
Anyone that will tell you the truth says the same thing as you there's a reason why everyone went Rotary plus a green combine with all the red tractors...........

 

[jakethesnake]

You done right

In before the rain! Done making 1st cutting!
