    My dd had two of those. He farmed 700 acres of grain with them when I was very young. Great little combines.

      I wanted this size so I could drive it on a trailer and take it to shows. Love the sound of that slant 6.

    That is a good looking vintage machine. Be ideal for a small operation. Interesting trip out to the highway

    When I was driving truck hauling cows we used to haul cows out of ranches like that that was always fun.

    Must have been an estate sale? looks like there would be some treasures hiding in those shed out there. Ive got family friends with a ranch out by Ainsworth, talk about a way out in the middle of nowhere. It's extremely cool though nonetheless. glad you got it loaded and hauled out!

    • @tmonteIH
      @tmonteIH  Рік тому

      They actually sold all the ground and about a two dozen pieces of machinery at an auction in town. They sold the combine wear it sat at the ranch. I bought a MF 180 tractor too. Should’ve bought an Oliver 1800 too.

      I’d say about 4 years later my father bought a 760 Massey with a 24 ft grain table on it for 21000 dollars and 3 old 55 jd combines, the kids were leaving, it out cut the 55’s and a 95 so easily all combines had air conditioners then

      If you are raising cattle, you need to live where the cattle are. In calving season, they need around the clock care and monitoring.

    My grandfather had one somewhere in the 300 number, thought it was a 330 but doubt that. Sixty years ago, no cab and probably 4 to 500 acres a year of milo,must have been cheap when he bought it, because everything else was deere. The poor guy that had to run it would baby powdered up real good before starting. I preferred a non cab tractor in my youth and still do. Don't buy a qubota they are b b q pits and will cook you, terrible tractors.
