We finished cutting beans this afternoon, I just downloaded lots of pictures. I enjoy yours, here are some of ours.

Cool deal, you taught the dog how to drive! Mine can't keep his eyes on the road. The truck looks kinda sixty-ish,am I right? Not many of them still working. Yes, I did enjoy the pix. Thanks for posting. And glad you finished before any weather hits.

I hope he's not dialing 911 because he needs a drink! :lol:

Thanks for the pics. When I used to run on the harvest I enjoyed seeing the old trucks still paying their way in the western states. And they don't have a speck of rust on them.

By Sterling Colorado I drove a late 40's Ford ton and a half (I think)with a flathead V8 and a wooden grain box. It was loaded with wheat and I drove it from the field to the building site. When I took off in low the driveline windup was tremendous. The rest of the guys were laughing at me when the front of the truck was surging up and down until I got ahold of it. I didn't get it going much faster than maybe 15 MPH. Didn't want to blow a tire LOL.

Those berries look like the Lingonberries that grow in northern Europe. You can eat them off the vine. I wouldn't trust the ones in the pic. Jim

As I am just starting to look for a Case combine, I
am curious what model yours is and what size corn
and bean head you have?

Very cool pictures. Nice and sharp. Are those berries greenbriar or catbriar, depending on local? Does the dog have an ipad to go with his phone?

Erik,

Thanks for the great pictures - very informative. I don't know anthing about Kansas. When I think about Kansas, I think flat without any trees anywhere to be seen. Obviuosly, my impression is very wrong. Thanks for the education.

He's just bending over and holding the camera catywompas to make it look like hills :roll:

Hard to believe how fast that little dog grew.....

doubleN · Oct 30, 2012

Tony Vidlak · Oct 30, 2012

Nice pictures, Picture #2 looks like your pups driving the truck.That pup sure has grown, farm life looks like it agrees with your pup well.

That Ford cabover is the exact same truck as mine only mine is olive green. It's a "63 right? softest riding truck I've ever drove. Working on the tranny on mine and love it.

Erik Ks farmer · Oct 30, 2012

The truck is a 76, Ford had that same body style for a quite a run. It was a Sears delivery truck earlier in life, I found it sitting in a shed, new carb and intake gasket, alternator, voltage regulator, wheel cylinders and fluids and she's hauled all my grain the last 2 years. The combine is a 1660 with a 1063 6 row corn head and 20 ft 1020 flex head. Haven't been in good corn with it, ran about 3.5 mph in 40 bpa beans on one farm but had some green stem issues also. Pup is growing leaps and bounds, he is very alert and watchful, he sees my every move. Very good companion, has some good stock potential too, I was having trouble with a bred heifer a couple days back and he was watching from the truck. I had 13 of them in the pen and she was the lone ranger, I let the pup out and between the two of us we got her in. I have not made it a habit to let him do this, waiting until he is grown so that he is not rolled. I have been letting him walk through the cattle with me at feeding time so that he learns that there are times to work and times to let them be. Also teaching him to lay off when he is told.

Nice pictures, thanks for sharing. You have a good looking pup. I would suggest printing that first picture and framing it, that's a beautiful picture.

ihman73 · Oct 30, 2012

Nice pics Erik, I always like to see pics from other parts of the world. Guess that new combine is working out pretty good.

I see in picture 5, the little guy is already learning how to text, or is he calling in your lunch order? Boy these animals are getting smarter all the time.

Great pix.

Great pictures! What did you beans yield?

massey 333 · Oct 30, 2012

Michael,I hope you were kidding when you said softest ridding truck that you been in.Mine or any other like kind cabover will beat you to death on most roads(loaded or empty).Seat belts are OUT on a concrete or tar strip road.

Erik KS farmer,

Fantastic photos! Great quality... awesome subjects. Love the one where it looks like the dog may be driving (perhaps to take harvest photos). And the dog with the phone. Too funny. I think that ol" boy has a GREAT life ahead with you and your family.

Also love the one of beans through the combine window with the wiper blade in the middle. Really neat perspective.

All are great photos! Wow, that puppy is a dog now! Cannot believe how big he is already.

Well, late lunch is about over.

awsume pictures love the blue healer lost mine last year to cancer, for 12 years he went every where with me , you miss them when there gone

Those were called "Budd cab" Fords as the cabs were made by the Budd comapany. Mack used the same cab too but had 4 headlights instead of 2. I think Mack used them in the late 50's early 60's so Ford probably did too.

Always thought they were pretty cool but wondered how they connected the shifter that far forward.

Erik Ks farmer · Oct 31, 2012

By way of a shift cable, similar to a pto cable, I just replaced mine and it wasn't fun.
