(quoted from post at 16:32:29 06/20/08) hey farmers what is this guy doing?

Is this a trick question????

He's combining some kind of small grain with a #82 IH combine.

Well, it looks like he combining grain. I'm relly pushing the old eyes, but it looks like there's a guy on top of the combine, dropping a bag of grain down a chute. They used to bag grain and drop the bags down the chute to the ground for later pickup. Tractor looks like a Deutz, and I can't identify the combine, perhaps European? Where was picture taken?

no trick, around this area they grow and process a lot of hay, but this field is different. I thought grain of some sort. I watched and it looks like a lot going in but none coming out. Do they fill the harvester and then empty it?

Grain fills the hopper and then is discharged all at once when next to a truck. My golly, have you ever seen a self-propelled combine fill a grain truck before?

What appears to be a man in the grain tank is actualy the grain tank unloading augor. I think he is harvesting soybeans and I agree it is an IHC model # 80 combine. On the top of the unloading augor is a shiney piece of metal that is being used as a spout. Armand

Deutz tractor pulling an IH 82 combine. Grandpa had an 82 that I ran a couple of years. Can't say for usre what the grain is, but it's not soybeans - straw is wrong for beans.

I think he may be cutting wheat.

The color of the field, I think it's buckwheat being combined. I see a bin on it and not a sacker, they had smaller bins on them,setting a little higher with a two sack outlet that you could change from sack to the other, as the driver kept it going. 4 sacks on the chute,one on the sacker floor was to be dropped together and usually came close to where the last round was for easier picking up.I think there was one built,that the sacker was behind the cutting head, The McCormick deering I used to ride, was where the bin is on the one shone
