I took a couple of worn out washing machines to the scrap yard today- got $32 for the pair didn't think that was to bad. While I was there I saw a few things that made me wonder. 3 Claas 108 combines setting there waiting to be scrapped. I guess I'm behind the times to think they're to new to be broken for scrap. What puzzles me is how three of them came to be in the metal yard of our small city. I'm also wondering why they didn't get parked somewhere and robbed of parts for a few years before they went to the breakers. I always figured Claas parts would be expensive and hard to get so I assumed they'd be can birds for a few years before they got scrapped. They also had a big pile of scrap that was mostly farm equipment (one of the Claases was at the bottom of the pile) about 1/2 way up on one side there was a green and yellow small square baler sticking out, I assumed John Deere, but the more I looked at it the more something didn't seem right. Got to wondering why someone would paint a New Holland baler green & yellow? Packer thing maybe? Did John Deere ever make a small square baler with the flywheel on the front at the end of the PTO shaft like about everyone else did? It appears our small local scrap yard has been sold to a company with 4 or 5 of them yet we seem to be getting more for the scrap metal, better management? More price pressure?

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
