Combines Unit 2 IJIJ

4WDman, That's not such of an odd question. Athough we live in opposite directions from Hesston I know Jim Bruchaker. In Fact the two 2188s that I was runing untill this fall were bought new by him in 97. You said you worked for him in 97 so you were familiar with the two machines I had. This internet thing makes it a small world. As for your question, "What kind of combines is he runing now". I can't tell you. The only time I get to talk with him is if we cross paths on the harvest run some place, and I have'nt seen him in couple of years. K.A.

Not to butt in or anything but I do see them every year at one of my stops in Kansas I do believe they have around 6 2388's. They do fall cutting for one of the farmers what we cut wheat for.

Thanks guys!! I was just curious. I haven't been out there in a while. I didn't think he would change over to MF. It really isn't that easy to just switch an intire fleet of combines over to another brand. At least I wouldn't think so. All the tools and equipment are sent up for CASEIH. I didn't drive combine much out there. I didn't like it. I drove truck most of the time. (I now do it for a living) Grain cart once in a while. The custom Harvest was something I wanted to do for a long time. We had a lot of guys from around here go out with Brubacher's in the past. They talked me into going out with him instead of S and l from Imperial, NE. I was the only American on the crew from the states other than a couple local boys and Brubacher's kids. The rest were all from Australia. It was an "Educational Experiance" !! Still Fun!!! I also ran with a custom Silage crew for 3 weeks before fall harvest. That was work!! Also something I will not forget!! Thanks Again!! Steve V. NW, OHIO

I am sure that all the aussies would have been quiet non-drinking,non-partying types.john

Bullseye!! I will never forget the day they called the bar tender from Texas a Yankee!! Then started to argue with him!! They say you learn something new every day. That was just one of those "Educational Experiance"!! All In Fun!! Steve V. NW, OHIO

Of course most aussies are the steady non-drinker like myself!!!!!!!
