I'm in Athena, Oregon. About 20 miles from Pendleton. I don't have a farm myself, but I'm friends with a farmer who has an '80 and '81 N6, three wheat trucks, a D6 Cat, and a Versatile 835. Raises mainly wheat, some garb's and a little mustard. Jeremy

Hi John, I'm from Wisconsin between Madison and Milwaukee. We currently run a 1989 R50 w_ 15' flex and 6R30", and a 1985 N7 w_ 25' flex, 12R30", and a 8R30". Dad started with a A2 and since then he has had a F, M, l2 and R50. My brother bought the N7 this spring from a guy who claimed he set the world record for corn harvested back in the early 90's, there was an article in the Toy Farmer about the combine a few years ago. In fact we just used the 12 row for the first time today, it's huge! We also had a 1981 N6 for 2 seasons wich was sold for the N7. A friend bought the N6 and another bought a 1982 N7. It's a nice looking lineup when you get the R50, 2 N7's and the N6 in the same field. I'll try to get some pics on the web in the next few weeks.

I live in eastern Washington state about 60 miles from Mac Tech. The area is part of the "Palouse" region which is rolling farmland named after the Palouse Indian tribe. We also have the Blue Mountains which run south down into Oregon and makes a beautifull contrast to the ripe wheat fields during the summertime. I work in a sawmill fulltime now, but I still help freinds out on weekends with there operation when needed. I enjoy taking pictures of this area and the web is a great way to display them. My favorites are the harvest photos, especially on some of our steep hillsides which are also some of the most challenging to capture. The Gleaner rotarys are my favorite to capture on film and are the most exciting to watch. When you have duals on the front and rear wheel assist, they will go places the hillside machines would be leveled out and leaning! Gleaner has always been my favorite. They have always kept the operator and the mechanic in mind when they design there machines.--Ray

located near Allentown in east central PA. Run a 1982 F2 Gleaner with 430 corn and 313 flex. Grow certified oats, wheat, barley, soybeans, and buckwheat. Also corn and occasionally sunflower. No corn to harvest this year, total loss due to drought. Only grew to height of 30 inches. Hope for better weather next year. This site is terrific as are the experts.

No corn this year due to drought. Total loss only reached 30 inches in height. We can only hope for rain next year. A lot of excellent advice from all the experts on this site.
