How many of you on ATOT have ever driven a Header?

One of the awesome things about working on the farm 😀

It doesnt really seem like work 😉

I've only ever driven a 36-foot or smaller comb but that was plenty cool.
 
36 really isnt considered "small"

But yes, I've driven them. The enjoyment wears off after about...ohhh...2 times around (or down and back, depending how your going).
Much prefer the grain cart. Theres a dont-do-nothing job. 4 minutes of pacing the combine to unload, 20 minutes of pickin your ass waiting.

Nightime? Prefer the trucks then. Just sit up top and watch the combines slowly work around the field, with a cool evening breeze blowing and munch on the wheat. 🙂

Yeah, I'm a farmboy stuck in the city. 🙁
 
I drive a golf cart at the zoo as a horticulturist...

But I work with shovels, pitchforks, tillers, chainsaws, handsaws, hedgetrimmers, edgers, aerators (sp?), and other stuff like that.

I'm pretty close to a farmer for somebody who lives and works in the suburbs 🙂

LOL, so true...I try to get the grain cart when I can, 'cause the cab's got a/c. Our trucks don't. 🙁

I've never worked on a farm but I drive one as my daily driver. I picked it for its poor fuel economy and excessively large size.

..never did that but played around wit a Case Construction King back ho..dang you can really dig some serious holes with them things. Had to pass a creek under a road so I installed a 12"x 20' culvert and dug 2 small ponds on each side of the culvert..so now I got a bunch of little green froges in the ponds..have no idea where they came from except possibly got washed down stream and ended up in my little ponds.
 
We have two and also i've drove a fugging nice deere. Our two our internationals (they are teh same)

We also have a big articulated tractor (also international), 2 open cab turbos, and a enclosed cab turbo plus a bunch of other stuff

you are right, it is a good time.


MOST FUN SPORT: Shooting fleeing animals out the door of the combine.

on the farm i work on they just picked up a brand new CAT header (36-foot comb) 😀 They've also got a big CAT challenger tracked tractor which is rather nifty 😉

Old one was a New Holland.
