Dealership Equipment

Well the last couple of days I have been working in the trailer all day selling parts. That means I haven't had a chance to get any pictures. I have gone on two parts runs but the first one was late at night so it was just about dark by the time I got there to the field. I didn't make it back to the hotel around 11 that night, that made for a 15 hour day. I have taken a few pictures at the dealership we are located at so I thought I would put them up for everyone.

These first two are of a self-propelled hay conditioner. I climbed inside of this one to check it out and I really think dad should get one of these. I think it is about 15 feet wide and it has air-ride suspension on it so it will cut pretty fast. There are a lot of these in this area. I think there are 4 or 5 brand new ones at the dealership.




This is just a center pivot mower but what I thought was interesting is that it doesn't have a PTO shaft. If you look at the front of the hitch it has a pump that hooks up to the PTO. That hydraulic pump is what powers the whole machine.


This is obviously not at the dealership but I thought it was cool looking. I went on a parts delivery to Helena, OK and on my way there I saw this on the side of the road. There is a little veterans memorial by the road and it had this huge anchor with it. I took the picture of it when I was on my way back to the trailer.


We got a little rain here earlier this week and so the fields have been a little soft but the custom harvesters don't like waiting so they kept trying to get in to cut the wheat. With that combination we had 3 combines in one day get stuck, two of which they had to get a bulldozer to get them out of the hole they were in. One of the combines that got stuck was the demo machine that we brought with us down here. It is back at the dealership now and we are cleaning it up and taking any bad parts off to replace because it was pretty deep in the mud. Dane, the other intern, was working near where it got stuck so he got some pictures of it so I should be able to get those from him soon and put them up for everyone.
