Nice.  This video reminds me.  There was a local guy here who farmed a couple of hundred acres with a JD R and a 141 combine just like if it was the 1950s.  He could squeeze a dime out of a nickel.  When the shovels on his plow wore down, he would just loosen the shanks and move them in closer.  I saw him one day cutting his crop so I stopped and went out caught a ride with him.  That engine blew the dust/chaff right at you.  He drove that thing slightly turned to the left to shield himself.  That was over 20 years ago and he is long gone.  He never took any money home from his crop either.  Always donate the to various charities and homeless shelters.

not many folks like that left now a days, I reckon the only cash he used for himself was to pay the taxes and for food.

Pretty cool to see the SM-TA's running the combines.
