Well I'll be a cotton picker!
![]() The wife hails from Missouri, so on a few summer visits to see kin, I've seen cotton machines in the fields. Strange, they burn off the straw in those parts sometimes, we bale it here. |

The field behind my parents house (where I grew up) I used to love watching them work on. Dad parked his W9 and his SWD-9 out back and I could sit on the seat and watch the work in the field. Planting, tilling, etc. The farmer was not a brand specific guy- he had a Massey (815?) Combine (that worked really well but smoked a bunch) then he sold it and got a JD that he regrets buying. After the crops were harvested he used to pull an IH trailing plow (I forget which model) behind a JD 8440. He sold the JD but still has the plow (I believe) but doesn't use it anymore since he no-tills now. I liked watching it swing when it turned around at the end of the field. Then when he was done I'd go make trails with my bike through the clumps and ride on those the rest of fall/winter.
PS the farmer also owned a really nice 1086 MFWD with a mount o matic loader. Traded that in too. After that tractor left the farm I no longer had any favorites. He also had a Super M that he sold off when I was about 10.

How many hours will a combine/corn picker type machine run before the dirt wears it completely out?
I suspect they wear out pretty quick? |

To be honest, Mike. I'm not sure. You don't see much older equipment being run here. All you see is newer equipment.

All the parts grain rides on are replaceable. Hours of life depends on grain type and how big the head is. You don't want dirt to enter a combine. Only time it would is if a crop gets blown down. They aren't built to have dirt run through them. |

This type equipment has to go through just about the worst dirt abuse of anything on the planet. |

Ignore my post, Mike, that's fine. I answered your question. I'll respond again for others benefit.
"Dirt" does not run through a combine, grain does. They sit because not many farmers buy used anymore. Big farms and custom grain harvesters buy new, run it one or two seasons and trade it in. Also, lots of the same people lease them. I assure you, they are gone through by the dealer before they are sold. The market is saturated with used equipment right now. Smaller farms only trade combines every 7-10 years, or more. (We kept one on our farm for nearly 30 years.) It is a very expensive piece of machinery. |

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
