Ive come across some interesting photage, on a old VCR tape that ozzybigbird had laying around. After watching it, fiddeling around with ways to get it transferred to DVD's and finally even more mucking around with ways to get it on the internet i succeded.

This is proberbly a very rare item, as it is made by a proffesional film crew and by the look of it, it didnt come cheap. However, it has never been put to any commercial use. So i asked him if i could put it on the internet, and he said yes.

So here you go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEXLlr0JoM4

All credits goes to Ozzybigbird

Enjoy!

I have always loved that first song, and really like C. W. McCall in general. I know the song is well over 30 years old too, but I cannot help but think about it, every time I just see your handle on here, in the first place. Now you know why, without me telling.

Excellent video.

Would like some more info on the way that the headers are towed behind the combine.

If towing a JD 936D header, could you add a hitch to the combine and a dolly wheel under the hitch on the 936D?

Funny- this is filmed on the farm I grew up on- my father was the one that buildt the farm and who got the video made together with "Ozzybigbird". The farm was sold to a mining company a few years ago. The farm was certified organic- nothing left there now- just a coal mine. 50,000 acres is a bit over the mark, we farmed about 35,000 acres, and there was 10,000 of grass land.
