In Aerial North, why is the yellow combine so far behind at the top?

 

[Don Boles]

Ah, that's probably Jester RM, sitting back, having a beer, taking in the scenery.

I don't think it's even on a swath.

Ha, saw that as well but it appears to be a 'just in case' combine.
But if I was there, you pretty much nailed down what I would have been doing!!

 

[Don Boles]

Indeed.
World's most inefficient swathing to setup for world record harvest.

I like the photo labeled Aerial Full, when you drag the pointer over it.
May just order one of those.

[traktorman]

imagine the pain in the a** swathing that

 

[gracevalley]

New Holland was just a backup combine . It was quite the site. I had my combine in the record harvest and it was unreal having 200 combines on same field.

 

[Don Boles]

In the Aerial full shot, which one is you?

That does look like it was a fun day.
How did the Meridian bin auction go?
Congrats on being part of this.

I am combine #29 on the north row. That would be from the highway side. I am the combine on the left in low aireal photo 2 with the guys sitting on top of the cab. The nice red combine.

I just gotta ask if those are the headers that belong on the machines or were they somehow provided for space reasons

 

[Don Boles]

Um, well, those are pickup headers. They are only about 1/2 as wide as a direct cut header.
The crop has already been cut and put into a narrow "windrow".
In a event like this it would not be practical or safe to direct cut the crop, by "windrowing" ahead of time, far more room is provided.
Sure hope I'm not being hornsoggled here.
