The original subject was "Re: Roll CallHow Often Do You Visit Here?".

I have been visiting this site off and on for around 2 years! I love reading all your stories and looking at the pics. I myself am 35, the son of a 2nd gen. farmer. I have loved growing up on the farm, but at an early age i knew it would never fall down to me because of the small size of the operation and the division even more of the land to the uncle and aunt that didn';t stay on the farm. I enjoy playing farmer when i help my old man during planting and harvest. We have a 78 715 with german diesel and 3 old gasser 715's for parts 2 are pretty well stripped and we are in the process of cutting them up for scrap. Not sure how much longer my dad will continue because of increasing prices of just about every aspect of farming plus the small guy is becoming a thing of the past making way for all the Walker's! and other corperate farmers. I am just glad my sons have had the experience of riding the old combine with grandpa. anyway hi to all and i will keep enjoying the site. wes

Most every day unless I"m on a trip visiting kids and grandkids.

 

[71ford100]

About three times a day. Oh if we are puttin age in here I'm 18.

Everyday. One cannot learn enough about old harvesters as less knowledge floats around about them as compared to tractors, trucks, and implements.

 

[Nathaniel Watts]

Everyday, no exceptions. Age 26

Man I hate to see one less small operation. Supplement your full-time income. Come on Wes, you can do it!

I like to pretend like I have the answer to everyone's problems, lol.

I visit everyday if in the office, almost never if working out on the roads.

Wes,
I guess I was the one that started this thread about a year ago.I often wondered how many people came by here but didnt post much.It appears that quite a few people come by here pretty regularly.

The hit counter on the modern view must not count all the traffic on the old forum. I think that we are starting to get quite a bit of interest in older combines.

Do you have any pictures of your 1978 715 IH.By the way I'm 58 and on cold snowy days like today I've been here at least 10 times or more.

Theres some good people on here and we dont fuss much.

I check here everyday. Have a MH35SP that I have known for about 40 yrs. It belonged to a neighbor and I kept track of it through 5 different owners and finally traded for it 3 yrs ago. Do I have a use for this combine? No, but I always wanted it. It sits inside out of the weather and I walk by it and tell it that someday I will have the time to get it running again. Right now I am working on a 1964 Emeryville cabover road tractor but that is something for another forum.BTW i'm 56yrs old
