2011 Harvesting soybeans on the home place

We are harvesting soybeans on the home place. Our combine is a 1992 CaseIH 1660 with 1020 20' head.
We are unloading into our gravity box. Our Dad is pulling it with a 1954 Allis Chalmers WD-45. One dump from the combine fills the gravity box.
Dad is hauling the beans to the grain bin. He can keep up to the combine with the one gravity box because it is only 1/3 mile to the bin.
We are unloading the box with a Westfield 80-61 auger powered with a John Deere 3020 diesel.

2011 Harvest on rented land


We are harvesting soybeans on one of our rented fields. Our combine is a 1992 CaseIH 1660 with 1020 20' head.
We are unloading into our 300 bushel grain trailer that we are pulling with our International S1900 truck. We also haul 150 bushel in the truck.
To get the beans unloaded from the truck and trailer we dug a pit and buried a plywood box. We inserted a 8" hydraulic auger to transfer the beans to the Westfield 80-61 auger.
Our furthest field is 10 miles away, so we can not make it back to the field before the combine was full so we made a few trips with the little gravity box also.
