Spent a summer on harvest last year.
Some of those machines are massive.It’s a weird when they unload into your trailer (I was on grain cart).
You start off being able to keep pace with the combine, but as the trailer fills, it really takes the wind out of the tractor’s sails.
Our tractors had engines !
I did one harvest many years ago driving a Massey Harris 355 (think it was) open to the dust driving position and only a 12 foot cut and when doing the barley the needles really penatrated the skin causing massive itching and the more you scratched the worse it got, the harvest bonus and the glass of warm mild beer at teatime did not in any way compensate for the torture …
