[AT] Harvesting in Sask

[charlie hill]

John, that's the same way I was thinking.  Our land here is either heavy 
clay or sand or sandy loam.  Traction is never good on the sand or loam and 
if it's wet you can hardly go at all on the clay.
Then I got to thinking about Ralph's conditions and they have a lot of wet 
conditions and problems with equipment getting stuck so I'm not sure that is 
the reason for having a pull type machine.

Nice looking machine Ralph.  I'm assuming the threshing mechanism is just 
like a 7720 self propelled unit.

Your soil must be quite a bit different than northeast Missouri.  Self 
propelled combines, particularly with real drive assist were a godsend for 
dealing with muddy fall fields around here. Part of the reason is the clay 
hard pans that trap water near the surface and with short drying days and 
not much strength in the sun, the fields just won't dry out if we get much 
rain in the fall.
