To leave your combine overnight when you're cutting beans in the hood. Steal the tires and wheels right off it.
Wow. Would not of believed you would have that problem in that part of Missouri

The work that some people will put into a life of crime to avoiding "working"... makes as much sense as the Dems questioning ACB!

Hopefully your just joking? But sadly it's been happening up here in Illinois too. Local JD dealer got a 4020 in on Friday and by the time they came back in on M9nday morning someone stole all 4 tires off it. Takes more than just a street thug to steal tractor tires.

Dang......and I thought the one seen today sitting in a field burnt was bad. I guess tires and wheels are cheaper though.
farmers have insurance to cover this sort a thing?

Never try to pull a combine by the back axle.
Just spoofing guys. Broke the main pin holding the rear end together. Had to pull rear axle assembly out to repair it. The ground is harder than a carp this year with a lot of deep washed out spots. Have broke all kinds of parts on the 2 combines this year trying to get over it,including 2 tye rod arms and a tire and rim.

Great to hear that you are spoofing. Maybe you should slow down a bit with the combine. It's not meant to drag race.

Good thing beans have gone up about $1.50 or so a bushel if you are going to have that much repair work needed due to rough field conditions. We got an inch of rain here a few days ago so now one just sees a trail of dust, prior to the rain you could not see the combine many times. We had one burn up in the field a few weeks ago. More expensive then losing an average home with everything in it.
