I've watched it several times and still really enjoy it.

Our trucks always had hoists as long as I can remember, but the old 1930 Ford AA didn't have one. Mom hated taking that to the elevator because the guys though it was great fun to start up the lift early and get her caught in the truck. OSHA would have had a hay day. I can't imagine riding the lift for that semi to unload. I'm amazed they didn't have hopper bottoms.

Our super 92 Massey would fill the straight truck in three bins. Same size truck now is full in just one bin from the JD 9500. Some of the machines are bigger, but it is all still the same.

Great video, kind of scares me though.
They're using newer equipment than I used!

Needless to say I enjoyed that. Here we are in Nebr 1951. I'm the good looking guy in the truck box. Hired girl brought out lunch.

That is a M, but was traded for your MD sometime after that harvest. It was running good at that time. LOL I will try and get you some history on yours.
