Just to satisfy everyone's curiousity.

160 acres was harvested with 100 combines and several grain trucks in

10 minutes and 15 seconds.

This record will be entered in the Guiness World.

That is really cool. I'll have to show that picture of the John Deere's to my 4 year old.

It never ceases to amaze me how much money it costs for good farm machinery. I just found out yesterday that our 33 foot wide disc harrow cost more than 40 thousand dollars...and the tractor that pulls it...100 grand and it was used!! Our corn chopper...250,000 used.

As for that record, that is pretty cool. I thought knocking down an acre of corn every 5 minutes was fast. Of course that is one silage chopper and one truck. Here is a picture of what a 100 grand used tractor looks like...

Pretty cool though.

Nice job on the son stony. My daughters are 5 and 4, sons are 2 and 4 months. Even though he spent most of the spring riding in the White with me, he's decided that tractors have to be green, everything else is some form of truck.

I would be happy to have a tractor that could do any thing on 10 acres in a day.
That's what you call team work there in the pictures. Wonder what the bet was on who did the most??? ;D
I bet my tractor beats your tractor. :o
