Here is the header in action….down go the stalks and in goes the corn

And of course things always have to have a down side.  One of the back tires when flat. 

Surprisingly the back tires are like the front tires of the car, they do all the moving of the combine.  The BIG tires on front support everything.  This always gets me confused, makes me feel like I’m backing up a trailer all the time.

But in the ‘spare’ combines was the perfect tire!

Last year one of the front ones went flat.  It’s nice to have parts.  (These tires cost bunches and bunches of money)
