Everything got fueled today. The MX240 showed up without front weights. We expect it to be a little to light to pull the 1040 grain cart the way it should. The remaining 3 combines were loaded onto trailers behind the straight trucks after we put headers in the back of each of them. The two tractors and grain carts got loaded onto trailers too and that is just a crazy sight to see. A couple guys went to get the 2 new MacDon draper heads which make for a big trailer load too. We expect to leave Thursday.

Made the journey north today into MN. I found I was almost the last to arrive and the trucks were already out being washed. It rained over 2 inches and the ground is to soggy to get the combines and headers out of the yard yet. I took some pictures which I'll post later. Tomorrow it looks like most everything will come together. A MX240 will show up to run the older grain cart and there are a couple MacDon heads to go get. Everything needs fuel and then we will load the machines onto the trailers.
