I may never have been on a farm, but isn't a combine scarier? Doesn't that have those big freaking shredder things on the front that look like they'll eat you up and spit you out the other side? Isn't that what you use to collect the wheat or some other?

hahaha

a combine is scary, but moves a lil slower thru the field
its used to harvest corn, soybeans and wheat in our operation, and that thing on the front is called the head, it pulls the crop into the combine, and the corn head could break your leg, if not kill you, but yea its scary, and i get to drive it (and i don't even own it, my dad does)

You'll have to forgive some of us if we are quick tempered. Some of us work with the public all day long and come home quite "hot". Personally, I don't mind newb questions much (except others like "what size tires fit" that have been asked 1,000,001 times), just bad manners or disrespect. Now we see that you weren't bad mannered, you're just so used to being "one of the guys" you didn't notice that you didn't properly introduce yourself.
Ah, gotcha.

Yep, so used to being "one of the guys" I didn't even think of that... lol. Ah well. Thanks for the explanation. Makes way more sense now.

Yep, I've only seen them on TV, specially on Scary Movies based on farms & such. You guys ever catch any varmints in those things when you're harvesting a field, or does it make so much racket everything scatters? I though those things were so expensive now a days that some farmers were leasing or renting them for the season instead of buying them any more?

they do make an all-aluminum replacement radiator for our Dodges...I have one! Bought it from this place. No plastic tanks. Spent about $250 I think. Had it about 10 months, no problems and if it ever leaks, I can just get it TIG'd.
