Combine Demolition Derby



The ultimate redneck sport, running machines costing hundreds of thousands of dollars into each other for the joy of spectators. (via Happy Place)

  1. New Combines cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. But none of these are new.

    Just by the lack of a cab, I can tell some of them are over 20 years old. There is no market for old combines, they are practically worthless.

    There is a farm equipment junkyard about 30 miles from my house. They have acres and acres of old machines like these.

  2. Thanks Don, glad to hear that because while watching I was thinking those machines might have saved some small farmer from failing.
    But I guess thinking "small farmer" is dumb, there are no small farmers needing a combine.
