@farmgurl99.bsky.socialGrant really wants this disc for the combine, but is wanting it a good enough reason to buy? It's wild how much smaller and different older combines are, but the core mechanics remain. Ours just got a flat, too. #laurafarms #combine #agtech #farming #equipment #harvest

@farmgurl99.bsky.socialA combine breaking down during harvest is a farmer's worst nightmare. Turns out, this one had been a long time coming. #laurafarms #rallyprotesters #harvest #farming #agtech #combine
@farmgurl99.bsky.socialThe combine feeder house chain is jammed. Found the master links; hopefully, taking them apart will free it up. Seems like it hasn't been moved in ages. #laurafarms #rallyprotesters #combine #harvesting #agtech #mechanics #farm
