Combine Vs 2500 Hd

[jwieps]

Combine vs Chev 2500 I got these pictures in an email. This happened in Ontario.

 

Quote:The late model Chev pick-up was towing the trailer (notice the hitch is ripped from the truck). The driver ran a stop sign and drove into the feeder house of the combine. It is a wonder the driver of the pick up survived. He got through this with fairly minor injuries (I'm told). Would have been a different story for any passengers. Note how far the combine pushed the truck into the ground!!! The driver of the combine was not hurt. Incredible.

Um, yeah...dude got ran over - AT fault accident. Looks like a D-Max...but hard to tell by the pics.

green gas cap makes me think it was a Duramax. Hell of a nice chopper, he must have been booking it down the road in high gear as well.

I remember reading about that a while ago. The driver of the truck was a 17 year old kid.

And that's why we obey stop signs and lights folks.

The tow hooks are still good. Wasn't somebody on here looking for a set of towhooks?

Can you imagine calling your insurance agent up on that one....."Ahh,I was T-boned by a John Deere combine"

I was thinking the same thing.....How the hell fast do those things go in high gear? Obviously fast enough to total a 2500HD

WOW!!!!!!! That truck is........WOW!!!! Deerely departed from service. Deere Combine.....1 Chevy 2500 HD......0. I live in a very heavy farm community and we have issues all the time you hear about. Car hits tractor and shit tanker, or car vs tractor etc. But this is unreal. The combine did not look like it had a header on, thank God he didn't have a corn head on, spear the driver in that truck. Those Deere combines can go upwards of 20-25 mph now. In years past, 10 mph is about all you can get. That is gonna be a costly insurance deal, the combine is very expensive, just the feeder house parts, and well.......we all know how expensive these new Chevy's are, and it looks to be a D-max. Couldn't really tell what was in the trailer. That Deere pretty much dug that truck a grave.

A buddy of mine at work hit a tumbleweed in Arizona in his vette that had like 2K miles on it. Caused some damage. Called up insurance (Indiana) and said there was dead silence when he said a tumbleweed hit him.

OK,What is a "header" and a "corn feed"? Sorry,We have a lot of farms around here,but there full of cows!!!

[Deichler]

Rich, a header is what us "farm boys" call a head on a combine. There are different "headers" for different crops. The corn head is the one that looks like a hand, if you spread your hand out, then there is the grain head, has a big reel on it and cuts crops and the combine shucks and shells the crop, leaving only the harvested crop, corn or grain in the hopper, the big tank on top of the combine, the rest goes out the back, you can see the area where the shucked part of the crop would evacuate by the trailer. We are heavy in dairy as well, but in order to farm, you need equipment and a combine is a very important tool, as well as a tractor, or 2, and some machinery to plant as well. I hope this helps in the description, I know pics are helpful, but I am unable to locate a pic right now.
