OK, Iowa you asked for it:

I think you picked the wrong color scheme for your bike, after all you are in Iowa, and a self proclaimed "Cord Fed Beakster" You should have chose this scheme: :shock:

I deserve this.

What about the guy who does own this bike?

What a moron, riding that around without the planter! :roll: You look like a poser without a 36 row planter. Everyone knows that.

that's a Kinze planter by the way. Buy the best.

look at those guys on the east coast: movies, slide shows, numerous albums and stories.

I agree. Jiri must be trying to type the story out on his Blackberry (or what ever that little thing is that he can't seem to put down)... :roll: :lol:

That is the largest planter I have ever seen! And I have seen many. :roll: Iowa, do you drive one of those? Wait a minute, is that real? :lol:

I drive a camry.

Yeah it's real.

I did some work for Kinze. What an amazing guy. He showed me some of his collection of farm machinery. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! The harvester prototype that he is building......WOW.

He must have world's largest collection of farm machinery, restored to museum quality. I imagine someday when he is gone, It will be exactly that, a museum.

Here are some pics from outside his manufacturing plant. What a nut. I found these on a farm power discussion board.

The planter rotates every 15 minutes! :D
