Yorktown, TX | My Opa had a Massey Harris SP combine that was the first self propelled combine in Gillespie county Texas. It was older than the 35 but very similar, and had cable steering all the way back to the single tire in the rear. It had an 8' grain table that had a canvas with bats on it, a small hopper with a sacking station on the side. He cut wheat, oats, barley, and corn. To cut the corn he had to raise the reel all the way up and drive extremely slow, but it did it. With that small combine he harvested 200 acres of his own crops, and right at 1000 acres custom. Him, my Oma, and my dad would work very late and start as early as possible. They just slept in the truck camper in the fields till harvest was over. We still have the combine sitting out under the trees in Fredericksburg. The motor still runs. I want to fix it up someday in the future.
