Technicians like to Harvest Also

Several of our technicians yesterday got to enjoy harvesting crop in the field yesterday as part of a CR combine training. New Holland’s Cole Sanford was the leader of the class.  He did a powerpoint presentation followed by a live screen display, followed by a walk around and Q&A session.  During this training, Cole discussed some of the advantages of the New Holland combine and pointed out many of the servicing tips and tricks to making harvest a success!  After lunch, half of the crew went out to the field to cut soybeans!  A special thanks to Adam Nicholson and Tom Bearss for allowing us to use their combine and field for the training. The other half of the crew will be getting some stick time today. Hope everyone is having a great harvest!
