There’s A Stroller In That Combine
 ✖  |
“I’m a big John Deere guy and wanted to have some fun,” says Taylor Neth about his “baby stroller makeover.” FARM SHOW readers may remember his first combine stroller (Vol. 46, No. 5) for his son, Braxton, which was made of a wooden frame and cardboard surrounding a basic stroller.
When his daughter, Hadley, was born in 2023, Neth decided it was time for Combine Stroller 2.0. He upgraded to thin plywood instead of cardboard and changed the corn head to a spinning soybean head.
The head is made with cotter pins covered with tire valve caps. The PVC auger rotates in and out over a steel ball. The polyester foam wheels’ mini rods and acorn nuts make them look real.
“I tried to duplicate an X9 series combine as much as possible. The whole thing comes apart in 10 pieces,” Neth says.
He credits his dad, Wade, a retired autobody professional, for using automotive paints to give the combine a first-class paint job.
Finished with a yellow stripe and John Deere logos, the combine stroller was a hit at farm shows, Husker Harvest Days and a Camp Creek Thresher event this summer. And, though he’s a little too big, 3 1/2-year-old Braxton managed to squeeze in the small stroller inside the combine.
Neth’s wife, Chera, is impressed with the details and that it’s not too heavy (about 40 lbs.) and easy to handle. Plans were to use it for Halloween. Indeed the kids will want to ride in it every chance they can get—until they no longer fit.
“I just want to have some fun with the kids,” Neth says.
