=== Combines ===
88 along with 55 and 96, were getting the harvest done just like they did every year. One day, a new combine named Sts came. 88 and the other combines greeted the new combine and welcomed him into their business. Later on, 88 and 96 were harvesting one of their fields when they were approached by 14 and 23. 14 told them that his company was finally going to beat their company in the harvest race. However, 96 told him that there is a new combine to help them, which is enuff to make 14 and 23 leave. A few days later when Sts was sneaking off, 88 caught him and wanted him to explain where he's been going. When Sts told him he's been helping 14 and 23 harvest their fields, 88 was shocked. He told Sts that 14 is a con man who will do anything to be better then them. He then revealed that they are behind on the harvest and that if they don't finish all their fields by the deadline, their business might be shut down. After that, all 4 green combine worked their hardest to finishes harvesting the last field before 6:00. They eventually were able to finish before the deadline when Sts took over for 55 when he broke down. The next day, 55 announced his retirement to everyone. 88 was the most saddened by this news as he had worked with 55 the longest. Everyone said their final goodbyes to 55 before he left to live out his retirement years. 
=== Combines 2 ===
15 years later, 88 was still working for the Green Harvesting Company along with 96 and Sts. One day, 2 new combines named X9 and S7 appeared before them. He announced that he was taking over the company. The 3 combines didn't like this and Sts challenged the 2 new combines to a competition where the winner gets to keep the company. For the next few days, all combines worked extra hard to harvest the fields. However, 88 suffered a massive breakdown when he got several rocks jammed into his harvesting system, rocks that X9 and S7 put there on purpose to sabotage the contest. The breakdown ultimately put 88 out of service for the rest of the harvest season. This also cost the older combines the contest and X9 and S7 took over their company and kicked then out. The 3 combines were then offered to join 14, 23, and 80's harvesting company, which they agreed to. The next harvest season, 88 and all the other combines were working for the rebranded United Combines company.
