You don’t need a lot of weight in my opinion unless you’re plowing and tillage. We still have calcium in everything. I’ll go to washer fluid when the time comes i bust one

We’re still allowed to used antifreeze at the moment

Thanks for that your hay equipment is so different from ours I haven’t seen a sickle mower for a tractor for years there’s a few pedestrian mowers

Finally got a little bit of rain here today. My neighbor said to bring the mower over & he'd fix it.

Frame off.

Header back outside.

Top plate off.

She's out.

Does Agco not offer that as a service part? Or is your neighbor an awesome cool dude that happens to also be a bad azz machinist!

You fellas cut that out with a torch? Looks pretty good. I’m assuming you gonna stick a new pin in there n weld it up? Any leads on why she broke?

He used some gouging rod setup to begin with. When I got back from town he had switched to the torch & the pin was on the ground. He thought that when they welded it in it might've got to hot & screwed it up.

Wow! Three balers! You guys have an operation.

Not really, the neighbor has two balers, and I have one, We were running all three that day to get a lot of hay done. ( very late here ) Lot more hay yet to do!!

All I know is it took just my father in law and I 10 hours straight to rake, bale and haul home 71 rolls. If we had that many pieces of equipment going we could have been done by lunch!

I also now have a very heavy respect for the full time farmer. I was on a tractor the whole time and was pretty wore out at the end.

Would love see to those fields here, minus the water. As we just got another 3.5 inch's in less than one hour. ( major flood )

On the bright side it's a lot easier going down the road this way.
