The more I started looking and fixing this head more I decided called it quits... It’s Got problems everywhere and I’m tired of fixing it.

Is it dry enough to start shelling up there yet, we are soaked here.

Is it dry enough to start shelling up there yet, we are soaked here.

We’ve been really wet also, but We’re waiting for the corn and beans to dry down. We normally take beans off first and then the corn. We sell everything out of the field so the dryer the better.

What I been hearing. Guess we all have our battles but doesn't seem to affect the markets in a favorable way!

Anyone else getting ready for harvest?

I’ve got to figure out why my corn header quite driving 3 rows in the last 1/2 acre last year.

I’m hoping that the chain just fell off if not it’s in the gearbox’s because I’ve already done some late night... weld it solid repairing.....

I always enjoyed filling silos and miss chopping & hauling wagons.

If any of you fellas are filling silos bags or bunkers post up some pictures.

Finally got everything fixed and running yesterday. Running behind. Last week's heat took the green out of it in a hurry.







The ticker rolled over today.

Do you have a floor in your bunker?

Yes in that one. Don't use the other often.

I agree, mama not like the noise for the last 36 years. Had as many as 46 calves right beside the house many times. ( our 36 year anniversary Tuesday )

Happy anniversary to you and Marsha.

Pull all the useable stuff off of the old header.

 

[czar800]

We found another head that seems to have less hours on it.

 

[czar800]

Finished up the new to us corn head and then went over the grain head before heading out to the field.

 

[czar800]

Decided to test run some soybeans and they ended up being dry so I decided to run.

Next shop is going to need an even bigger door... that one is 24’ now....

 

[Cat 525]

Wouldn't happen here! 6 inches since last evening and still raining! Keep at it if you can!

Rain is coming in on Thursday... going to hopefully run tomorrow after work.
