Had a 9' gehl. It didn't give me any trouble.

Buddy of mine has had 3 sets of bearings go on his brand new Moco 630. He had kept his old Gehl 9' since it isnt worth much of anything. Good thing he did. He has done most of his cutting with it. They are talking about replacing the entire turtle assembly in the 630.

you will go hungry using products from my farm but you might get cancer instead.

You do grow a very tasty product though

That's unfortunate. I don't hear of any cutterbar trouble from my friends with green ones. Its the rest of the machine that they have trouble with.

Don't really know the whole story but ..... A *f-wordin tractor can only go so fast and stupid fu cks always have to run right up your ass. That's my opinion anyhow everyone in a big ass hurry to get nowhere. I do keep my machines off the road at night Not sure if this happened at night or day. I'd imagine day as hay doesn't dry too well at night

The big reason we only run a 8 row corn head instead of a 12 is because the morons on the roads. Our head is only about 8" wider on each side of the combine.

The morons are way quicker to show respect to a combine coming down the road with the head on than without.

 

[jakethesnake]

Yeah I tend to hold my ground a little in the bigger rigs. I damn sure don't run anyone off the road But I usually hold in place and let the cars slow way down before I get over. Shame for the poor fella getting run over very doubtful it was even close to his fault... Just a shame

 

[jakethesnake]

Getting my bines together today gonna try to cut some wheat tomorrow got just some random few acres of beans left to plant. Then I'll start getting my wheat beans in

 

[jakethesnake]

Tell ya what else can be bad are motorcycles some of the fellas see an opening and scold by you ... They just don't think bout the fact if a road sign or mailbox is coming you driving a piece of equipment have to get over... I'm talking a bike following you Now I have seen some of those guys hang out back there so I can see em in my mirror and ease off the road The ones that come past like a shot sorta aggravate me.., gotta do your best is all I know. Some people are just dumb

 

[concretegrazer]

Dumb doesn't begin to describe some of the stuff I've seen. Why would someone pass me & before they can get around there turning off the road. Twice in Monday I had cars pass me on the inside when I swung wide to pull in a gate. I know of several guys that have been hit by idiots doing that. And one of them was sued.

Heartbreaking to see and read this.

 

[jakethesnake]

Yeah .... It's amazing I've been ready to fight mad with people that give me the look and I'm in the cab yelling where the *f-word am I supposed to get over..... I hate going down the road. Sad thing I get the same *s-word pulling my boat with a pickup. I try to leave space ahead of me to stop and people have to fill that gap. I am running with traffic and yet it's like fill in the viod

That very thing happened to my uncle he swung out and someone took the front end clean off his 4020. He didn't get hurt badly just a few bruises.

 

[jake wells]

when im coming down the road in the 2675 massey with worn out steering all but some stupid kids in hopped up diesels stay clear its hard enough keeping it on the road without them fools.

 

[Mastermind]

Damn fellers, we need rain.

Damn fellers, we need rain.

It's looking like I'm going to have to start a new fire after this storm passes

 

[jakethesnake]
