smithy Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Finished cutting the beans today only had 10 acres as they was part of my greening rules , had 2 2acre fields of Tundra which was tall but had lodged over in places and pods all the way up both fields yielded 3-7tons each which I was happy with as it nearly 2tons to the acre the other 6acre field was Wizard and not as tall and only pods lower down looked like the top ones had been burnt off so not so good total of that field was 8-5tons , most of the tundra will be used as seed for the coming year . have blown the dust of the combine and put it away for the year rain forecast for tomorrow so just in time will get it out again on a day when I cant get on with anything else and wash the outside panels but not under as don't wont bearings to get wet will also change the oil so its got clean in over winter will also grease every bearing and just run it a bit in yard to get new grease and oil round it all 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Just a update I have since sold my 377 and 945 balers and bought the 575 that Mr Goodwin lent me on demo (GOODIESTRACTOR) , MB 86 asked how it was different from the older ones so here is a few pictures for you , knotters are the same but stronger rear of bale chamber is a bit longer,3 feeder tines rotate instead of the telescopic action with 3 chains driving them instead of one long one gears on the side to drive the knotters instead of a weak chain and a shaft driven by a strong/short chain from flywheel to drive the knotters/feeder tines flywheel is still into a gearbox which drives the plunger 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
