Pingu Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 Well we finally got going yesterday and had nothing but troubles :'( :'( We have broken down 3 times in 3 days so far problems are a bearing on the header drive shaft, electric motors on sieves giving up and now the sprocket at end drive shaft on header has sheared so only got 70 acres done in 2 days. But i managed to get few pics of the second time round headland of the first and still current field And my rig for summer Fendt vario 818 and 14 ton western Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But here are some pics probs bit more interesting then me rabbiting on :D Chasing the combine on some of our Winter barley (only had 70 acres this year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 Well we managed to 5 mins after this pic take a stone on up through the header snapping one whole side of ladders but luckily it didnt make it to the drum which took us around 5hours to fix had to take the whole lot out as had snapped the chain in a few places as well :'( Then we managed to carry on with our OSR harvest i had this for the day while other bloke was away for day, and it was ok i will admit that nice comfy ride but it is guttless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deere-est Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 How did the combine driver find the oats to pick up? They look horrid to cut, they can be a real nightmare when they are like that. What model Deere is it? Can't see it on our crappy pc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
