Some people really shouldn't be allowed near machines if the blade direction is that complicated 🤣🤣🤣
The amount of mowers, haybobs, tedders and rakes that I’ve seen with mixed up tines and blades after complaints that they’re sh**e kind of proves otherwise unfortunately!!! Now, lets not start on haybobs and tine position, the wheels adjusted or the actual importance of levelling arms off and having a top link that’s not seized or welded up on a rake or tedder that was rotavating….
 
Best one I’ve seen was on a powerharrow, they’d put one left and one right hand tine on each rota instead going two left then two right 🤦🏻‍♂️😂. How they weren’t hitting each other I’ll never know 🤷🏻‍♂️

There was a thread in the old place where someone had a harvest student sent out powerharrowing who came back and the trough was too hot to touch. Turns out he'd been dragging it around without the PTO engaged.

I’d run out of daylight, would have to be over 2 days, maybe even 3 ? ( for the UK contingent, we can only run tractors on public roads in daylight hours )

coming straight down the Newel & then the Kamiaroi Highways, would need 2 escort vehicles as well
