That’s going to take some sorting out .Ok, own up?
There’s also a video floating around Facebook of a combine which apparently had a metal bar going through the back tyre and veering out of control

Nick...
Do you mean the dealer was responsible?
I should add not knowing the details as to wether the header fell off or was knocked off by another vehicle.

No as in its farols demo combine/header on the move I believe.
The question remains the same.

Well I should imagine for it to fall off the head on the front but not the back and get fetched off by that sign either the driver didn’t latch it on properly or check it was latched OR something on the locking mechanism failed, either way being farols / JD’s issue.
To be fair, you will do well to find a green tractor in these parts that dont have a FAROL sticker on.
Unless someone knows for sure it’s a demo unit then it’s most likely a local
It happened yesterday.
The header is now back at base being repaired.
It was a demo unit from FAROL but it wasn’t human error, hit a pothole causing mechanical failure.
Take care folks, that’s two accidents due to roads I’ve seen recently, the other being the combine mentioned above due to a metal bar in rear combine tyre.

Header trolley not built particularly well if a pothole can shake it hard enough to break the lock down latches
You were indeed correct

Having just seen the pothole, at the speed they were going that word have made her jump around a fair bit!

On the bright side there might be a cheap ex demo combine for sale soon with very few acres covered but with no headerYou were indeed correct
