[QUOTE="mobileweld, post: 8132842, member: 159390"] I do a lot of work with irrigation reels and they often have birds nests in them. Lots of queen wasps too for some reason! the one that sticks in my mind though I got called to a farm where the reel wouldn’t wind in no speed and the farmer was adamant that there was a problem with the gearbox. Experience has taught me though start at the beginning every time no matter what. And it turned out all the problem was a bird nest in the machine right up in the cone filter stone trap. Enough to stop the turbine getting enough power but enough flow going past to look like the gun was throwing plenty out. [/QUOTE]
