It says, "Never hundred" i guessed predictive changed seven to never.

Thank you, never noticed it I have changed it now.

Another hundred's surely bad enough.

Finally

Two episodes of having to empty the tank onto a heap in the yard, and a new engine , but we got there in the end

And did you make it to the end of the "tff finishing strip"?

Why a new engine? Must have been a fairly catastrophic failure!

Why a new engine? Must have been a fairly catastrophic failure!

It was, coolant finished up in the sump.
We’ll never know for sure but the thinking is, that oil seals went in the turbo, the impeller started to break up, and ultimately a liner/liners were damaged .
First I knew of it was an adblue temp sensor warning and engine derate
Strip down started on the Wednesday lunchtime, remanufactured engine sourced in France, arrived 9pm on the Thurs night, engine in and running by 7pm Friday.

Looked at dad's oats. He thinks Thursday. I think a week on Thursday.

What sort of age, warranty job? Can’t have been a cheap fix but no good without an engine!

 

[GlennW]

19 plate, 1130 hrs, out of warranty, negotiations ongoing

Sounds like ours

I maintain its three weeks from roundup. The green leaf is gone after two, but the grain needs longer.

I think its the opposite, often the grain is 16% but the straw is green.

 

[Flatlander]

Finally got started here. Wheat was dry but the straw would have made silage. Swathed it early in the week and it’s going good the last couple of days.

 

[Flatlander]

Looked dry from a distance but green in the bottom

That’s exactly how ours was yesterday

 

[FarmerBruce]

Every field of wheat of ours was like that this year

 

[David.]

How much do you gain by swathing it?

 

[Flatlander]

How much do you gain by swathing it?

The only gain is getting it dried down. The wheat swathed on Monday was at 13.8 Friday. Straw shattered to nothing. Today it was down to 12.6. Any late tillers that were green had dried up and Wheat that was in the dough stage was hard Roundup would take ten days to get to that. Did spray 300 this morning before we started combining as rain for next week so rather keep it standing. Also the wife will drive combine if picking up rows which comes in handy.
