Help, locked out of combine

[Laggard]

I’ve broken the barrel out of my New Holland TF78 and can’t unlock the door. I’ve tried sticking a screwdriver in the hole and turning it but can’t. Can I drill it? Any advice welcome.

What are the hinges like ? Can you get the pins knocked out?

That’s what I did when it happened on our TF42, however the 78 has the newer cab so may be different.

Would it be possible to remove the tank window and open the door from the inside?

Brick!

Pick the smallest window to replace and smash it,well pick one you can fit through.

I'm guessing you could buy the local locksmithing business, and it would be cheaper than buying another window from NH

Do you fancy the idea of ending up fitting a sun hatch in the roof?

Agreed. Might not be cheap, but still a quicker and easier fix to get you back combining again quickly.

Are they bonded windows ? I googled said Combine but can not tell by the pics .If there not bonded you may be able whittle the window rubbers out .

You havn’t used a locksmith lately

Normally there is a little slider in the door button that will slide one way or the other to unlock the door had new holland door barrels fall out before and just reach in with a fine screwdriver and move the slider to one side and ur in

Haha , no I haven't. Have bought NH goods though

Drill through the lock barrel - that’s what a locksmith will probably do

 

[Lincs Lass]

Ask the local kids to open it, I bet they can pick locks

 

[Dry Rot]

Work through the 'fixes' on Youtube! Lots on there.

Where is Raffles when you need him.

 

[traineefarmer]

Hammer a big flat screwdriver into the lock as far as possible then turn it with a large wrench. Most tractor locks are shallow and made from a weak allow and will easily shear through.

Failing that, have you spoken to your dealer to see if the combines have common keys?

Has it glass cover?. If so I'd be putting a rock through the door and telling the ins people the wind got it or a disgruntled pigeon few through the glass.
