[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7259314, member: 2119"] The combine spout/mirrors/beacon/grain tank lid/chimney/ gets caught in the branches and can do serious expensive damage. Branches fall off into the crop and end up jammed under the auger or clattering about in the drum. Trees belong in woods. A royal pain in fields. Even our field edge trees keep us busy enough trimming low hanging branches etc. And other than the firewood it feels like a few days of wasted diesel and effort, risking your life in a man basket with the chainsaw. But if you can make it work go for it. [/QUOTE]
