View attachment 555818 View attachment 555820had the afternoon off so servicing fourtrak, new anti roll bar bushes on back (I only got them 6 months ago)
Only snag is I can't get the oil filter off, and I can't find my filter strap
That broken shaft brings back terrible memories
What's the bale count on your machine?
Crikey, that's not many for that to let go, have a feeling ours lasted similar to your other one, around 50k bales.Only 26500 !!!!! [emoji22] at least dealer didn't come out with the old chestnut ... " never had one of those go before ?? "
My Fusion 2 lasted till 45000 bales before that one went !!
Beer won't stay cold sitting there!View attachment 555922 Only 60 ha left for the season, hoping to finish tonight and . . . bugger !

I really wish some so called plumbers would think before they got the hammer out, took a bit of effort, but got the tile out without damaging the Ines around it. [emoji106]
One of those, while your here, can you sort this for me, a mate was looking for a leak and did this, won't come back to fix it

A bit of lateral thinking and 1 happy customer [emoji41]

Our oldest F1 had 110k on the clock by the time the top skin cut through- new skins and it is still used as a spare and about 180k on the computer I think! Can't speak highly enough of them, once you know your way around certain things, almost unstoppable.
Chains was our biggest failing point- ended up running Chinese chain that lasted twice as long and cost half as much.They would take some beating ... it's a shame really this is the only breakdown I've had and it's happened to both Fusions I've had
Made worse this time by breaking the chain [emoji22]last time the sprockets just fell on the floor and stopped it [emoji849]only replaced the chains at the star of the season as well [emoji15]
Have had a bit of an issue with the nylon roller cleaners in the chamber wearing through this time ... replaced several of them [emoji389][emoji389]
What was it like before you got there then if you took the tile out?
at least you know how to stack balesBeen a while since I've caught up on this thread, sorry for any missed likes and all the alerts...

Ah yes, a lad can certainly stack a bale 1 on 3...at least you know how to stack bales
What do you do with the muck you scrape out?
What about bedding?

We did a few pickup bars as well, and the little rollers in the pickup cam- but serious serious bale counts by the time they let go.
My boss always wanted the guage in the red, so he could charge along to the end of the bale and still get a net on it
A bit of a dick that fella if it wasn't for that, they would have been almost troublefree all season after the usual bearing replacements etc.. oh and the sabotaged film from Melbourne, that was really neat, some coozer in the factory had been nicking the ends of the rolls with a blade got lots of exercise that year
Yes, I don't think we paid for most of the wrap- I think the story was a disgruntled employee on the rampageThere are some cockwombles about !! [emoji35]hope some sort of compensation came your way ... apart from getting fit [emoji12]
What dealership is that? That 5125r looks smart!Morning parts trip to the dealer, it always amazes me the amount of machinery they carry on stock! Few pics from round the yard. View attachment 556008

So the floor is concrete?Ah yes, a lad can certainly stack a bale 1 on 3...
Will roll out straw once it gets nice and mucky in there, have hopefully got some more nice pea hay to go in there to fatten some pigs in the spring. It doesn't really get wet or mucky til you put the straw in so not in any real hurry- a month from turnout is pretty good.
Scrapings just get drizzled over the compost heap out the back- now it's nice and damp, it should help keep the rain out a little. Only about every 10 to 14 days I have to scrape.
I have a deal with an arable farmer down the road, 16 big bales of pea straw/hay for a big load of bacon and pork once the pigs are done- the only one unhappy is Mr Inland Revenue.
They break it all up and go bobbing for peas- fermented peas- have you seen drunk pigs before? it really dries it out well though, and I get bacon instead of ammonia
