It's not to bad we've tackled worse jobs!
My missus reckons I look after machinery better than I look after her.1188 h4

Mines a 1550 cws
Have a look at the coupling plate, check for any slop on the rivets.
Ours went just after pulling out onto a busy road
Ended up calling the police to stop the road so we could drag it backwards back into the field

Waiting for the straw to get fit, another go at a few thistles.

It was actually quite efficient.

Nice, but presumably fecking expensive? And you must have plenty of topsoil? If you scraped too much of mine off you would be left with some right cack.

Nice easy day today for a change, had a look at my mates Sanderson this morning. The boom wouldn’t go in or out, found the valve had unscrewed it’s self.

How does the storeman/store keep up with your fecking great combine?

How does the storeman/store keep up with your fecking great combine?

Usually tip it down in the temporary store so no rush to put it through the system, we usually leave the last 4 trailers full if we’re not cutting again to save loading them back up. Then use a trailer on the auger as a hopper and load over the side with tele-handler. Got it down to a fine art now.

Baling done for the year!

Pushed all the soil off it first, ranged from 5 inch to 2 feet deep. Cleared about 4 acres then started into clay below, has taken about 6 feet off a hill and spread it into offending hollow. Luckily all clay, no rock or gravel, hope to have the clay finished tonight, dozerman only works from 6.30am to 9.00pm. and he lives an hour away.

Looks a very nice and tidy job
Credit to the dozer man.

I just wish I could justify doing that over my hills.

In the big picture can't really justify it either but with the rain last year and this spring it left part of a perfectly good field unusable due to the fact that the next door neighbour to this won't clean out sheughs and the water from my field drains can't get away so I just raised the field a metre. Problem solved..

 

[roscoe erf]

homeward bound

 

[Woodlander]

This morning was mainly spent cleaning store, combine etc ready to cut a seed crop of Mascani winter oats. This afternoon was spent mainly cutting said crop of Mascani winter oats.

We've replaced everything in the bell housing.

It's kind off a good thing the seal went because when we got in there the splines on the plate and shaft were completely wore up, if they'd gone we'd have been like you were.

Harvest student says 12% moisture, 57kg/hl, 27.5degrees Celsius. Yield around 7t/ha, around 1t/ha down on where we'd like to be.
