Started the day with some great intentions.

Took all the empty trailers to the next field and went to the combine to do the three runs I failed to do last night, (due to some drama which I now forget) Anyway just coming to the end and the header wouldn't lift... discovered the main hydraulic pipe had burst and sprayed all the oil out, nicely lubricating all the belts and pulleys, Sadly its missed the chains and sprockets
Amazingly I had a spanner that fitted, but I was unable to undo it because the access panal is in the tank, which is now 3/4 full, so had to go back and fetch a trailer. I eventually got the pipe off so sent OH off for new pipe, meanwhile I did some baling. Eventually after much cursing I got combining, 3 hours after I had planned.
OH carried on baling and then dad called to say the bearings gone on the auger..

I love harvest
