Yes but it was her first time, she was just making sure she got in the right place. The rest of us with experience can blast between the swaths till we're alongside, then change gear and pull across under the spout with hardly a thought.That I accept but she was driving down the swath long before that
Just being pernickity
Or a REALLY good combine driver could swing the spout back a bit to avoid you having to run down the swath at allYes but it was her first time, she was just making sure she got in the right place.

I'd like to nominate myself for a Darwin award for the stupid mistake I made this morning.
I was doing a little bit of welding. I was nearly done and there was a big bang followed by bits of plastic and liquid falling to the floor and against my leg..
I had failed to notice that one of the team had popped a 12v battery under the work bench and had brought the charger over to charge it up.
Battery exploded..acid splashed about..luckily I was properly protected but my land cruiser in ws for some work may become speckled. . Ears still ache..
What a muppet..! Lesson learned..View attachment 577574
True but not all combines have that capability.Or a REALLY good combine driver could swing the spout back a bit to avoid you having to run down the swath at all

They are nice to be honest but will be better than new when we have finished.The Fendts look nice in working clothes , looking forward to finished pics. What do you do with rusted up bolts etc on your refurbs?

Without provocation?A battery did the same here yesterday whilst I was standing next to it .
Without provocation?
Finally got round to the 6520 with the broken diff pins that came in a couple of weeks back, customers famous last words "there's no panic for it" so it kind of got put on the back burner[emoji849]. Made good progress today though[emoji51].
Just got some brake discs to pick up in the morning and should hopefully be running by dinner ]
Was still in spec as I didn't need to replace any of the housings or bearings, lucky it only broke the pins and damaged the pinion lube pipe.Did you have to shim the diff back up at all or was it within spec with the existing ones?
Battery's release hydrogen gas, its a little bit flammable. Think Hindenburg disasterNo just sitting there , while I was grinding something.... oops

I've known them take teeth of the pinion shaft and destroy the diff housing before. Cheep fix on this one.
Come to Scotland 1000's of acres to cut yet & even more straw to baleEven round here combining hasn't finished, there's a field of spring oats still to be done. I know the chap hasn't got a combine so either his contractor has forgotten or he's waiting for devine inspiration. It still looks a bit green in the bottom or that might be something growing underneath but even whole cropping it would be a pain
