I always found Krone HQ in Memphis were always very helpful too when I worked over there. Parts always overnighted . They could even get parts the same day if they could catch the right plane. (y)
You mustn't be too far North if you're mowing already?
Spring is early this year and also we've had a very mild winter, we are 38° north of the equator

Huge dilemma this morning.

Load of fertiliser turned up, three rows of 600kg bags.

First 2 rows, all the labels faced me, no problem, the furthest row were ALL THE WRONG WAY ROUND.

Thanks to TFF, particularly @Robert K and @bovrill my usually well hidden OCD tendencies went into overdrive.

No chance of unloading the truck from the other side..... Discussed the problem with the driver who had never had this issue before (like me, I have never cared before)

He solved it in one by twisting all the necks on the offending bags.

So when I picked them all up they magically turned round.

Phew. Brilliant, thanks to the Churchill driver 'John'

and relax.

NB the seed bags on the left were stacked before I realised that this was a thing.
