i feel your pain one year i grew flax it made linseed seem a doddleYou arenāt the only one fiddling with his combine today.
Very wet day here, so I got on with something I have been putting off for ages.
Many will remember the catastrophic time I and @CPF had combining our Winter Linseed last year which seriously almost sent into a nervous breakdown!
Honestly, the only thing that kept me sane was realising that I will never grow or harvest the fāing stuff again.
I finished harvesting the wretched stuff on Sunday September 3rd. I normally like to put the combine away having at least blown it down. The crop fought me and my Combine right to the end and Iād had enough.
Even taking the header off the last time, I had to spend half an hour under the front axle cutting wrapped Linseed straw away from the traction shafts between the gearbox and the final reduction drives.
There were many alterations we had made, especially to the header to make it feed the retted Linseed in. I spent a day just before Christmas setting it back to normal. I felt so much better having got it back to normal.
However, there was another unwrapping job that needed doing and I did it today: The Straw walkers front crank.

I knew it was going to be a bar-steward and I tried shutting the top sieves right up, laying some plywood on top and attacking it with a penknife. Hopeless!
So I attached a sharp knife to an aluminium pole and worked away from the back of the sieves, which had some effect. Then I made and put a hook on another pole and hooked a lot of it off.

I found it best to twist the pole to try to create a straw rope as I pulled it backwards.

Finally I was able to crawl back in and get the last bits off by hand.

I had to rotate the walkers a bit occasionally so as get a better grip. It was very stiff to try to move the belts by hand so I had to start the engine and put the drum in gear to loosen everything up. Unfortunately it threw the Straw flow beater belt off. I knew I wanted to take the cover off the Rotary Separator under the back of the grain tank to check it.
So I did this, pulled some crap out reattached the straw flow beater drive belt.
Steve, my harvest helper, @CPF and I have intimate knowledge of doing this procedure several time last harvest.
Hopefully never again!
Now this is done, Iām begging to look forward to using her again this coming harvest, which I had wondered if Iād ever look forward to again.
Stick to your simpler TC @Lowland1 !
And donāt try growing Linseed, or get dragged in to harvesting it for somebody else.
knuckles going white gripping this bit of wood, ours have been very reliable so far. We have been red ,a bit of green and now blue, best so far. Only going my limited experience.Any pointers on new Holland Iām set to get a new one next month not sure of model yet need a few pointers of problems etc ? Will be mainly used on veg planter n hoe
