I’m a bit disappointed as I had suggested he carved you some animal sculptures into your drive hedge, to demonstrate his great competence

Perhaps I should have done some headless sheep?

I don’t know I will try and remember to ask tomorrow. All it does is load sugar beet for six months of the year and the driver could thread a needle with it.

Volvo l50 vs jcb 412

Which one is more highly regarded as a loader? Looking at a 2005 in both models. Volvo is a bit dearer. Main duties are feeding in the winter, cleaning out houses, loading sung etc. Hardest job is on the silage clamp on the summer after an sh40 trailed harvested. Would be putting duals on. Which...

You aren’t 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 f’ing 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 I’d 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, I’m begging to look forward to using her again this coming harvest, which I had wondered if I’d ever look forward to again.

Stick to your simpler TC @Lowland1 !
And don’t try growing Linseed, or get dragged in to harvesting it for somebody else.

i feel your pain one year i grew flax it made linseed seem a doddle

Horrible weather again so it was a good opportunity to get my trailer permanently wired for battery charging at localish trailer services
Pleased they did it ,7 core I can do easily,,13 is a pain .
Then couldn't get any power and found two fuses of the truck battery had blown ,then had trouble with the side lights .
Pleased he had a multimeter, Ide have lost patience.
On the bright side , no more having to get the charger out to wake the battery up again
