Yesterday's finish was with a litle blue smoke in the air.
Been having issues with the corn head. Doesn't feed well on two rows.
Well last Monday being the day after another big wet event. I took it off the combine and stood it up on it's end and found some little things and replaced the slightly used up parts on those two rows. Seemed ok so yesterday afternoon in the MUD took it out and tried it. . . . . NO improvement what so ever. In the 100bu corn OK in the 150 bu corn 2.5mph. In the good corn the first # was a 1 and no second #. What a frustration.
I just put up with it and as I was ready to quit about 10:30 last night, 75 ft of row to finish up the land. Thump bump ??????? yep you guessed it one of the center snoots caught on something and folded under the head.
Well I looked for a new to me head today. Most are either way over priced or are as worn as mine and need the same fixes (except for that center snoot and whole assy. thing).
After that frustrating look about. I just drove on up the road some more and got a nice snoot assy from the junk yd. Hinges everything $250
Most of the crop is gathered... but not all. Having a hard time believing all the beans scattered around to be harvested in the 100+ mile each way drive this afternoon.
Quite a bit of corn but the bean thing really sticks out.
Any way tomorrows project is stand that misserable head on it's tail and fix one row unit and replace the other with a good used one I have on a 4 wide head. Might have so much fun that I'll replace both of them.
Just one of the joys of this hobby.
