I always love the times in the year when 2 combines are running one in front of the other opening up a new field down the middle, makes for good pictures
@@bradenconway9066 yes sir, it’s fun watching them work in the bigger fields, we gotta put some serious thought into upgrading at least one of our machines.
Gotta run the Kenworth long enough to allow thermostat to open with cap open. That’ll let all the air out to properly fill the coolant. My freightliner has a fuel bleed back issue. If it sits for longer then 1 day. It’ll crank lots until it’s starts
Last year our 04 9860sts absolutely destroyed the shoes, cross auger for clean and tailings. Did a number on things. Spent 50k on it, only to get to use it for 60ac. Now this year, gone good for 33ac and the feeder chain come apart. Ok easy is fix. Make it 100yards down the road and the alternator burnt up. Finally today I ran all day did about 76ac of wheat and she’s gone good. New to us Macdon 976or2 30ft makes the 30 to 50 bushel wheat go quick. Only got our home field left and 80ac of canola. The old girl will be going to the mechanic for an overall this winter. Can’t wait for that bill. We’re in western central Alberta. Had the same kinda weathers.
I'd say you got lucky. I've read horror stories about severe destruction in that area on those machines. They sure don't seem to be as durable as the 10 series and older. Could you put up a short of the 1950 running the auger under load? There is a bunch of guys that I know would get a kick out of that.
Not getting any rain over here. Coolant and oil leaks are how we have to keep the dust settled.

Hopefully the rain stays away. Barley is going down today. It seems to be getting greener instead of ripe lol. About 110 of wheat to go.
@@jeremycherny2041 looks like pretty nice weather for a bit yet
