On Mother's Day I had my stihl hand held blower and I was going to start it. I put it on the ground and usually my foot braces it, but apparently I didn't have my foot against it. So the back corner of the blower came up as I pulled it. It put a deep gash in my lower left leg the same as the bottom foot of the blower. Luckily I was by the front of the house and my wife was just inside. As soon as it hit me I started removing my boot and the blood started coming out pretty good. I sat down on our front porch steps and she brought out a clean white towel. We could see down inside and we could see the bone. I told her to call 911 and an ambulance arrived within 12 minutes. They informed us we had to go to Springfield which was 40 some miles away. Luckily it didn't hit any arteries and the doctor in the emergency room started stitching it up after he applied iodine and numbed it up. Inside he put 6 stitches and outside more with a total of 21. Last weekend it was Father's Day and it is mostly healed up but have to change out the dressing every day. The other doctor that I've been seeing said they weren't sure if it didn't heal correctly then I would need a skin graft. After they removed all of the stitches they put super glue on so the skin would grow back. I will never start the 2 blowers I have that way again!
That’s a good yield. I haven’t started yet in Kansas. Busy hilling corn and taking care f row crop. Wheat looks good here . Last year was a disaster! Drought…. You’re lucky that didn’t catch fire!!! Be mY luck….
if you were to put some reflective tape on the backside of the header and a matching piece of tape on the cart you can line them up while inside the cabin.

I haven't heard anything lately about the Lothian elevator.
Are the still operating?
I wrap yellow duct tape on the middle of the head reel tube, and on the middle of the header trailer. Really helps lining up.
No wonder your alarms are going off.

We had a 9560 had the computer board replaced twice

We had a painted line on the cart and on the header to line it up when dropping or piking up the header
Good video.
