Thank you for your excellent video and I wish you all the best. I am well smitten with the combineitis 'virus' as well as the airplaneitis 'virus', both cool to have.
I worked for a kansas cistom harvester last year, we just changed the guards and sections right on the header. And next time just buy a not tore up wilson hopper, if you dont wreck it it will last a long long time. There is a reason why they are so high priced, cause theyre worth the price The grain cart operator should keep the incoming grain off the tarp straps and keep the tarp savers on top of the tarp too, if it's a manual tarp.
Them aluminum trailers definitely ain't cheap. We've just always been afraid they wouldn't handle the twists of going in and out of some of the fields.
@@LHFarmsTN wilsons will handle the twists better than anything else. I once witnessed a driver try to turn into a road that was too narrow with a loaded wilson hopper trailer. The ditch was at least 4 feet deep and as he turned to his right, the wheels on the right side were completely off of the end of the culvert, causing the trailer to lean to the right to the extent that the rear hopper hit the pavement. The dolly pad on the right was on the ground and the drive wheels on the left side of the tractor were 6 inches off of the pavement. When the tow truck came, he picked up the rear of the trailer and stacked wood blocks into the ditch, under the wheels, which allowed the tractor to pull the trailer on in to the scales of the feedmill and into the dump pit. The rear hopper door would not open because it was in a bind, but otherwise the trailer was OK! Of course the rear hopper door had to be repaired, but the hopper was ok, just the hopper slide was bent up and probably the steel door was bent too! This was about 1999 and the hopper doors were steel, with the toothed rail underneath, back in those days.
"ECU's, very cheap repair"! I can only imagine. On the cover crop, why did you have it broadcast via plane rather than a pull-behind spreader? How is the cost difference, and does NRCS help with the application piece or just the seed? This is our first year working out a cover crop plan, so any experience you can provide would be appreciated.
Keep the uploads coming! I’m bad about not asking for help, too. If I think I can do it myself, I’d rather not bother anyone.

Give us an update on the black Pete and the new truck you bought.
Pry it between the nuts on the sections and the hold downs
You should do an equipment tour
I'll do that!

Sorry I'm just now getting back with you. I'll do a video on my cover crop spread, and why I do it this way!
Have you ridden with keith in that 2 seater 802??. 1000 reasons for macdon. I hate deere belt headers and the mf that designed them .screw that guy.
