  • ** So this video is nearing the end of our day, and it has been along one! 😂 Every night we always blow off using the compressed air on the combines and then start our journey home.
    ** Mike and the crew are getting tired and it's beginning to show out there 😂 🤷‍♂️ - though the animal noises haven't yet quite started.

    We are trying out a centralized air system so you can clean on the go . Something like the Krone baler uses on the knotters . We installed a bigger buffer on the combine ( Lexion ) airlines to the header housing and some high flow nozzles to remove a large part of the build up inside the driveline housing . An air coupling between the combine and the header . An air distributer with 5 high flow nozzles mainly for the removal and preventing build up on the center section . We try to develop it cost effective and interchangeable with other headers. . For the moment it´s installed on a MacDon header and we still have a lot to improve and you shall still have to clean manually but we did see much lesser build up so less of fire hazards . Maybe during the winter we are able to work a bit on this inhouse project

    How is your super good visibility when you are going with the wind in dusty beans ??? It seems that with high kelvin temp led lights ( really bright white ) that it really lights up the dust and you can't see anything where the older lights that are more yellow it doesn't seem as bad . ( that is why fog lights are yellow )

    Mike, what brand LED of lights do you add to tractors and machines ?, also do you have any idea how many lumens. Thanks for another great video. Love watching them.
