Here's a tip for you, You can adjust how far down the leg you swing around under the cutterbar hangs down. It makes it much easier to latch that bracket in. You only need 1/8 inch of clearance between the brace that flips up and the cutterbar. I see you had trouble latching it in at about 4:00.

Good to know. Always forget to take a look at it, but have gotten the hang of it.

I can now see why these never took off. Seems like kind of a pain in the ass compared to just setting it on a trailer

[@farming4g]

This transport is amazing! Wouldn't go without it and no need to pay for a separate trailer. Several years later I can do this in less than 5 minutes, but I still take my time to make sure everything is properly locked. For long hauls, I would suggest a separate trailer since this is only rated for lower speeds.

3:17 “Hate being underneath the header, its really dangerous” I guess my question is, is it not possible to engage the cylinder stop on the feeder house to switch to transport mode, or does have it to be lower than the stop will allow?

[@farming4g]

To put the cylinder stop in on the combine it has to be almost at full height... makes it extremely difficult (not to mention hard on the spine) to move everything into transport position on the header. The easiest is around 50% height. Just have to be mindful where we're at.
Even with that transport tire not fully locked in, I think it would prevent it from going down all the way if a hyd line were to burst.

28k views and 3 comments with 100 likes. WTF is this videos analytics like? I would like to pick your brain on a few thoughts about videos that do well and ones that dont. This is an old video, but it probably still gets views. Must be a searched one for people setting up their draper.

[@farming4g]

That's what I guess, or people looking at how the transport works. I have no idea how the stupid algorithm works for youtube, but I think myself and a lot of other good smaller farm channels got screwed over or shadowbanned.
I would happily take only 100 views and have more comments and engagement instead of 10k views with diddly squat for comments. Having that interaction feels like it makes it more worth while and maybe learning something in the process.
