Variable speed feederhouse drive separated itself into variable pieces 🙄

That would have been real bad 😳 literally hanging on by a thread

Needed the second buggy for mile long rounds

Demoted to truck driver today, another solid corn harvest day in the books

Working away at corn today, you can really see where the wind storm blew thru and leaned some over

First grain corn coming off, about 5 days later and 5 points drier than last year’s start

Combine is all back together and working 👌 combine guy wants the mechanic to make the first few rounds so “if anything goes clatter-bang it’s your problem not mine” 😂

Never gonna complain about this kind of weather in October! Just about wrapped up on the spray season

Well she’s all torn down & parts ordered. Ready to go back together when they show up

We didn’t even work on Sunday and I’m fixing on Monday…this is bullshit

This rotadisc head has been extremely trouble free and worn very well but when it comes time to put some parts on, man are they tedious to work on

Changed 3 U joints on the combine. $200 each from Deere, about $70 from NAPA, and the Napa ones are greaseable…I will never understand why they aren’t greaseable from factory

Wasn’t real happy with the seed trench closure putting wheat into silage ground, are spiked closing wheels on the NT Deere drills worth the money? My co-pilot seems to be enjoying herself doing this job at least

Helping add some trucking capacity for another crew, probably been 10 years since I’ve driven silage truck instead of chopper

Topped off the 2nd bunk at home yesterday

Well i think that’s about as greedy as Gretchen gets 💪 🌽 chopping some beauty P0720Q at home today

Foggy start today

Hey @wilkjef how’s that for a first shift for Willy Styles 😎

Back and forth we go 🐮 🌽 🐄

Nightly ritual complete, I’ll always take a dust year over a mud year
