I just can't seam to make one complete round without something happening. This Cressonie chopping corn head I got for this year does a really nice job but there is a bit of a design flaw in the snapping roll bearing caps so it keeps breaking bolts. There are 24 of these bolts and if I check it every 4 hours I can usually find 2 broken. Takes about 20 min to change each broken bolt. Then the spreader belt ran off the Case combine. That usually means a bearing went out of a pulley but in my case the belt is worn enough so the belt guide allowed it to run off. Then the wagon got full(which is a good problem) Then the truck on the other end got full. Then I had to stop for a sandwich. Then the LP tank is getting low so call the gas man. Then it looks like the bin will be full in about 3 hours so move the auger. I tell you I am not moving across this 50 acre field very fast. About 3/4 of my neighbors are done but at my rate I will be the last one done this fall here in southern Mn.
