Total of 3 hours combining in almost 3 weeks. Been raining that much, got out yesterday for 3 hours for a localized storm to dump 3/4" and have 100km winds, lucky the wind came from the west and that bin had protection from the shed this time.

Just drove to High River and back this morning. It’s amazing how green things are. All the fields that got hail are green. Some guys peas that were hailed 100% have a nice new crop coming. They will be flowering soon. Think I’d be spraying them to save moisture and make sure the drill will go through them in the spring.

Heard a bad sound from the combine last night…

You might also need some new pickup teeth as well! Lol.

That’s nasty. Hope it didn’t damage the pre drilled holes where the plate attaches. Would suck to have to buy a new table auger

The holes that attach are part of the new plate. The worst part is I think here was a broken finger inside there that fell out and also went through the machine. Looking at my other cover plates they are pretty thin. Should probably replace them soon.

I know they are bad. I'll do it in the winter if the snow sucks.

I heard about 20 rocks go in combine today and there were only 3 in rock trap. Think my roller guy might need autosteer next year

 

[snopro]

Rolling without auto steer would be brutal. Sometimes it’s pretty hard to see the line in stubble and the sun a certain way

We picked up a couple rocks too this year. Couple in the rock trap, couple caught on the header. Rocks just about grew better than the crop this year. Wrapped up our crop yesterday some did alright but most was rather disappointing. Happy to be done though.

That’s a bad start to the day.

I’m hunting for one right now but it seems like no one has one.

Inspection door wasn’t latched. Turned the fan on and went to sleep.

I have gps in tractor but the autosteer doesn't work with the loose steering in that tractor. I might need to get system with auto turn too so I don't have to replace so many fence posts

Heading back to the yard
That’s a wrap for 2024
