Hired help

[Klause]

Who the he'll runs a sprayer in a flat front tire till a hydro motor siezes???????

How is that possible?????

Same guy who tows his pick up truck for 10 miles behind an air drill while truck is still in park. Burns the tires and rims right off the bitch.

A couple harvests ago the neighbor's hired help drove from the bin yard, back to the field with the trailer brakes dynamited. 8 new tires later...

Yup. Doing custom work too yet. Gotta get dead sprayer out of field.


Kudos to KMK. They were out there within 30 minutes of call. Diagnosed within an hr. Bringing us a demo for tomorrow.

one young feller working for a BTO here a few years ago was texting at the wheel of a brand new JD sprayer . the booms were on the edge of the bush and the sprayer made it in quite a ways . totalled it right off .

Which guy was it?

"Guy that can do it all gets 25 young guy learning how to do some stuff gets 17


Both get meals fuel and other perks"

[Klause]

The 25 an hr guy.


Dunno what to do with him. Told him to take long weekend off.

He knows better. Feels like crap about it. But can you trust a guy that pulls this kind of crap?

Too all those who cant handle their land base: there are small and medium sized operators in your neighborhood who can handle some more land. Rant about hired help over.

[Partners]

Don't feel to bad..At least you don't have 30 hired men to baby sit..
Now that's a gong show to watch...

[sumdumguy]

Sure nice not to need them. It's hard to find a good man. One might be a good mechanic but not farm smart. Then old farmer has to learn the new technology. Everyone needs three sons - all 3 absolutely awesome.

How the hell did the tire stay on the rim if it was driven that long to stress a wheel motor to the point of failure. Those "fixes" aren't cheap, escpecially if the wheel motor is an integrated hydraulic motor and final drive component. Then there is the system(hydrostatic motors and wheel motors and anything else the shared oil drives) contamination if filters bypass.

We had a wheel motor go on us two years ago. QUIT driving it. Had a full tank, transferred it to my neighbors sprayer and he applied it for me. The same neighbor who also had a wheel motor quit.on him.....but he kept driving, just kept pushing the hydro to keep moving. Complete drive system overhaul--4 wheel motors and the hydro pumps....about 70k into a sprayer that wasn't worth that much, un-real, just got it. Worthless even as a wrecking unit, what do you do?

Our new Rogator now.had the final drive and wheel motors seperate, but am thinking a blown wheel motor could be as catastrophic as before. Maybe a mechanical drive machine would be better.

What do you think hobby?
