Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[SASKFARMER3]

Yes big shiny bins are the way to go but bags have a place. Easy to fill, remove and now recycle. But the next phase of the yard has 10 or 20 18000 bus hopper bins with the dryer moved over and grain pump. But when the weather kicks you in the teeth for 15 years one year back you don't get that excited to start spending. Wide open fields are fun again and rain total this fall is now 1 out of the 4 needed to replenish the ground. Manitoba got a nice shot again last night.

WTF....a Lexion in the background? Is that the neighbor's? If it's a demo....don't they know you wouldn't take one if they gave it to you for free? Don't waste their time!!! ;-)

I wanted to see how long it took some one to find it in the back ground.

demo because why price something if can't see how it works. Deere has a camera for tailings Class has a window in cab to the tailings simple.

SF3 will be buying lexions next guaranteed......

What you save in canola and fuel over your S series will be enough to sway anyone.

How about a review of the claas SF3? We are looking to do the same switch but only had one for limited time and would like to hear from someone drinking the same coolaid.

Should be running i figure Monday. to Tuesday after fridays rain event. Then maybe a case will show up this fall. Fendt any one.

How much time do you think you need to get a true feeling for iron you never operated before. All the setting and tweaking could take as much time as they allow you for the demo. Is the Rep going to show up and give you a crash course/tutorial?

We don't do demos.... Sandbox farmers in the Slum of the Ghetto aren't prospective customers! LOL

I don't think there is much setting and tweaking to be done with with a Lexion .
A few weeks ago is extremely dry canola , yes , but now , hit the canola setting and go .

I let other people demo them for a few years first.
Let us know how it goes.

Demos? None in the immediate neighbourhood since the 80's if memory serves me right

Guess that says it all

Last fall and so far this fall the Lexions have been demoing all over here . New dealer set up though and those demos have paid off a lot for them .
The last time JD had a demo here all they could do was brag about how it's a Deer , it's the best and yes it's expensive .
Well after bragging how they could go 5 mph in canola things went down hill.
The weigh wagon and screens came out.
They were down to 3.2 mph fairly fast . The same as our "shitty S77 " at the time.
They went home kinda red faced .
Nice combine , some nice features but they came out with the wrong attitude.
