Harvest Progress or Regress

Saw some of those silk threads floating around and on the ground today.

Oh oh

Seen sun dogs yesterday...

Sun is out and wind up. There is hope.

Must be good yields. Guys around here tried before the big snow, and were getting 25-35 bpa on beans due to drought this summer, so not much better than crop insurance levels, Most are waiting for November hard freeze or leave till spring. Dont want to rut and destroy the fields, bin there done that.

Anything over 2000 here you better be organized and have the dryer going early

Had to "limp" the Iron Maiden over the finish line. The checkered flag was waved.

A "boost pressure" code twice.....would get de-rated....suggested fix....battery disconnect switch off then on after a couple minutes.
Only had to do it twice. Must dig deeper into that issue.

One of the exhaust pipe flanges broke where it connects to the muffler....everything was still in line and fine but spewing a bit of soot out. The escaping exhaust was directed towards a heat shield. So no "major" problems there.

Intermediate starter solenoid failed. Attached to the starter...."Not sold separately"....whole new starter required. Have to cross it over at the starter to start the combine.

Better get that boost pressure code figured out before offering to help anyone else.

Or just wave the white flag for the season. Exhaust pipe coming from the States.

I wonder if anyone still has an old home-brew recipe? Maybe potatoe champagne? Anything to ease the pain p-lease.
