    Someone posting on the internet to a public site multiple times daily worrying about China chipping and tracking him. Likely carries a cell phone everywhere with him too. You can't make this sh!t up. And no one on this site is important enough for China or Ottawa to care about you as an individual or your individual actions.

      Basically if you buy something you should buy 2 , so you have everything you need...thats good managing , right?

      Full sarcasm.

      I think I know where you are going with that comment...lmao.
      I tend to buy 2 at a time also at least its' saves half the trips to town and my butt has been saved on those saturday afternoon breakdowns a few times.

If the spot light is on you know the siren is live. Works perfectly.

          I use that red tape to patch my work jacket. It holds up going through the washing machine a dozen times.

              That red tuck tape is great stuff.
              Sorry red green . Duct tape is history.
              Just do not plan on taking it off a painted surface.

No more setting the auger down on the lid or the arms of the lid, then catching the spout on the way out. . $120 for a screen and wired camera on Amazon. I had a spare 65ft cord. Haven't tried the wireless versions of the cameras, any experience? Thought range might be an issue.

                  I should have mentioned the spot light is mounted half way up the auger on the underside and shines towards and below the spout. Why 100ft long augers don't come from the factory with lights is beyond me or maybe some do?
                  So far, cordless haven't worked.
                  Cameras don't need light.
                  Only light that's awesome is the remote controlled one on swing. Perfectly illuminates everything but leaves your mirrors dark.

                    I have the wifi camera mounted with magnets on my swing auger for the Super-B. Transmits to my phone and makes me look competent pulling alongside and changing hoppers.

                      Does anyone know if any place makes or sells swing auger hopper covers.

                          I went to buy a fuel cap from Pattison Ag. The total was $330 CDN. I said fat chance Jimmy and walked out.

                          I spent a little time online looking at comparable US dealer prices. $84USD
                          free shipping in the USA. Unfortunately they were unable to ship out of country due to agreements with John Deere Corp.

                          I understand this from a contractual agreement between a company and dealer network but it just seems like this falls under anticompetitive practice and really we farmers should be filing complaints to the Canadian competition authorities.

                          This needs to change!

                            Most times I have found they don't want to ship out of country, because they don't want the hassle of dealing with customs.

                            I often get parts sent to Havre and make a trip to pick them up and drive them across. Of course it needs to be enough $ to make it worthwhile.

                            John Deere header parts, some combine parts, some tractor parts. When we switched over to three in. I saved $10,000 by getting a couple pallets shipped to Havre.

                              An 8mm X 25mm socket head(cap screw) bolt something like this... $45.90 from Agco. Under $4 at Regina Fasteners.

                              How can they even begin to justify that? It defies all logic and sense. Shameless...

                                Except the fasteners store buys them by the case.
                                Doesn't pay a partsman to look it up, and select it for you.
                                Doesn't pay someone to itemize every single instance of where that bolt is used across thousands of pieces of equipment, with serial number breaks and updates.
                                Hasn't been stocking it for potentially years at various levels of warehouses and distributing it in small quantities all over the world.
                                Isn't required by law to keep every bolt and screw etc. available for so many years regardless of demand.
