Old 100ft extension cord $20, Led spot light $12, 7 pin trailer plug $8, 2" grey Plastic LB $7, pin ball tilt switch $7 (could make your own easy enough), 12v siren and flasher $12. If the spot light is on you know the siren is live. Works perfectly.

Originally posted by biglentilIf you notice the camera that was a huge improvement especially when moving the auger at night when judging distance gets really tough. 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?
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.

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!

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.

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