Combining peas like workin for a union - work 3 days a week , short work days , piss and moan about work conditions lol

[furrowtickler]

One other yield test ......

For those who say spray drift don't do much - lol

[furrowtickler]

I know , I know tweety , it was not replicated 15 times so it's worth less
But it's priceless to me lol

Thanks Furrow! Peas that were F$%Ked since may long big storm yielded average at best to below. Sprayed with Priaxor and relief. Did come back a bit but flooded area gone.

I love the picture with the combine. FM that was my thoughts last night.

Missed hail storm two nights ago.

Farma, get your fire truck out in the field with you. If its anything like lentil dust, it's so flammable. When we experience that black dust in lentils, we wash off our combines several times a day, but then the combines are not lemon yellow. Have fun today. We may try combining a field of Lay Down Lentils.

Holy crap furrow.....where do you find the time for all that ****ing around with all those acres to seed, spray and grind out? And those yeilds. ....without a "bunch" of rain?

Malle....if you can somehow get the pic off this website using a screen shot you're welcome to use it. Or if you want I can send it to you by email or something.....I don't have a facebook account.

Sumdumguy.....good idea better refill the sprayer nurse tanks. Why do Cases tend to start on fire so easy? The engine area of the Agco combine is like a hurricane wind tunnel. I guess bad bearings could get the whole thing going too.

Farma am I correct that the challenger 680 b is the same as a Massey 9895? Just wondered how you liked the combine? My son drove a 9895 last fall at the neighbours. Neighbour ended up buying it.

[farmaholic]

Yes Hamloc....same as a MF 9895. They said they rebranded the Massey for those who refuse to have a Massey in the yard. For guys like Wiseguy. Hogs on fuel. Like all combines they have their limitations. Simple machine for a "simple" guy. Hydro drive rotor.....a guy once told me driving something hydraulically is the most.in-efficient way to do it. Unplugging is simpler though.

Had smoldering pea dust twice this year. Gotta watch the red ones when it's this hot and dry. All done peas now, so will wash it out, and won't had any further worries.
