@engines_gundogs I’m not sure id call 12.6 protein seriously good wheat but nice to see it’s weighing up.

@2Langer @AdamJPfeffer Like powder? Do you make a paste with water and scrub in or just throw on and let it sit?

@YoungBuckFarms Hit clear and carry on with your day. Sometimes ours will do it multiple times a day then go a week without doing it.

@KoubaRichard I have no idea never ran a 1680. This is the first combine we’ve ever had with the disc style spreaders. All our others have vertical spreaders.

That’s interesting though, we’ll see how this works out.

[Dallas Thacker @Thacker1Dallas]

Another round of trying to manufacture our own parts to save a couple bucks. Local red store wants over 600$ for new spreader paddles. We have an arc droid and a metal master, we’ll see how the homemade ones work for us!

@YoungBuckFarms We try and do as much as we possibly can to keep our operating costs as low as possible. Every year seems like we’re building/fixing more instead of replacing.

[Dallas Thacker @Thacker1Dallas]

@KoubaRichard What did you notice for decreased performance, wouldn’t throw as far? The dimple is what makes them wear out, it’s stretched steel so it’s thin there. I checked Abilene but couldn’t find them for the 40 series.

Hopefully they hold up if not I’ll have to bite the bullet!

@farmerjim13 That’s what I figured as well. Don’t be skimpy with the lock tight reinstalling, ask me how I know 🙄

@farmerjim13 Koyo 63/282RSC3 is the bearings mine run.

[Dallas Thacker @Thacker1Dallas]

@farmerjim13 That idler looks the same as what’s on our combines. I always re-bearing them trying to catch before they fail, just a heads up that even with good bearings it seems they don’t last as long as the originals. Usually got 1-1500 hours original and like 6-800 on the next set.

@TSmith1867 Small engine it would lift not an issue I think. I don’t think I’d try and pull a complete isx out, I have enough other ways to lift that haha. But doing a head or something on one would be fine.

[Dallas Thacker @Thacker1Dallas]

Roughly 2 years ago we brought these cranes home from Ritchie Bros in Saskatoon, today we got the first one fully operational and ready to use. One more thing checked off the list for the new shop!

@TSmith1867 Not much all the way out, full reach is about 30’ and I think 3-400Lbs. Still more than I can lift though! Full capacity is about 10k lbs, or until I rip it out of the concrete?

[Dallas Thacker @Thacker1Dallas]

@RollerRexRider They’re cemented 4 feet into the ground with 10 posts underneath 6” of concrete. I wish I took pictures of the frame before we put them in.

[Dallas Thacker @Thacker1Dallas]

@BrownKatepwe Ours was old enough it didn’t have the cnc port and I just tied into the trigger wires to run it.

It’s definitely paid for itself with the things we’ve built this winter using it.

[Dallas Thacker @Thacker1Dallas]

@BrownKatepwe It took me a few days to catch onto it. Once I started finding some YouTube videos it got a lot easier. Started in January and I’m pretty good with it now. I believe so, our hypotherm is probably 20 years old and it’s fine.

[Dallas Thacker @Thacker1Dallas]

@BrownKatepwe Yes it is
