If you had to ask 1 question about #alphadisc, what would it be?

[iMc Fels 📲🌾 @ipaddockapps]

@Tedthekelpie In what way?

[iMc Fels 📲🌾 @ipaddockapps]

Oops there goes another $11k

[iMc Fels 📲🌾 @ipaddockapps]

@BenHobley Yep both within an hour of each other. Looks like the bolts came out on one end then it ripped the slat out at the other end.

Im finding all the bolts need torquing, another challenge with belts being that you can't just rattle them up hard like you do with chains

@colin_connop I just can't believe that after all these centuries using flat belts, the joiners are still total shit. Whehter that be splices on conveyors or these poxy clamps

Is it possible to repair feeder house cog belts?

Seems ridiculous replacing a full set at $11k just because one breaks at the joiner

@colin_connop Sounds great, how would we get it on!

[iMc Fels 📲🌾 @ipaddockapps]

@GribbleRC I love the belts to use, but like everything new these days, its great when it works but you just chuck it out if anything goes wrong

[iMc Fels 📲🌾 @ipaddockapps]

@knightd73 It uses a clamp style joiner, visible near the slat at the bottom there

[iMc Fels 📲🌾 @ipaddockapps]

@ajfrench42 Do you keep a spare on hand? Can they be sent away for repair?

[iMc Fels 📲🌾 @ipaddockapps]

@GavinHooper70 First 700Ha was half what we insured it for. Disappointed is one word for it

[iMc Fels 📲🌾 @ipaddockapps]

Or is there a better type of joiner to use? They only break at the join where it flexes around the metal edge. The rest of the belt would be good for 10k hours

@CasFarmerCD @BenHobley Yep, but not wear. A joiner fail. $11k for a joiner fail

@GavinHooper70 Not so big this year unfortunately as sclero has nailed us, but still plenty of bulk, green stalks and high humidity! Loads of fun for everyone

@BenHobley 1100 rotor hours

One lever adjusts the @ipaddockapps Typhoon's finger timing up to 190 degrees, right there in the field.

Snug it up for the damp morning, then back it off once the crop dries out, without ever climbing down to make the change.

@traviss22 So it’s basically a 3D image that you zoom in til you locate the part? Cause that would be awesome

Brilliant use case for autonomous machinery
