Kansas | Water isn't going to enter a bearing without pressure. A power washer directly pointed at it, yes. Crossing a river, no.
Sealed bearings are just that. Greasable ones should have a good enough seal otherwise heavy rains and combines would need bearing replacement right away each time.
If theres a good footing underneath, I don't see what the big deal is. Yea, the first 50 bushel through will probably be wet getting the moisture out of the machine but aside of that, it wouldn't hurt anything.
I've yet to figure what everyone is scared about in these pics.
What is that water going to hurt?
If a bearing is running hot, I wouldn't worry so much about it sucking water in anyways, won't be long and it'll be toast from the mere fact the lubricant is gone and steel on steel in a friction spot is going to make it kerplunk very fast.
