Elizabethtown,KY | Probably the worst thing my dad did was leave the unloading folded out on the old 6620 and bent the cylinder and broke the end off of it, but didn't hurt the auger, God knows I tore up a few things when I was young and first running equipment. He had glaucoma from the time I was in high school and lost his peripheral vision and was legally blind in his left eye, the hardest thing I ever had to do was ask him to step out of the combine for good, he got to leaving skipped rows and running corn off the far side of trucks.
I have a retired friend who shells corn for me now, the worst thing he has done is back into a light pole in a corn field with the 9510 I used to have, only hurt the flat sheet on the bottom of the chopper that has the deflectors on it, and he broke a gearbox on the right hand side of my 693 corn head 2 years ago when he went through a ditch and the header control didn't react quickly enough, really pretty lucky in this respect. | |
