No rain for 2 months, but today I go get the neighbor's 60, go 100 feet and get dumped on. Decided to make a few rounds anyway to see how things worked, biggest problem was the reel slipping. I can't adjust the height and I think it is too low for how tall the rye is. I also had a problem with it wrapping on the outboard side....otherwise it worked ok. http://s29.photobucket.com/user/ejons/media/012_zpsbmcnbp8e.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s29.photobucket.com/user/ejons/media/009_zpsnacdskcy.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s29.photobucket.com/user/ejons/media/006_zps0hyohjos.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s29.photobucket.com/user/ejons/media/007_zpsnhw8unu2.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  ------------- ALLIS EXPRESS!

It makes a good step when checking how much rye is in the hopper..... ------------- ALLIS EXPRESS! This year: |

ELDON IF THE CROP IS WRAPPING AROUND THE REAL SHAFT THE REAL IS SET TO LOW, WE JUST CUT RYE TODAY WITH A BINDER AND SOME OF IT WAS FIVE FEET TALL SO I HAD REAL SET AS HIGH AS IT WOULD GO. |

I kinda figured that, but the real height is rusted in place....I picked the header up as far as the cylinder would go, that helped but was still a PITA. Got her done, tho, probably as much rye on the ground as in the hopper....glad I only had 3/4 acre to do. ------------- ALLIS EXPRESS! This year: |

Well, I figure I have about 18 bushel in the barn....will save some for my cover crops and probably sell the rest to the organic farmers in the area. Now I need to decide if I want to keep the combine as the neighbor wants to sell it....I think I can get it working better, but I really don't have a good place to store it.... ------------- ALLIS EXPRESS!
