View of the day-Al picks up the flax on another warm and windy day. It was another early...relatively speaking...start to the flax harvesting. This time the 9600 was out picking up swaths and Kim was able to get some harvesting in before the 2388 started wrapping again.
Since there was more manpower than machines, Marilyn had the day off...sort of...she did help shuttle things over to the last field of flax, but mostly she was in the camper trying to get it cleaned up so that unloading won't be such a task.
Kim was able to get started on the last flax field and was making pretty good time until the flax started wrapping on the rock beater. He cleaned it off a couple of times then decided to quit when he discovered the front rotor bearing had packed it in...not a good thing at all. We had that happen a few years back when the flax wrapped so bad around the front of the rotor that it popped the seal on the bearing...and it ain't an easy fix.
Audrey brought supper out to the field and after
a good batch of stew, Al went back to work while Kim took over in the green machine while his dad booked off for the night. Al combined until his rock beater was all wrapped up, the quit for the night around 8pm. He figures there is around 40 acres left for tomorrow, then Kim and Bob will be done with there harvest...except for an acre or two where Kim planted his combine in the mud.Tomorrow we return to Kisbey...
