View of the day-A perfect start to the day...beautiful weather and great cutting.We had to stop in town before we came out to the field, to get four new hydraulic hoses made for the grain cart. It didn't take long to get them made and we were out at the field, putting them back on the cart. All systems go.
Marilyn got cutting right around 10am, while Al went to the bin site to get the truck unloaded. There were bearing problems on the auger, but he was managing to limp it along until Dale could get out with a replacement. Unfortunately, Dale was having issues with one of his combines...the back axle broke on his 2188...something we have dealt with on a couple of occasions.
Dale did show up with the bearing later on in the afternoon, so he and Al started the rebuild while Marilyn kept on combining. By the time they had finished the fix, it was already dark and Marilyn had filled the General, grain cart and the combine hopper. Everything will get unloaded in the morning.
It has been a long time since we have left a full hopper in the combine overnight...
