We didn't get going until after 11am, but once we started we didn't stop until after dark...well, a couple of us didn't, at least. One of the green ones was down with a broken serpentine belt and the big red one(as opposed to our medium red one) had concave motor issues.
We got the field we were on done by 5pm, then moved a few miles south to the next full section we had to work on. All machines were working for the first field, with the green one giving it up just as we were finishing. We had three machines to start on the section, but lost the red one after dark.
We had perfect harvest weather, although we could have used a bit more wind to help dry the big swaths down. We have moved over to 38 foot swaths, up from the 35 foot swaths that we had just finished...the 3 foot difference is noticeable in our machine. The speed has dropped, not due to the power, but the feederhouse just does not want to swallow that big swath.
Maybe it will be better when the sun shines tomorrow...
