We had a bit of fixing to do this morning as the fat swaths from yesterday made on of the chains on the feeder chain jumped a link and was running crooked. It took some time to remember how we used to get it aligned, but once it was even again, we tightened it up and were out in the field by 9:30am.
Perfect weather again, hot and windy. There were problems for everyone, with one green one down at a time, then the big red one had bearing problems. The good news was that the third green one showed up and was out in the field, mid afternoon. Al had to come out with the service truck to blow out the rads and filters...all that fine dust was plugging things up. Once they were cleaned up, it was full speed ahead with no alarms.
We had three quarters lapped up and had moved over to another quarter, but this time we were full force...five machines. It sure doesn't take long to finish a quarter with that many machines...and a cracker jack cart driver.
Some days having radio contact with all machines would make things a lot easier...
