We took the shop trailer out to the field so we could use the compressor to blow out the filters and rads. It sprinkled enough on the way over that we had to use the wipers, but two miles away, at the field, there wasn't a drop.
While Al worked on cleaning the filters, Marilyn did a bit of cleaning on the GPS antenna to see if we could narrow down the autosteer issue. We swapped the module out with the one on the farmers combine and it worked perfectly. Back to square one.
After several phone calls to ProHarvest, it has pretty much boiled down to a software issue, which the local dealer promises to come out to rectify. But first we have to finish the winter wheat.
The weather threatened all day and there were even severe weather watches out, but we managed to be in the right spot as they seemed to split and go around us. With time to kill while we waited, we went into Kipling for lunch.
Back out at the field, we did some more waiting and finally at 3pm we did a test...15.7%. We were good to go. All four machines cranked up and we were making dust...not a lot, mind you...but at least it was going through.
We cut until 7:30, which was when it got tougher and the dust basically quit coming out the back.
Dark skies to the south and north of us, but we stayed dry...
