How is the corn yielding?? I am hearing of ear rot issues in the south. I have talked to some friends in TX and they are having a record harvest. North and South Carolina too wet
As for the texting. My brother was doing that last fall. HE ran a BIG rock into his combine. Wiped out the front half of the rotor on a JD 9670 combine. It cost him about $4500 and three days of work. I told him to leave the darn phone at home the next time. LOL
Before guys start telling me you can't get a rock into a JD rotor. You can if it is a flat ledge rock about 18 inches in diameter. Went right up the feeder house and the crop accelerator throw it right into the rotor. He was running corn too so the rock trap was full of ears.
It tore out the first two rows of rotor segments and the concave. It messed up the mounting holes in the rotor too. They make a weld in insert that replaced the mounting hole.
We did pull the complete rotor after season and had it rebalanced.
