It qualifies as a REAL farm eruck now.... Ran my discbine into a fence post and bent the side shield on the right side trying to get all the forage cut, From here in out I'll stay a foot off the fence line. That side shield is over 500 bucks at NH. This winter I'll take it off and maybe repair it with some hillbilly bodywork.
I asume the corroded rim is from running CACL, correct? Something I never do. CACL is planned obsolence. Got 35 4x5 tight wrapped bales of the little piece I'm doing now, I was surprised. Got it off, parked the bales on the headlands and sprayed the field with my usual DEF and water mix to get the alfalfa growing well for possibley a September-October cut if the weather cooperates.
I need to change the knives on the disc bine as well as hardface the skid shoes. Best price I've found for the serrated cutter knives I use is Shoup. About 1/4th of the NH price. Same knife as well. I'll probably change the gear oil in the cutter bar as well. The sandy loam we are on plays heck on anyrhing ground contact.
My customer will drop off a trailer, I'll load them and away they go.
