Just curious mostly. You guys that have huge amounts a chaff build up, what machine are you running?

Neighbor was telling me that he had a buddy’s 9870 Deere burn up from spontaneous combustion from chaff that had collected under the foot grating in the engine bay and had gotten wet over the year from sitting out in the rain? We blow our combine off really good every night when we are done to minimize that as the Deere’s seem to collect a lot of chaff in that area.

Yes Deere has had thier issues. The 9870 I had was terrible for that. I just find that this Claas doesn't collect. The engine will have a mist of fine dust but the engine and rad area are what I would call spotless. A little collects around the top of the ladder but it would fit in an Ice cream pail. Maybe a little collects on the feeder house and straw chopper but its minimal. Thats why I wonder who was having trouble.

I guess I should clarify that a bit the newer models of Claas don't collect. The older series would collect more and was a 10 hr Maintenance schedule. So....Daily.

For those that are done.

We have two 9600’s and they get to a point of build up, but don’t get much worse. Always good to blow them off first thing in the morning when it’s still humid so it comes off in clumps rather powder.

Side note, getting ready for spring already. Working on some drainage in the fields.

Needs more air lol. N/A diesel screaming. 160hp supposedly on their advertisements. It likes to smoke but doesn’t bog down tires spin. I’m happy about t. Maybe the air filters from 40 years ago could be changed who knows. Lol

So are all these soyabeans in the States going to clear the market here during this 90 day tarriff truce?

Maybe finally get Canola to rally a little........

good luck on getting them moved. To order rail cars in the US right now you need 4-6 weeks. Crazy!

As I expected exporting conventional products to China is going to change.

60% of the global supply of Glysophate is made in China but yet they don't want to import any crop sprayed with it.....hmmmm

eclipse1966 · Jan 4, 2019

the problem they have is that a lot of products they import are produced and reexported to EU and Japan as a finished product. With residues their products are rejected. We experienced that with Canadian yellow peas shipped to China and found traces of glysophate in final product in EU.

I may ad that Bayer (German company) owns Monsanto but glyphosate is banned in EU.

It never hurts to actually mark the bag in the field. On a poor vis day they are hard to see

On poor vis days peps should stay on trail, know where they are, have permission to be there.
Farmers should not have to do extra work to protect their property and assets from trespassers or idiots.
Why gates get closed and locked to private lands.
We unlock one farm for the local sled rally and then locked again because of issues between sledders and hunters.

Heard there is a bill being brought forth that is going to revalue your land at today's prices and they are going to force you to pay the capital gains.

In other words the government is broke and they want a giant cash injection.
