I was "chug a lug a lugging 5 miles an hour in my International Harvester" ....... and then my tire left me. Oops.

All in all it was mostly just inconvenient, I had it back on in an hour or so.... once I found the tire :wink:



This was a little more serious. The neighbour was baling hay that was too dry, things were plugging up, and I think she slipped the clutch until it caught on fire. Thankfully she had the presence of mind to take it into the oat crop to finish burning. We helped put the fire in the field out, it was touch and go for a while.

So if anyone is looking for a good clean one owner JD 567 baler, I can hook you up :wink:
 
Ouch! It hurts just to look at that baler! :shock: The important thing is only the baler was lost and no one hurt in the deal.

The tractor looks like you must have been cruising along 5 mph singing "You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel!" I'm assuming the wheel hub somehow came loose and slid off the axle?

I'm in the house for dinner and got my tractor on the battery charger. I was ready to dump a bale and the monitor goes dead and says "fail comm".

After looking at those burnt baler pics it somewhat concerns me that I cannot even eject a bale when the juice goes dead. Since I put the charger on 30 amps the baler should be ready to go again after I get off here. I think my alternator is OK, but it doesn't keep up too well when I only rev the tractor about 1500 rpms and running the AC full blast to boot! :oops: :wink:
 
That's what you "gentlemen farmers' get for holidayin' in the oil patch, makin' BIG money, and then have to come back home and learn how to farm again. :D :D :D :D

Oh Yeah, I knew I was supposed to recheck them lug-bolts :???: :oops:

Glad everything worked out OK at the end.
 
OUCH!!!! Looks like that'd put a knot on yer head. Haha looks like the same tractor I was shreddin with all last year. Them side wing windows aint cheap. But......not as expensive as the other windows. Good thang you didn't bang your head n bust the window out.

Click to expand...

I'm checking them twice a day now..... :oops:
 
A friend of mine bought a new baler about 10 years ago and his wife asked if they should put insurance on it to which he said no way.Well she went ahead and insured it anyhow and it ended up catching fire that summer.She let him cry about it for a few day's before she told him it was insured.
