A few weeks ago I posted that I was having problems with my newly aquired 6620 JD with rear wheel assist. My first problem was that my rear wheel assist didn't work. It turned out that my drive belts were not tightened properly even though the JD dealer I bought the combine from said the machine was field ready.
Got that working and while combining in the mud bent the left side of the corn head shield when it caught a pile of mud. Got lucky there when a repair shop repaired it better than new.
Next I had to replace the fan shroud and then , while combining a pin hole developed in a power steering hose and covered the belt that drives the thresher and feeder house with oil causing the belt to slip. Fixed that and went to combining again but because of the belt having been slipping the inside of the machine was full of unthreshed material and that caused the belt that drives the shoe auger to slip and break,
Finally got all of that fixed and had no more problems and finished the corn for the year.
Can't wait until next year to see what happens.
ISN'T THIS FARMING GREAT FUN???
