When do you start preparing combines for harvest? We usually started a month before going over our 2 SP combines.
If we didn't find any bad bearings, we knew from experience which ones were likely to fail during harvest so we went to a bearing supply and stocked up on bearings. Much faster to change bearings if you don't have to make a trip to the city.
With pre-maintenance, we usually didn't have much downtime during harvest. When we used to raise flax, we had to prepare things for winter so no time to check combines before we put them away.
