Hey all,
After having a lot of trouble trying to cut beans, I found that my m2's straw walkers are busted up at the far end. The grates are busted up, repaired, and busted up again. I pulled a walker from my short shoe m2 parts machine to take pieces off and found they're all busted up, too. Someone spent a lot of time brazing cracks, and the brazing is cracked out again. I'll be able to fix these up to do the 35 acres of beans I need, but then I'm gonna have to pull them and fix them up.
The wood blocks on my working M2 are worn out, wonder if the extra banging sped up this damage. But, the blocks in the short shoe m2 are tight, so maybe not.
Are Gleaner walkers just weak?
On a side note, I had to cut a hole on top to get to them. I'll just cut a piece off my parts machine to mend it. Why didn't Gleaner put an access door on the top of the walker housing like Deere did?
