We've had so much rain here lately. I started here at the home place as the weeds were starting to pop through, and the pigweed is putting on pressure. I ran one day with no issues. The wheat is so-so. I started the second day in the worst part of the field with the intention of burying that load at the bottom of the grain truck. I went to unload and started shearing bolts on the 9500. I've broken the drive chain but never sheared the bolt on the main belt drive. It turns out that with the weight of the wheat and "foreign material" the vertical unloading auger flighting collapsed. Last year I replaced the bin auger as the flighting was bad. I should have realized the unloading auger flighting would be just as bad as they handle as much grain. My fault.
Now every part is on a rush from Deere. Rain is coming in the forecast and I have many days to go. If they can't get the good tech I want out here to the farm to put it in I am going to do it myself. I'm not going to send it to town so they can "work it in" - I won't see my combine for a week. Such is harvest, huh?!
