Don't know if we'll get to it this weekend, but high on the list now is pulling our newly acquired (from several months ago) Hesston 1110 - 7 ft mower conditioner out and getting it tuned up and ready to go - if there is such a thing.....
Got the manual - beyond that, any tips, tricks or other sage advice regarding adjustment/servicing?
This mower conditioner has the rubber top roller and steel bottom roller - both intermesh with each other. I'll be checking the gap on that too. The sickle sections are riveted type and the guards are standard rock guards - look to be Hesston vs aftermarket.
Never been around a Hesston machine. Seen New Holland haybines with the rubber rollers conditioning hay. The Hesston steel on rubber rollers lugs look taller/deeper than the New Holland rubber chevron rollers. Hoping the Hesston will do as good a job as the New Holland type rollers.
Any sage preseason advice on setting up this Hesston 1110 is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill
