By now Ivan is past. How did you fare? We had about 1 1/2 inches of rain and some breeze. Course everyone was scared and buttoned up. I'm about 1/2 done shelling and Perdue has stopped buying anything over 16%--their driers can't keep up and the tanks are full. They move everythiong by barge and in the middle of corn harvest decided to replace their dolphins which means they haven't loaded out a barge for two weeks. Now they looking to put it on the ground but won't till there been a few dry days. Since corn has been 18% for the last 3 weeks unless you have a bin and a drier harvest is shut down.
I took the time to get the 1855 set up for plowing and in the middle of the coupler chain dropped off. At least it's in the building. What I can't remember is which way to point the long cotter pin--with rotation or against?

Not much damage or rain here at all, thank goodness. We had a little over an inch of rain and the wind blew pretty good Friday and Sat. I worked on the combine all day Sat and am going to have to call Hoobers today to get some new concaves for it before I can start shelling. Corn here is still 20% plus, no shelling going on yet, but it is a matter of a few weeks and we should be running.

On the coulper chain, you always put the cotter pins in pointing away from the direction of rotation. You want the heads to be facing the way it turns, does that make sence. That way as the chain rotates it pushes the cotter pin in the hole more and doesnt try to push the pin out of the hole. It does make a difference believe it or not.....

Glad Ivan didnt bother you much either. Good luck with the harvest.....

Yup makes sense and is what i suspected but wanted to be sure. Did you ever try the chain with the center links?
I don't know how tall the corn is but sitting in the combine (4400) I'm looking through it not over it. I don't usually have a problem with weeds but too much rain and the morning glories are trying to take over.
