Got a few more acres harvested this past week but its not looking good for this week. ?inches of rain forecast and even snow is possible. Not ready for that. Still got 120 acres of flax to harvest. I don't want another spring harvested crop.

Looks good.

Just started a few rounds of beans today. Lots of harvest to go. They are predicting 1.2 top 1.6 inches of rain Tuesday.

We only just dried out a bit from the bad rains a week ago, I didn't try the bad places yet!

My dad used to like to raise flax in N MN, we don't see much of it anymore. On the way home from the cabin yesterday we noticed one of the main pieces of ground harvested is an area that was tiled a few years ago. If the crops were worth anything it would be paying off for them.
 
(quoted from post at 02:13:56 10/03/16) Nice , I would love to have all of that straw !

I had actually hoped to bale a few small squares myself but its not looking good. After a week of no rain the windrrows left behind the 1660 were still wet inside when I tried to bale on Saturday. Plugged the baler , slipped the pto on the old Cockshutt 50 before breaking the shear pin. Still have not got it clear even trying to pry that bale out with a crow bar. The two inches of rain predicted for today and tomorrow will only add to the problem.
 
I have a field two weeks since cut. got a couple wagons last Sunday, but rest still wet. Think I'm going to give up and brush hog the rest down for mulch. What's in those windrows is not going to be worth a hoot. Got a couple small fields to go, but think they'll be cut and left to lay for mulch too. Just too late in the season. Had about two weeks of rain, and raining again this morning.
 
Rusty I assume that long sock on the end of the unloading auger is there to keep the lighter grains from blowing away in the wind while you are unloading. I remember seeing unloading augers with that sock back when I was up your way.

You are right. In windy conditions flax and canola can blow away before it hits the truck box. Or else I need a bigger truck :)
In fact that is a section of inner tube from an old tractor tire I bolted on. Works as good as the expensive store bought ones and did not cost a cent.
 
You could use a machine like this to fluff, move windrows to the side....I built it in about 2 days time from a JD windrow pickup. Hyd pivots it from side to side, so you can maintain original swath spacing. Hyd motor adjust speed to fluff the windrow.

That is a neat looking attachment you built. Could you show more pictures of it? Looks like that would take the place of a tedder. I like seeing inventions like this that farmers have built..
Thanks,,

I can see how it lifts the swath but not sure how it would move it over to the side. I'm thinking just get my old Pollard wheel rake and roll the swath to dry. Raining and cold now so I've got a while to wait.
