John Deere Swathing

rusty6 · Sep 6, 2019

I can't remember if I posted this video link here already. Its almost a week old now. Swathing, or windrowing, my canola with the John Deere (Macdon built in Canada) 2360 swather. Its got the same diesel engine as my 2130 tractor without the turbo. A little 239 four cylinder that is really easy on fuel. Canola crop ranged from good to poor. Most in the are is not yet ready. Crop progress has been slower than normal due to a cool damp August that shows no sign of improving in September.

i like the video!
Visiting family north of you a ways, about 5 miles north of Norquay. Theres a few hail damaged fields that have been cut and bailed, and swathers started on canola big time yesterday, but very little else is harvested. its slow everywhere with this moisture. On the drive from the Edmonton area....892km saw ONE field with running combines, and less than a dozen completed fields.

Only thing I have seen harvested here is peas. Most canola still standing although I think some might be left to straight cut. Wheat, oats, not ready here and glad I didn't swath it to get all that rain on it and soak the swath.
