Just a brief harvest update here as I wait for the hunidity to drop and the sun come out. Been going steady for a week now either swathing or combining it seems. We finished up the wheat swaths last night. Just a few acres of oats left and then move home to the last field of canola. Wheat yield awesome (for me) but the canola was nothing to write home about. Some video of it here. Photo from yesterday when my brother was trucking. Good to have the 2 speed working again on the old Loadstar.

Wheat harvest
 
Had a 7721 combine for many years. very good machines.. Did you not get your SP combine going this year so you could straight cut..
 
I'll bet there is a learning curve to hitting the truck with the auger that far away from the tractor looking back there. Not actually hitting the truck but not spilling the wheat.
 
(quoted from post at 17:35:00 10/02/22) Its easier than you think. I harvested with a MF 851 for years, you catch on pretty fast. Bigger issue for me was not being able to view inside the truck box, to know if it was going to fit.
No, never easy for me and I've spilled more than my share of grain on the ground or the truck cab. My depth perception is terrible plus the tractor seat is too low for a good view in the truck box to see if I'm centred or too far ahead or back. I really need to get that sp 1660 working.

No I did not attempt the repair on the 1660 CIH. Just spent the last three hours or so unplugging the 7721. Cylinder locked up solid in tough canola straw. I've never seen it so tough at 5:30 in the afternoon. Hoping for a drier day tomorrow or else its going to be a long and difficult finish on that 120 acres.
