Dad ran a toolbox in his 540 blower that was running 1000 pto. One new blower and sixty ft. of new plastic blower pipe later they were going again.The worst ever was the day he traded his Deere 34 chopper for a brand new 38. His farm was hilly and he was chopping strips. He chopped his 112 chuck wagon full finishing the strip at the top of the hill and moved to the lower strip filling his 110 chuck wagon. He parked the 4020 and new 38 at the bottom of the hill and took the 110 in to unload and eat lunch. When he came back to the field he found that the 112 wagon had ran down the hill backward and hit the 38 chopper on the cutterhead side destroying it.He called the dealer and the delivery man had not even made it back with his 34 yet. Because he used John Deere credit the machine was insured and he had another new one the next morning. The wagon only needed a little work so it could of been worse but the chopper was always parked uphill of the wagons after that. Then there was the time my Grandfather was chopping with an old Gehl flywheel type chopper and the wagon came unhooked and bumped the drive pully forward just enough that the chopper knives hit the shearbar destroying everything. He was sure that the left wheel even came off the ground.LOL He then bought a new 780 Allis chalmers chopper. Tom
