knocked the oats down

Posted by Don-Wi on July 28, 2007 at 21:47:44 from (70.224.201.72):

I dropped the crimper and center pan under the auger on our Hesston 1014+2 and cut the oats tonight for the combine that's coming on Monday. I'd say for a machine with an auger instead of the canvas belts, it worked pretty durn good.

I stopped to inspect it after the 1st round and while there was some on the ground under the swath, it really didn't seem all that much worse than it is from a regular old fashined swather.

The best part is- It's our own machine, instead of having to borrow a neighbor's machine only to have to fix it when the drive chain breaks and blows out the drive clutch underneath (guess how I know...)

I'll let you guys know about how many bushels we get- it's only a 5-6 acre field. Good thing I cut it though instead of letting them try to get it green- the grass was kinda thick on one end and on the other end the velvet leaf was starting to really come up. The corn that was in it last year got a very poor spray job so alot of velvet leaf went to seed. This year's corn doesn't look all that bad. Got some that is for sure 9-10 ft. tall. The rest is for sure 8 ft. if not more. I need to check it with a tape measure...
