That is a real tough one to deal with, large dairy operation near me lost a JD to fire while in the field last year not sure what the model was, had to be one of their larger late models, they are the biggest operation in this county, my neighbor has what I believe is a 7000 series, with a 6 row cornhead, and recently added drive axle on the back, they had to hire him to finish up the harvest of a few hundred acres, all before he did his own harvest of about 350 acres, and he has no means to dry the corn, so he's got to wait until it's dry enough in the field, when it's ready, you really have to hustle to beat the weather and get it off the field before the birds and other animals like, deer, squirrels take their toll, it turns into a rat race real quick, longer it stays in the field the worse the harvest is, more so in isolated field surrounded by woods which is sad because these fields always produce good crops in most years, having a dryer set up would seem to be a big help, as you would not lose so much, but is probably cost prohibitive to buy one for smaller operations like his. I think the large dairy operation here had the same problem, just could not locate another machine to get back in the field.
Hopefully you will be able to figure out how to get something back in the field asap, your own or hired out, just an awful thing to deal with when in the midst of the fall harvest.
