yup, there's a photo of an Indiannnnnna Hagie in this one. Remember mud? Yeah, that gooey stuff that happened years ago when it used to rain?
Anyhow, Purdue U. burned up a whole bunch of Hooooooser tax $$$$$ on this project. And maybe it will keep you agwebbies from doing something stupid, Can't have you dying cause the fed govt wants your tax contribution and all.......
GP: Good post. The first half was totally worthless, but they finally got to good info in the last half.
One of the best things that you can tow with is a combine...especially one with duals...AND depending on the situation...a full grain tank for more traction. The engine is at full throttle, but you can gradually apply power with the hydro. With modern combines you can lock the drivers. With older combines...like a 1680...the drivers automatically lock with the hydro all the way forward...soooo...you have to be ready to pull back. lol. Two way radios come in handy...even if the operator with his "hands full" can only listen. They DID mention it briefly...but always snap a coat or old Army field jacket around the middle of the tow rope/cable/chain. You don't want any bystanders anywhere near the TOTAL LENGTH of the tow/rope/cable/chain. it is false advertising to show a stuck red combine. You might have to unload the grain tank. You might even have to dump the grain on the ground if you can't get a grain cart under the auger. You might even have to drop the header and drag it out separate. But, you can not get a red combine stuck.
Ken had sent the booklet by mail to me....very good publication and another thanks to Ken for the hand's on reading.
In case anyone doesn't go ahead and check the pdf, you really should...go to page 32-33...when it rains, it pours
can be in the back of your mind...to begin with.
btw....48, I have memories of two different occasions when a red pos did NOT float..without headers, without
grain in grain tank...123 and 403, course that would have been before you came to Kansass.
