Important

Hours on a machine must be somewhere near the same as mileage, right? I mean, those things don't move too quickly, I'd imagine 1mph average.

So what's life expectancy of big machines like that?

I run @ 3mph on beans w/ a 30' header, little more or little less depending on conditions...corn is a crap shoot..I run a 8 row corn head and depending of I am in 45 bu crap corn or 240 corn my speeds vary greatly. Good maintence and lube is the key to anything. I got over 11K hours out of my John Deere tractor before it needed an overhaul. It was a one owner unit and had impecable upkeep. There is not a lot of sit and idle time in these things (combines), we do 75% or more of our unloading on the fly, so if its running it is likely shelling!


That info on the parts is greatly appreciated, it just came out of the shop preseason and those are about the only damn things that were not replaced.

You know you have a jeep habit when you start thinking about selling parts off your jeep to pay for parts you want. then you realize the parts you have ain't worth enough to give up...

wonder what the price of bone marrow is going for these days :D

One of the clubs at school were gracious enough to invite me over to mall crawl their car for a fundraiser for a food bank today. It was fun and the club members got a kick out of it

We're doing this (Halloween 'Smash N Bash') on Thursday to raise money for our High Mileage Vehicle team for this years race season...


My administration denied me permission to crawl over the car at the end due to 'safety concerns'...
