until you partner with one of the big boys, or just get bought outright. kind of like climate, farmlogs, tillable, etc. i dont think thats a promise you can make.
We never have and never will sell any farmers data.

Since he jinxed me, and my auger pivot bushing is also worn, we are going to have a side by side comparison of pivot bushing replacements between Claas and Deere. @billionare81
So, finally got down to the problem. Only a small piece of the wear plate left. It’s been metal on metal for some time. I’m glad I pulled this all apart. Now the question is will John Deere have parts? I guess I’ll find out tomorrow.

Looking for a geringhoff northstar for parts, and how do people like Drago for parts? We run things until the manufacturer intentionally makes them obsolete.
call @Geringhoff, "hey i need 24 of this bevel gear 502306, looks like other countries have it but the US all supercedes to a rebuild kit" "yes we assume if the gear is bad internally you need all internals" "internals good, just external splines" "sorry" $3600 vs $30,000

crosses fd-245s off the wishlist. fd-75 rebuilds forever
So all you macdon people, everyone said buy macdon, I had honeybee nxt headers, traded them for 2 fd245, first day reel busts on a little wad of peas . Is this a common occurrence under tough conditions ?

Piscicide. Get used to that word, yet another expense for pests coming for our crops.
