I took over as plant manager in the machine shop that I have been working at for the last 24 years. Things are way more laid back now then they were when I started there. We have stools now that people can sit on while their machine is running ( helps as none of us are getting any younger), also if you need a day off for Dr or family stuff you have the day off no questions asked. It seems if you give the employees a little more flexibility wetend to see less people calling in sick or just not showing up.
The family and I are headed down there Friday, can't wait to see all the beautiful tractors and equipment. A huge shout out and thank you to everyone who had a display there for us to drool over and to everyone who put this show together!!!!
We have a Stx 275 and I think one of my steering cylinders is leaking, but I'm not sure how to tell which one it is. When you are driving straight you have to keep turning the steering wheel to the left. You turn it about 3-4 times all the way around in about 1 mile. The tractor keeps going straight but youhsve to continually keep turning the wheel. Which cylinder would be causing this or how do I check it?
I am looking for this spring and spring mount for the drive wheel on a 16 row 955 front fold planter. Would anyone have one or know of where i could get one? I am converting my planter back to ground drive and am missing these pieces.
As for trailers we have 2 Titan 32ft triple axle trailers with pull out ramps. I will never buy another trailer with this style of ramp they are the biggest pain in the butt. Flip over are way better. I would also go to duals. Some people say dual wheeler trailers pull harder but I haven't noticed that.
If you stay within 150 radius of home or don't cross state lines you don't need a cdl, but if you cross state lines with a combination that can haul 26,001lbs then a cdl is required. Crossing state lines makes you have to adhere to federal law.
Our full bale switch never did work right and we ha e had 10 of these balers. We bale til the tractor pulls down pretty good. Ours have 1000 pto shafts and we pull them with mx 120s. We bale until the tractor pulls down from 1000 pto rpm to 970 pto rpm. Need to make big full bales otherwise they sag really bad. That is our experience anyway.
There is also a wire harness connector on the firewall that can give troubles. On our tractor the pins inside the connector corroded and we lost power to out shutoff.
