Bad day for the 2588

[IH Forever]

I hope the surgery goes well and he recovers quickly.

I hate to see such a nice lower hour machine damaged, but that's minor compared to the human injury.

Hope your brother turns out well will be praying.  Things like this are a fear of mine.  We had a tie rod end let go on the last pass through a field, thank God it did then and not a little later when it would have on the road.

Hope he turns out OK!  Too bad on the combine.  A little humor, hope it’s not out of place here.

This machine was rolled last fall by an 80 year old farmer.   He came through the ordeal with lacerations and bruises.  It blew a hydraulic line on the hydro and he had no brakes/ steering down a steep hill with a curve at the bottom.  The grain head was in a tree on one end.

I hope your brother heals quickly from his injuries.   Prayers from Iowa.

My 2588 is at the dealership getting a go over right now. Tech working on it sent me a picture of my tensioner rod and sent it to me this morning. That could've been a bad situation too

Yeah, not much left there!

One or two fields have hills and boys don’t come into the combine (1460) for those.
