I'll bet that Deere dealer is happy to see you guys so he can clean out his old inventory of used heads. Did you trade in your other heads for these?

I'm betting they are using these to do the crappier crop to prevent damage to the new headers.

@bpaul1201awesome 9 ай бұрын

@bungiemia thats what i was thinking They are gonna have to run low to get all the crop they can get at harvest and no need to tear up the new heads on that stuff when you can get some older used ones for a pennies to beat up.

Glad to hear that those 3 semi's managed to avoid a more serious accident, i recently had a close call while driving a ten wheel truck with a 4k gal. Water tank when a car ran a stop sign, thankfully i was empty and not going to fast and was able to slow Down enough. luckily i had my brown undies on😂

@2010utube100 9 ай бұрын

When I look at fairly new equipment on dealer lots, there is ALWAYS glaring problems with EVERY item. Mikes headers---PTO shaft snapped off, auger covers missing, and more things they WILL find!!! How do people trade in things like that???? Don't salesman look at trade-ins? They ALWAYS look at mine and pick it apart, but when I do that to their lot trash the price never reflects it.

We demoed the 645s, didn’t like it because of the pea auger. Went 745s, much better of a header. You would think the engineers would have thought about the bunching on either side of the 645s. You guys must have started by now? We didn’t grow lentils or peas, we will start in maybe 2 wks. Have a safe harvest.

False. There is a reason and that's so the person behind him can watch the trailer and make sure everything is alright and if a tire blows out then the person behind the person with a blown tire csn tell the person in front of him. Also I don't think your supposed to pull headers at 65 mph. He said they was going 90 kph so that's like 55mph and that's pushing it for the small tires on the header trailers hence why he said they was in the slow lane that way people can still go around.
