The old 68 was a popular machine here as well. As for using old machines, thats how farmers of the past survived! It's just the past generation that can't live with out new iron. But in the long run they cannot afford that luxury anymore. When my grand parents farmed, they took years to get the equipment they had, and used it mostly for their whole life, that way they didn't need to farm the whole county just to pay for the new paint and break even! I think we'll need to get back to that practice for independant farming to survive the next generations. This Corporate ag and the greed that goes with it is unsustainable in the long term.

In case you havent looked Our own 68 was dropping knots the odd time this year turned out it was the spring under one of the knotters broke still knotted most of the time without it though so threw me off for long enough.
@TheClassicFarmer2 ай бұрын
cheers for that ill keep any eye in the future for it happening. I traced the problem down this year to the split pins holding the stripper arms up being worn. So the arms were not clearing the knots ad we were getting build ups.
