Welkers are a good bunch of boys. They have had some short crops like everyone else but their farm is still going. Just took on new ground last fall. They are equiped to fix an ything where some dont have dealers come in for major repair.

@leddieliveАй бұрын
Interesting question if anyone knows the answer I'd appreciate it. The reel is in 3 parts & appear to be individual sections, can you adjust the speed of each section manually or does the combine vary the speeds as a turn compensation, similar to a spray as it increases product to the fast moving outside boom & decreases product to the slow moving inside boom when turning. I realise my question may sound weird, but in say Israel huge circular plots are farmed because it's easier to irrigate, therefore if you cut that crop in a circular fashion differing reel speeds would most definitely be advantageous?
@gkloepperАй бұрын
You can‘t, all three sections are always moving equally fast. I would guess they‘re all driven by a single drive and not independantly.

It would be good to see that Case machine cutting some of those pluggy lentils you have struggled with, TBH I think the Case would cope, as the latest AF11 Case machine is a whole new design layout, cutting down the number of drive belts & maximising hydraulic motor use allowing greater speed controls & reversing abilities. Probably too late to trial a new AF11 this season Mike, but if you truly love your wife, who has borne you beautiful children & treats you like a God, I'd expect a new AF11 Case combine for 2025 season just because Ashtyn is worth every penny! 🥰 (Get yourself out of this one Mikey boy)😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
