3:30 checking that the fans are running: Here’s a head-slapper “Why didn’t I think of that?” idea. I was in a Japanese engine plant back around 1987. In those days a lot of the machines were controlled by pc. Each pc had a cooling fan, but you couldn’t hear them running when the machine tools were running. The Ford plants in the U.S. had electronic monitors and a small computer readout on each fan. The maintenance team people monitored the screens as they went about their work. At the Mazda engine plant they had a cheap little kid’s pinwheel clamped onto each fan housing - and all the employees were trained to glance at the pinwheels. If the line was running and a pinwheel wasn’t pinwheeling, maintenance would be notified. Those little pinwheels cost - what - 10 cents, 25 cents each? Very reliable and cheap to replace.

I saw a lot of comments about the backpack blower. We used to use a commercial air compressor now I use an Echo PB9010T which is the most powerful blower on the market today I used to use a Stihl doesn't compare to the Echo blower. You will save yourself so much time.

Someone mentioned a leaf blower to blow off equipment. I use a commercial backpack blower and I think it would do a good job and faster on the heaver debris. I did not mention the brand, but it begins with an S. It moves large stones. I got it to move the over 200lbs of acorns' I get.

I know exactly what you mean by "bittersweet". In the spring, you take a tiny little seed and put in the ground, then you care for it, water it, watch it grow. Hours of hard work to get to harvest. Harvest arrives and you see the fruits of your labor and race is one to get the crop in before bad weather sets in. Suddenly, it's over. You are back to where you started with bare earth. Another crop in, another year gone.

So at the end of this hay season I wasn't very happy. We suffered a severe drought which gave us very poor yields on second cutting grass and I knew to be able to meet customer demands I had to start shopping and then hauling from areas outside the drought zone. Luckily I only had to go about an hour west or south. I did the same thing last year because of the wildfire smoke. Praying for a better '25

You need to make a rope with a weight and a flag. Weight on the inside is heavy enough to pull the rope and flag over or through a pipe in the roof. Released from the frond, the flag reverse indicates how full the bin is. If the flag is in the right spot it will correspond at the ground most ring just like when the bin is full. Keeps you from going up and down the bin.

I used to hate that job myself! Mind you in my day combines were more open, less guards etc so was easier, but still a pain. You've got to get all this augers and elevators clear to stop the vermin. Is a nightmare when it comes to pre harvest checks when you turn everything over, and find their nests come flying out! That is the worst part of cleaning out. Thanks Becky, and Zach, always enjoy your hard work, 'cos I don't have to do it myself anymore!!!!!!!!!

Like others have said below, we use leaf blowers on our combines, I personally like the Ego battery powered leaf blower it is easier to get into those hard to get to spots, we also use the Echo backpack blowers they blow a bit harder but are not nearly as mobile. Anyway in my experience both leaf blowers are much faster at cleaning combines than compressed air.

I currently am an aircraft mechanic that works with 3D printers to help aid in aircraft shortage of parts and have been an aircraft mechanic for 12years. I have 14 years experience with aircraft and if you have a spare moment id love to toss an idea by you to potentially save yourself and your equipment.
