Never buy a tractor that's smarter than you are.
bjrogg:
Yes lots of adjustments, settings and controls on a combine.
I’m not sure if I can, but I try to stay smart enough to keep up with our combine, sprayer and tractors.
The combine I was running yesterday had a brain fart.
It suddenly got confused and started throwing trouble codes. Derarated engine to idle.
It’s brain froze and I had to unplug all the connections to it and leave them unplugged for two minutes. After a two minute nap I plugged it back in and everything worked. Wasted about 45 minutes of the best harvesting conditions we’ve had yet, but at least it worked.
About 45 minutes later we had a little shower pass thru. The sun shined and the wind blew after so I’m hoping our wheat is still good quality.
All our trucks are full now. Elevators are full of wet wheat and lines are very long. Got up at 4:30 to take trucks out.
Hopefully we can have a big day today. Probably going to be hard to get trucks empty through.

Ya got to love electronics , just turn it off or unplug and give it time to think and it sometimes fixes itself :-\ I liked it much better when things went wrong you could figure out the problem , repair it and it was done until something else happened. I guess the new stuff is good to a point but it seems I am always on edge that some kind of light is going to come on and their is no way on the road for me to fix it, My truck use to do that on just about ever long trip I would take, after the warranty went out I took all that stuff of and deleted it, now for 2 years , no problems. ;)
Can't go to CA. in it but don't plan to go there anyway ;) :) :) :) :)
