Impossible to come off IF the pins were properly in place when the attachment was coupled. If you picked up the attachment WITH the pins already latched, you can use the attachment until it falls off, like you experienced. Always curl attachment back fully, then tip fully ahead to confirm...

Most third functions are a switch on the joystick. I haven't run a Fendt, I have come across other companies using rear remotes for loaders though. Some of that is just budget of the owner.

Exactly. My fields are brown and dead and he's baling hay. Neat to see the difference geography makes.

I ted crop that heavy regardless of weather, but getting 7 days of sun and warm in a row would be like winning the lottery here.

I've done some an been back in the field in 30 minutes. Others 12 hours for one bearing. My personally favorite is not using the same bearing sizes on the majority of the machine.

I might try straight oats for hay again. I tried oats & peas once, weather usually too fickle to cut for hay at right time, and my soil doesn't carry equipment too well when wet. I mudded that crop out since the oats were starting to mature. Need 4wd to rake that field....

Grass still brown up here in the north. You cut in dough stage?

Clutch dragging?

Guess I already did start prep. Got the baler control box mounted in new tractor. Ordered spare bearings for new to me baler. Did yard adjustments to hitch and rake height on new rotary rake. Calculated how much twine and wrap to buy. As of now I should just have to change oil & knives on the...

I've had many bearings go. I think I've replaced every one on this baler now. Last year one failed bearing turned into 7. The one that failed and smoked, two others that literally fell apart taking the machine apart to replace the first and 4 others that could hardly turn by hand.

Be a while yet for me. Don't have to do a whole lot this year though...at least I hope not.

Does the mower have sales literature that says what PTO HP is needed? A 276 should handle it ok, but how fast you can go will be determined by how heavy/tall the grass is.

That's too bad they couldn't answer basics like the GPM and capacity. Local sales and service are key. I did see a PTO pump 3pt model on my local dealer's lot 2-3 years ago.

Too bad on split fire, I've run a 3pt one for nearly 20 years with zero issues. I didn't have to contact the company, local dealer had them in stock and answers. What couldn't they answer?

Good cordless impact or pneumatic impact saves a lot of work. Nice spinning out 3/4" bolts with no effort. If the impact won't move them, the 3/4 drive breaker bar and cheater piper comes out.
