The Life of a Custom Mowing contractor

WOW, thats wet and early (no leaves on trees)

I hadn't looked but there used to be outfits that repair these newer dashs. Of course that would keep the tractor down a couple of weeks which is not a good scenario.

Farmtronics for Canadians.

Yes, I know about them. They are probably the ones who also broke my cluster.
I had mine sent to farmtronics for a repair last fall (background lights died). I got it back and installed cluster and it started glitching. I figured loose wire. Tried messing with harnesses, etc. No help.
Then it finally went black for good yesterday.

To buy the reman cluster for $1,800, you have to give them your core, so I can’t send it back to them unless I want to wait. I was also told some glitches cannot be fixed.

I really don’t want to wait for a long period of time, and the tractor was unmovable.

It would be. Not sure where I posted this before but he just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Several weeks ago he called about running equipment as it is go time on corn and haylage. It didn’t work out but wanted to as he had gotten better and bigger equipment and wanted to try out their newer merger.

The stories I could tell you…………….


Let’s just say many years ago, way before he was as big as he is now another farmer and I talked about it was only a matter of time before he killed someone due to how equipment was kept and ran. It happened.

Tried to jam in some mowing on a cool, overcast day. Couldn’t bale hay, so grabbed mowing tractor and knocked out a few fields. Here’s a “driving range” I cut for a Customer.

Steep part is surprisingly steep. Uphill tires feel very light.
This might be my scariest one.

Headed home…..
