Nice to see your still running the inspiration for the x9 big Jon. Maybe next year you can give the new track setup a real challenge but let's be honest I'd take a dry harvest over muddy harvest. Keep living the good life Jon.
Make sure the grease escape hole is clean. Then get someone to pump grease on the 2 zerks on the side until clean grease comes out the hole. Then 2 pumps per day both ends of both bearings. I went 3000hrs on original bearings with that advice.
Maiden voyage with the new tracks must have been a major relief! Just in time for harvest too. Is it worthwhile to replace both of those rotor bearings at the same time if one goes bad? Like replacing car light bulbs in pairs. But then I saw the other comment about upgraded bearing is "$2,600" and that's a lot of beans so one at a time might work out (but monitor the older bearing)...
Good to hear positive on the tracks they look great congratulations

Ha yep!
Spot on, dry is fast and boring.
We have a wet soybean season and I will have a lot of acres custom to do?!
Had that rotor back in so fast. I didn't even have to hold my mouth just right. Good job.
Ha! Thanks

Wow that's good.
What a year of extremes for weather. Well…….the good part is next year will be different!
@@timpingel9607 that's a very farmer thing to say. LOL we always have next year
Creep speed of the CVT was perfect for this job.
@M8Stealth oh my gosh, cvt and a loader, and a cvt in general is just great.
I don't understand how cvf isn't standard for every high hp tractor.

Treat all bearings like a 10hr fitting and your lexion days go better. New 8700 has autolube set on max output.
@@Farmerknowsbest well put, grease is cheap..
I told Rich when you ordered the bearings to sell you the longer life bearing kit for $2600.
Ha yep.
Is that where the rotor has to be sent to zrc?
I can't remember if the rotor has to be sent to zrc. It's been a while since I sold a kit.
I will have to look into it some more.
Did you guys get any snow from the storm that went through?
Yes we did. At the end of the day there is easily 3 inches accumulated on stuff
You guys?
@ not a flake over here but i don’t think we have to go too far east to find a little. Were you able to finish beans before the snow?
@mn-1381 yes. Others did not. If play time it right they might have made a good bushel increase with the moisture
Are these the beans you sprayed with the drone?
@rondavis2791 no, did a foliar feed on them.
