[QUOTE="damengineer, post: 1696490, member: 24810"] My grass is played out. I still have about 50 acres to cut in between Cedars, Bois D'arc and Hackberry trees. My good knee decided to flare up and not let me put any weight on it, so sorting cattle is almost out of the question. Still have 40 head to get rid of. Last week I rebuilt the entire cutterbar on the swather, I would go cut, and break down, go back and bale 4 bales. A lot of old grass in with the new, so just bale as soon as possible. Rain chances every evening anyhow. for 4 days cut, break down and bale 4 bales. finally took 3 days to get cutterbar rebuilt, I work slow. Went back out to cut. New cutterbar worked great, pitman shaft broke, 4 bales again...!!!! Found another pitman, but it was for a 14 ft so had to cut and weld for the 16ft. A little long, so had to spend a coulpe hours to get it to register. By that time it started raining... Trying to cut today when dew is off... Maybe will get more than 4 bales cut today. [/QUOTE]
