  2. Tractors DEF Fluid setups

    Having a problem getting my WM Drain software to calibrate with my new ditcher on my MX240 When I run the calibration process, it raises and lowers the ditcher as it should to the full range, which is about a foot, and then gives me an error message that it has insufficient travel to calibrate...

  9. Trimble FMX number of data points

    New to a Trimble FMX this spring. In my settings I have it set to record topo data points every 10 feet, but when reviewing the raw data after it is only every 50 feet or so that it recorded the data. Did I miss a different setting somewhere? Also, when I upload a file afterwards with a...

    Just fired up a combine after its winter rest. Oil pressure light and beeper in cab stay on sometimes. Oil pressure is good with a gauge, replaced with a new sending unit. Checked and cleaned all harness connections going into cab. Still on most of the times we fire it up. Anybody with some...
  17. Tractors Advise/Tips needed on baling wheat straw behind combine

    My experience would say you are going to have trouble. We had R7 R72's and pretty much gave up letting anyone try to bale since no one could do a good job. too finely ground up, too compact of row after being driven down into the ground. I can only imagine how dry your straw would be at...
