thanks for the suggestions, I am in central alberta, crop is approx 10% done, usually 70-90% by now. late wet fall with very high yields turning into feed quality. I am waiting for the insurance adjuster to look at the machine (feedhouse is bent, back of rotor (seperator fin I thinkIJ) is broken, concave extension bent, beater shaft looks bent). It looks worse than I initially thought so I am looking for another machine. Possibly go to a MF 860 so I can bale the straw and offset some of the cost. Thanks for the info
