We found the little Bobcat capable of getting through the work of much bigger machines with the added ability to work in tight spaces with consummate ease.
Peter Thomas Keaveney met with an expert forage harvester mechanic who ran though the main points that need to be checked on a harvester when there is some downtime.

With the weather set to be fair for the foreseeable future, machines will be busy around the country. With the warm weather, it is very important to stay on top of machine maintenance and cleanliness.
Another issue of the good weather is personal safety. Whether it is the risk of sunburn or dehydration, it is very important to keep hydrated and sun creamed even if you think you will spend all day in your nice air-conditioned cab but in the case of a breakdown this may not be the case.
