Walnut Grove MN USA
The equipment is getting to complicated for part time help. We had a grain cart driver accidentally hit the hyd switch on an 8100 to fold the auger up when going down a very rough field road with the timer set to just touch the switch and it would fold up. Auger came up and into a tree at about 10 mph on a new Brent 880. $6200 damage. I have to explain how to operate the combine every time somebody gets in it because the the switches are labeled with those stupid figures that nobody can figure out and spread out all over the cab. Maybe it is the people too because some just don't grasp more than two steps to do something.
