i was getting a load of grain and looked back to assure that it wasn't about to flow over the side of the buggy. what looked like a mist or small stream like flow of water. no problem right? wrong, my hydrolic hose had busted. i turned off the engine and got off the tractor.(the best john deere ever made) went to the hose finding that it was shredded at the left end right where the cap the hooks the hose to the ogger. i know you are thinking why didn't you just leave it? i can't, it was hooked right to the piece of equitement that allowed me to empty my grain into the trucks to be halled to a sillow where it would be stored. so while my coworkers combine unloaded at a stand still for his header was jammed. we ended up taking a thirty minute trip to a hose shop then a trip back and two hours replacing the original hose with the new hose. we later realised that i had hit a three foot hole which made the ogger move unnaturally causing the hose to burst. in the end my face and clothes had hydrolic oil all over.(if you are wondering my clothes where stained so bad the even when we bleached then the grease didn't come out, so we threw them out.) so have a dirty jobs day cause it's all in a days work!!!!!
