Around 2 months on this machine and it's all finished. We definitely had our work cutout for us on this one but it came out awesome. It was a big learning experience but I'm ready to get to the next one.

Today we hooked up the 4wd hoses and were able to get the final connectors for the wiring. We were able to run the machine and engage the separator! Everything ran smooth and no leaks. Now just a waiting game for the rear axle which we still haven't been given a date yet....

My buggy guys have it hard, it came with a roll tarp, we just made it better. If the remote messes up there is a push pad. If the motor messes up you just unhook one bolt. All our trailers have them why not a grain cart

1 year ago today this burnt S780 showed up. Many negative comments were said about this also saying it would never run or make it a season. 2 1/2 long months of work and it was ready for the fields. It had its few quirks but we worked them out and turned out to be a great machine
