there are some things to watch for. I'm on season n 5-- 850 sep hours. Watch vertical unloader drive gears and lower bearing. There is an unmarked grease zerk in there and it's had to see. My gears piled up and so did the bearing which wasn't greased because I didn't know about the zerk. it's under the lower shield behind the crown gear. maintain rear converyor belt tension and make sure you don't get too much 'trash' inside it. They do fail. There are other small things to watch for-- if interested email me @ ctoerper@hotmail.com Settings vary according to conditions as all combines-- but Grains like barley and longstraw crops can be a challenge for walker loss at times. But if things are good you have a very big machine.
