Peng, you don't understand. Murphy's law has a new corrolary: Any website being run by a farmer will go down during his harvest and planting time. I don't have the knowledge to do a site like this either. My site is an experiment only, being run on a computer put together from scraps, just to see if I could do it. Kind of like that remote swing hopper in the videos, only that makes a lot more sense for an old dirt farmer to be messing with. The vids these guys are talking about are of my D21 on a 13" auger. Swing hopper is hydraulicly powered and controlled by a key-fob remote that I carry with me so I don't have to climb in and out of the tractor about a dozen times _ trip. Remote also turns the D21 on and off, and starts it. Apologize for the slow speed that the Gleaner is moving in the cutting clips. My son Wane is driving it and he babies it a bit more than the old man does. When I'm driving, that old Cummins really sits up and growls. Ed in Montana

Oh well it was worth a try. Did you salvage remote starts from junk yards IJ No remote starts in Oz unfortunately. Do you get snowed in to be able to tinker IJ We work all year round here cause of meditteranean climate .Winter _summer crops and livestock. So rainy workshop days we love but last 10 years have been below average rainfall so not so much tinkering . Should'nt you be telling him to slow down IJ Isn't it suppose to be that way around IJ Ah well lucky we have Gleaners .

No Med. climate here in the cold country. lots of city folks install remote starts on their cars, so they can walk over to the office window 15 minutes before quitting time and start their vehicle, so they have a warm interior when it's time to leave. Some remotes will even automatically start the car at intervals throughout the day, so it never cools off. I bought the remote for the auger new though. Car starters don't have the bells and whistles needed to start a diesel tractor and move a swing hopper. Short farming season here, so I have time to tinker in the fall and early spring. My big shop is unheated and too cold to use in the winters, so I have time to dream up goofy stuff to make and spend money on. Take care and have a safe harvest. Best wishes for a bountiful one too.
