2rr, Your welcome. No problem. I don't really have a problem with John Deere equipment, just some John Deere users and dealers that rub me the wrong way sometimes. I own and use some JD stuff and it works Okay, but not any better than anything else on my farm. Just can't see how some people can say that one company can build the best in every piece of equipmentIJ Ilnh

I know what you mean. We have a 535 JD baler and it has been very reliable for many years. We like it a lot. I don't really have a problem with things like that. My biggest problem is their engines and quality of materials and designs. They still think those augers they use for a grain pan are the real deal. Things like that I just shake my head. I've heard what they are like to get to the bearings, especially on the STS. Also, does'nt an auger leave a pretty concentrated row. Doesn't seem very even distribution to the cleaning seives but whatever.
