  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

No, No, Susquatch you are looking at combines all wrong. They are glorious machines designed by a demented engineer. They somehow suspend a bolt in mid air then build a big thrashing machine around this bolt, that later the nut falls off halting production. You then have to tear apart most of the machine to get at said bolt. All this and more, nowadays you get to spend close to a million bucks for one of these grain harvesters. If your lucky it's only sensor that went bad, stopping production and a call to the dealer to send out a tech guy with a laptop to diagnose and maybe order the part you need, much to expensive to keep sensors in stock. Oh ya the service tech is on the clock at $150 an hour.

Oh was that a bit of a rant and major derail? Sorry to all. Glad i'm retired and only deal with cows now.

Ha ha I had an uncle that always blamed the design problems of combines (or any farm machinery) on "college boys" . He was certain that some of the design issues was the result of a lack of common sense and real life experience that could only come from a newly graduated "college boy".
