I HATE bad breakdowns. Hope you get it going again for less than you estimate.

I never had to, but, picking corn by hand. Walking behind a team of mules. Wire checking corn. We have it good in 2023.

I helped pick corn by had a few times. The man we worked for drove the tractor, pulling a trailer. 3 or us would pull 6 rows at a time. 2 on the right, 2 on the left, and 2 in the middle that the tractor and trailer had knocked down. We'd swap up at the end of each end of the field, so one fellow didn't have to do all the stooping. It wasn't too bad for the first few hours, but if it got hot in the afternoon, it got miserable.
I know this isn't a mechanical breakdown, but....

I’ve never been around a side hill machine. I’ve always thought they looked pretty awesome from pictures I’ve seen. I’m pretty content just farming on the flat.

Isn’t there a local outfit that can fab a new cylinder to spec? I had to replace one on the excavator, and the manufacturer’s cylinder was a good bit more expensive than having one custom made.

No not really It’s got a casting on the head that mounts it and it can pivot on that not an advrage cylinder. We do have a fab shop that does that kind of work They are capable but they are Azz holes Aragent and used only for last resort I ended up finding a new one for 2200 Dollars

They still make sidehill combines? Those things are cool af.
Oh wait. It looks like just the header leans with the hill and not the whole combine like in the old days?

I was in a New Holland/Ford dealership, buying parts a couple months ago, and a fellow came in to buy a filter for a combine. You could tell that he was not happy camper. Fellow behind the counter knew the guy and asked him, 'Why do you want this filter?". The guy said he had to get an old combine running, because that "million dollar green pos wont stay running". He went on to say the JD techs/mechanics were working on it in the field and they couldn't keep it running but as soon as they got it cranked again, he was sending it back to JD.
After the fellow left, I asked the man behind the counter if a combine really cost a million dollars and he said JD has one that does. Now that's a breakdown when it wont run.

The big worry is the thing may blow an engine or hydrostat any time they are a time bomb But with corn prices going down atmd inputs still too high there is no chance of a new machine A 1000 acre farmer just can’t swing it
