So we have been really busy at work gearing up for harvest. So that means a lot of service calls (mainly in Canada) to check out machines and make sure they are ready to go.
Back at the shop I have been doing a bunch of PDIs (Pre-Delivery Inspections) on brand new harvesters. The big thing when doing a PDI is to, like Jeff has been talking about, always carry a flashlight and go over the entire machine. When you are checking the fluid levels, greasing the machine and such you always keep a eye out for anything that is out of the ordinary. It is amazing some of the stuff that makes it past the factory QC guys...
Just the other day I started a PDI on a older machine that we took on a trade. It was interesting to do so after working on new harvesters and now getting to see how all the ware parts look after several years in service. Those machines can really take a beating!
