Hi all, I found an all crop 60 from a farm for cheap, but i think my gates are too small to allow it to pass through. If I where to take off the grain table would it be able to pass? How wide is the wheel base on one of these? |

It would be more cost effective to widen the gates... ------------- Source: Babylon Bee. Sponsored by BRAWNDO, its got what you need! |

| The area I’d like a harvest on just recently got new wooden posts cemented into the ground, I wish I could, I’d rather not dig up the soil to replace them and get bigger gates |

| If you have a gate that is wide enough (but just barely), you'll have better luck backing the combine through it. The "Gate Post" pulley on the right is usually the first thing that gets destroyed. |

Lower right as viewed from the back...
You could make a poor man's gate, by removing 1 post, and adding a dummy post, staple the wire, make a loop of wire at the bottom and one at the top, to hold the dummy post... https://youtu.be/pALEebj1GTg?si=jvd9yalnPmTKa77o" rel="nofollow - https://youtu.be/pALEebj1GTg?si=jvd9yalnPmTKa77o ------------- Source: Babylon Bee.

If you want too just BECAUSE. You could take the combine apart into how ever small of pieces, so you could hand carry it through. But if you might wish to harvest a crop in that field again make a gate that is wide enough for practical machinery. You can thank me when you are done harvesting and want to drive it out of the field to the shed.

Why not remove a section of fence? Drop the wire off a couple of the fence posts, pull one or two fence posts out, and drive over the wire laying on the ground, reinstall the posts, reattached the wire. ------------- I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science. |

You have some measuring to do before anything. Then you will know what your options are. I'd saw off one side and make a new opening wide enough to pass through. Sounds like you don't want to do what's needed. New post would be a whole lot less trouble than disassembling combine.

| Is the combine itself too wide or the combine when hooked to the tractor too wide? |

| To answer your original question, no. Taking the header off won't narrow it up any on a model "60", as the straw walker area is just as wide as the cutterbar, if I remember right. Even if it made a difference, those headers aren't easy to remove, drag thru the gate (how ??) and that reinstall on the combine, and in the field would be even more difficult. If the combine itself can be worked thru the gate, fabricate an offset front drawbar on the tractor and push it thru. |
