New to a 1660 combine, own one on shares. Does it matter if you run with the unload auger out all the time. The other owner seems to think it's OK to run with auger OUT all the time. We don't unload on the go, so I see no need. It seems like and accident waiting to happen to me. What does everyone here do?

Never really a good idea.....I think you're right a) it's an accident waiting to happen and b) I think the bouncing and swaying from weight can only hurt the elbow and eventually the gearbox.

And when you really think about it.....it's not really hard work to put it back in the saddle.

Just my 2 cents
