The guy that cuts the hay at my place broke his JD 6300. This is the second time he has had this happened to him this year. He pulls the bailer with the 6300. It has 4 wheel drive and what has been happening is that grass gets wound up around the drive shaft for the front axle until it has so much grass around the shaft that it breaks the oil filter for the transmission off. Very poor design. I spent about an hour the other day just cutting the hay off the shaft and still have more to do. Grass was wedged in so tight between the shaft and bottom of the frame that I had to disconnect the drive shaft from the front axle. Pile on the ground is what I have removed so far. Just trying to help the guy out. Think it needs some sort of belly shield.
