We are a third generation grain farm in northern Alberta. We raise 5 types of crops: barley, wheat, peas, oats and canola on 2500 acres. My wife and I work along side my mom and dad and involve our young children as much as possible. Follow along for our adventures.
John Deere 4440 SCV rebuild.
After attempting the first SCV with no luck I called John Deere for some advice and decide to take it in.
The initial bill was over $2000 and I thought was totally out to lunch as you need about $400 in parts and a few hours labour. Armed with two days of research and 4 new valves I attempted the second SCV myself to see how long it would actually take and after 20-30 extra minutes trying to smooth out where the valve seats we had success. about 2.5 hours from removal to install and we had a function SCV.
HAS JOHN DEERE LOST TOUCH WITH THIER BILLING PRACTICES?

Quick week recap. New sprayer nozzles.
farmers garage collective - look for a garage building, lease it and hire a mechanic.
O-rings, valve honing and some set screw adjustments. perhaps barter will get you a better deal than this fake money
My 4630 will lift loader on its own too need to rebuild them. I try to stay away from the dealerships it’s ridiculous what they charge
I can’t believe how complicated those scv’s are. I’ve never seen anything like it and I’ve owned a Deere. Thought my new scv was pricey at $300 a valve, but I just take a wrench, spin it off and spin on a new one for the old Kubota.
Is your bum sore? Quite a pounding you took there.
Now that's cool 6yrs old, my kids are grown but I was a mechanic and I showed them how to work on engines and I was always proud when they can do stuff their self.
Yeah buddy is a pretty good operator, very cautious and aware
Wiring is easy. When it welds. It’s not right. lol.
That’s good one. There was definitely some instant heat
Harvest is not done till you throw your hat in the feeder house and watch it come out the back, then go to town and get a new one . At least that's what I was told when I went west back in the early 80's
I have seen a few guys on the internet do that. My luck it would wreck something or plug the whole machine.
Crazy. I was 14 before I ran a combine. But that was the first year we had a self propelled again since i was about 3. Dad had bought a pull type around then. It was around here until 2002. Took it to a sale and it sold for 500 bucks.
Buddy likes to be helpful
@millionairefarmer. I would of been out there much earlier but I wasn't allowed. I rode out there as much as I could. Started mowing lawn when i was 5 or 6. Drove a tractor on my own at 9. Started working in the field at 11 a head of the seed drill. Got my own disc and cultivator when I was 12. Just never combined until I was 14 lol.
That frost burnt our garden right off. Everything
Wow that’s crazy
Good morning. 1/4 inch over night. Still have canola to take off. Got 9 hours of combining in yesterday.
Nice to see young people learning and not sitting in a corner playing with their electronics
They do a bit on the iPads for sure, but they are helpful for their age
Nice to hear about ya Parents...First crop....Forty Second Crop.... Mine was 1983 also... Had a poor canola crop like 5 bu. an acre Polish Canola.. Drowned out on new breaking ... But the Price I got for it was $8.67 bu.. Cargill.. This year not new breaking but new discing some did 50bu/acre RR on new first year crop land... But only in the Peace... (2024) $11.93 canola the Cargill price that harvest day!!!!! I gained $3.26/bushel in 41 years... But in the fall of 1984 bought a new tractor so was FARMER smitten with the forty years ago crop it was much much better...
Buy that boy 2 quarters of ground!!!
Boy it’s Getting harder and harder to do that
Still on peas, still too damn tough. These showers can frick right off. Breakdown on the only two nice days didn’t help last week or we’d have been on straight cut oats and be finishing up. Way it goes. Moved a pile of greenfeed today though and been building corrals and got two feet of gravel in the new shed. Get the grain when it’s ready.
Good eavening Robin
@@bcpfarmandtrucking6560 evening sir. You getting the heat?
We will hopefully be done combining tomorrow night aftwr supper , gotta chew through thr last bit of green canola haha
@@damonens9478 nice 👍
You farm near hythe ?
@@Northerndiesel88 I do yeah
Nice . I help out Pete and Allen sometimes thought I recognized your equipment
Never ask how a flexicoil does what it does. They just do it and they do it well best drill ever made
@@bradenconway9066 they are pretty good units, no doubt about that
The farmers HIGH... Good deal Robin yer all done harvesting... Hook somewhat closer?? to the skid?? will pull up slightly and not drag topsoil dirt.. Must have had good rains... Built 2 bigger bins and storage maxed... our canola also surprising running pretty good.. For swath size... About time at the returns/truckload ya need yield... Now I know how Europe can grow most times big yielding crops..Rains/Inputs match and Maybe... Better varieties but did why it take so long at $$$$700.00+ a bag compared to $11.50 Bu. delivered in 2024 to get to the Peace Country..
@@davemurphy2774 oh yes very exciting to be done
Finished up our 2024 harvest yesterday, now onto the bosses son’s barely… that’s still green. Starting to turn now but it’s lookin far out still. We’re down here in central Alberta. Our 70ac of canola ran 35bu, peas about the same. Hard red wheat ran 38, soft white did 45(was on our best ground). That heat really hit hard, our corn looks like crap as well. Most of second cut hay is just hitting it to have a fresh start in the spring. Won’t make barely any bales. Enjoy seeing videos from another Albertan.
@@Cayman306 wow that’s rough for the cereals. Most canola suffered so I guess 35 isn’t all that bad. Lots of sprouted canola around I guess.
@@millionairefarmer. ohhh ya it was one of those it looks like a hell of a crop from the road. But once it’s in the bin it did not fair so well. Insurance will be topping us off too average. So will help cover costs. Honestly haven’t checked for sprouted in ours. But haven’t heard of it around here yet. Our is on the bigger seed size thought. Big difference from 22 and 23 crops. Lost some canola do to some operator miss communications. Had the kids running our Massey 8680 dropping straw and the cylinder speed slowly climbs in her. So by the time I’d thought to ensure they knew, they’d done 20ac. Cylinder was maxed out just crushing seeds. I was wondering how they were passing me in the 9860sts lol. It sucks but lessons learned, kids also get a pretty good talking to about watching things from their grandpa/boss.
@@Cayman306 I was saying the same thing this year, by the time I get trucks moved they have got 20-30 acres done. I just hope someone is checking.
In the bin 2024. Good Stuff. Thanks for sharing
@@gilreynolds9282 so nice to be done and have the time to do some cleaning and maintenance befor the snow flies
@@millionairefarmer. Well you have lots of warm days to get “er done”.
The corn growers call air seeders a controlled spill.
@@randykovalenko1236 oh man that’s funny. I’m using that
You produce the data, you should own it; sell it if you want to. (monopoly corporate/government partnership; they don't need voting anymore they measure sentiment minute by minute on your phone - and so chose the corporate partner policy you like least worst)
great harvest for you - congrats!
In your unique region, if all your neighbours collected your own data you could probably sell it for a lot of money (replace Upload to the Cloud (needed only for mobile phones) with onboard solid state Db with a thumb drive port. Use Linux.)
@@MichaelHolloway that’s way beyond me
I'm glad you can articulate those thoughts so well Robin. I have many of the same views but can't put them into a coherent train of thought. The usda really annoys me .....😡
@@burrridgefarms I’m not a big fan of giving out all thar info for nothing
I think the seed treatment gums up bridges the seed a bit. Then back to normal.
@@wallyyuriy8912 oh that’s very possible. I am thinking of buying those special roller segments for canola
@@millionairefarmer.I just have drill gravity fed drill. I noticed had few plugged runs at the roller meter cause it’s gummed with seed treatment
Hopefully we will be done in a week, been crunching through green canola straw and plugged choppers hahs
@@damonens9478 gross, is the canola sprouted down there too
@@millionairefarmer. eh. Some parts. Mostly cause we didn't spray most of our canola.
@millionairefarmer. and 19 degree days no real heay
That new app is a joke...... Non sense direct
@@kentonleriger8288 wonder why they decided more complicated was better
Congratulations , you're early this year. We've just finished seeding canola over here. Do you plant hybrid varieties? Greetings from Germany 🚜🌾🌞
@@michaelhollmann8353 we do grow some hybrids. We don’t get to carried away with the latest and greatest though. We tend to let the big guys experience that heart ache/ head ache first
@@millionairefarmer. Thanks, we modified a corn planter in 2017 to save money on canola seed and go down to around 30 plants/m². And then we started to plant hybrid canola for a local seedgrower (2 male rows one empty row and 13 female rows) they said it was for the canadian market as around here everyone grows winter canola .
I know you have a seedmaster toolbar, look into the seedmaster on frame tank, ultra pro or ultra pro II. Canola metering is second to none. We lowered our seeding rate by 30% from what the bag recommends, still seeing 6-8plants per sq/ft. It is deadly accurate in all crops. Then you can use your flexi-coil tank straight for fertilizer, getting more acres per fill.
Thanks, I will Look into that. Might be a better option then buying different meters
I don’t get those misses with my box drills.
Yeah the box drill were pretty good.
Congrats on your harvest. I enjoy your videos,
Thank you Darrell. Glad you like the videos. It’s nice to be done so early
Them bin sense sensors would be coming out in a hurry. That’s bull 💩. Way overstepping their business there I think.
It’s wild how much information you can put into them. But it is nice to know the bin isn’t 50 degrees inside the middle also.
@@millionairefarmer. I shove rods in. Lol. 😆
Hahahaha, fvck, I’m still on the first field of combining. Maybe finish that up today finally. Glad you’re done. 👍🍻
The big farmer by me is just wrapping up peas too, so I don’t feel too behind.
Still early buddy
@@millionairefarmer. I’m not worried. Greenfeed is about done, close to 900 bales on 140 acres. Barley was only running 5 bales an acre. 90 acres of oats to straight cut once the weather is nice again. We’ll wrap up quick without much for breakdowns.
@@chadtosh6831 good deal
Glad to see the year was better that it potentially looked in July, congratulations on finishing
I noticed sprouts in the canola before it was swathed…… and the straight cut we just harvested is at 11% sprouts
I wonder if when the canola was combined very dry or batch dried good it would change the sprouting look from being tossed around with dryer seeds!
I am you dodged the sprouting deduction
I keep saying people aren't hungry enough... elevators, markets, processors always have some excuse or "speculation" for things to dock. About like the ergot issues in 2018 and '19... lost money on that wheat. Held back about 5000 bushels for 3 years and sold it, and hardly anything docked even with the ergot. It's a horses ass either way lol
Pretty hard to degrade canola. Unless it heats. Or green count
Apparently sprouted will do it too
@@millionairefarmer. yes. September of 2019 we got over a foot of rain. Sprouted canola some. Still made a #1
Good morning. Still chewing on barley over here. Hopefully we'll have a good run this week and get some canola hammered off as well
There’s a win. Nice to have a crop turn out. Hoping to start combining by tomorrow, maybe finish off these peas finally. 🤷♂️. Should hopefully make a big dent in greenfeed baling today.
Good morning Robin ☕️☕️👍
With the ditch canola, you've just discovered no till and cover cropping lol. We've been playing with notill recently and just had our first wheat crop the averaged over 100 across a section
Awesome. I think I want to put a quarter to clover like my buddy Chad says. My dad says they used to do it all the time.
@@millionairefarmer. people always used to say we were too far north for no till but it seems to be working good. Not religious about it like if we make ruts at harvest we'll cultivate but if we have no reason to till anymore we won't
Heat got all of us this year, im in SE Alberta and im cutting canola now that’s going between 15-20bpa, has a stand for at least 40 but didnt fill in the heat in july
Yeah that happening around here to. Some guys got a shower other didn’t
Here dry years are common (2023) also not so much this year NW Alberta but hot stretch in July was not good.. Pays to add insecticide spray for Bugs LYGUS on the second pass of Liberty or Glyphosate for a don't always know yet??? dry year helps save a few bushels in the end. My 902 DeKalb is yielding way better than the L 340 this year was (side by side) and easier to swath harvest although the stands were both great. 902 Took less acres to fill the combine tank. Puzzled... Grow many acres of canola on canola... Going to try more RR on RR canola next year if I can get 2 crops in soil of volunteers harrowing to sprout this fall and next spring before seeding.. Falls seem to be getting earlier harvest and stay warmer longer and with a rain?? so will see...
I average time for a light frost is sept 10. Occasionally it can make it to end sept
The year i got married it almost froze 3rd week of July
That's a sharp 9610
She’s a pretty good unit for sure
Proving that yield is 90% determined by land quality and weather every year. Thanks for being realistic with yeilds. My wheat made around 35 on solonetzic land east of Edmonton which is not bad considering the year but a bit disappointing nonetheless.. First we had a flood in May and June followed by a drought in early July. Maybe you need to start measuring in Hutterite bushels. That will improve the yield.
Oddly enough as they finished that 190acres the canola ended up running a shade under 40. It’s been a very strange year up here. Some tremendous crops followed by some right offs
do you fallow fields in rotation up there?
We haven’t for a few years seeding has been early and pretty decent conditions for the last number of years
buddy says heat - the change this year is lower light levels due to forest fire soot dust. dust = lower light and more rain.
for you, where you are, just lower light. :)
Lower light possible. one year we had smoke like crazy that ruined things too
with 'impression evidence' your guessing - too many variables for that; use IT to make real time data sets linked to geolocation data. Add soil sample results, metrological data and yield data too. science rather than craft.
Hard to get all the machines to line up for that most guys can tell with their eyes if things are better or not.
what does 'sprouted canola' mean? - it flowered, seeded, and sprouted? or did it clone tuber and re-sprout? ???? :)
So molasses acts as a catalyst to release beneficial elements that are inaccessible without it. Ask your agronomist what is getting catalyzed. Bet you they have no idea. We are so far from understanding the biosphere it's laughable.
We have certainly switched over to an intense fertilizer program that seems to only produce what you add. I would like to start adding a little more then I’m taking
