Over 50 years ago when a local business closed its grain operation, one of the employees gave Dad the manual test weight kit- a brass cup which is held up by a hook on the end of a lever. you hold the whole mechanism up with an attached ring with one hand. The lever has scale numbers on it and a movable counterweight. Move the counterweight until the level is balanced, look at the scale number and that is your test test weight. I've used it every year and it is quite accurate.
With regards to coming out of the grain shack and stepping in front of a semi, you really should put a 6-10ft long guardrail 3 ft out from the door (edge of concrete pad? I forget if there's concrete there.) At least if you stepped out, you'd consciously have to be observant and step around it. Would also provide a buffer if grandkids went busting out the door unexpectantly.
Chomps are grass fed. That's good for your bottom line Cornstars as corn is a grass. Great news that the weather was fantastic for yor harvest. My farm had a total loss after 42+ inches in three weeks back in late April/early May. Not only did seeds and yiund plants rotted, eventually heavy flooding washed away valuable top soil. My uncle said he'd rather have a three-year drought than a devestating flood. He was right.
DC I ALWAYS enjoy it when you fire up the Oliver's engine. Definitely not the sound that most people would come from a tractor. Hold on to you're crops for a better price. The people who set the prices make a lot of money buying at low prices the sell later. Happening every year that farmers have a good harvest. Love watching your videos and the way they are edited.
Chomps truly are ‘allergy friendly’. I certainly speak from experience. Other stick meat, and a few jerky brands, have given me hives and much worse. Some have been so bad that they’ve given me painful gastrointestinal upset within 20 minutes of consumption. Bad reaction, driving in the dead of night, on Rte 10 through southern Arizona. Suffered horrible cramping for about 40 minutes, and thankfully came upon a rest stop. It was a quick sprint to the restroom to spend 20 minutes ‘working through my issues’. Won’t eat any jerky or stick meat other than Chomps! Thank you, Cole & DCS for recommending them.
You have three grain hopper trailers with 6 500 bushel hoppers. Load all three trailers- Take a phone and set 22 minutes- Let’s see and use all 22 minutes to unload 3 trailers. If that pit can’t handle 3 trucks in 22 minutes, then I would have the facts and video proof, under engineered. Here in Farnam, NE, the three grain bins are 325k bushel each. They have a man helping at the two pits, keeping the drivers from opening the truck hopper gates over approximately 4”. You can imagine why. 7 minutes per truck.
Squeeze, after 3 years somebody needs to add a secondary chute full length of the pit with about 1” metering slot over that auger, the have at it, dump the whole truck in 30 seconds. Hell your old ford stake bed can dump 4 tones in 5 seconds. Use it to move 300 bushel dumped in 5 seconds- Laura Farms we’re directed directly to the open air storage so they could dump 300 bushel in 5 seconds.
Daddy Cornstar Slow the gear ratio in the pit..slow cross auger down. Yes this will increase the torque but you have a 12hp so your good. For now keep the lift auger to the leg the same. Gear down until it works(the lift auger gives the pit its speed. Mr MF never has this issue. 4.5 to 5.5min to empty full pit. Just my 2 cents
I gotten chomps at Aldi's. Icartcart them right to the field, shop or house. Yes I had an order before for all the things to make sandwiches and chomps to a field from Aldi's. Lol
I wish I was closer to the Heartland because I'd bring you a bushel tester. It's nothing special, just a hanging scale with a pint cup and a striker to make it flat. I have beyond years dealing with undersized elevators/augers. Must say that I'm so jealous at having a grain vac to just suck it up. We always used grain scoops and big poly bags which suck. It's sad how long the legal system takes because instead of repairing it's all put off and if you don't get anything it may be something that could have been fixed in time instead of having to just redo it. But such is life is weird America sometimes.
Man, your "mooning" joke sure took me back to my high-school days. It was quite the thing at the time. I think it's about time to call in a different silo servicing company to help solve some of the "operational" issues so you can finish the harvest.
Great show, DC ! 👍 I hope that clog in the binsite was just a little glitch and not the beginning of something more serious with that whole contraption. 🤞
Test weight manual is cheap, easy. $30 to $$$$. Bought at auction $10. A decent accurate small scale, small container you could make one. But they are cheap. I bet you get sent 5 before December.
This year corn costs 4.20 a bushel to plant, care and harvest (diesel/fertilizer, weed agents etc), co-op is paying 3.80 a bushel. If you can't store it for a higher price later, you take the loss. Most people don't understand the loss in the good year, when everyone has a good year, can really beat you down. Plus your time ends up being unpaid, and you still have to pay for the equipment you are leasing or have loans on. It can be brutal.
So true, Biden/Harris needed gasoline, ethanol kept low for election year. So these bastards cost DC hundreds of thousands of dollars. Yet he’s fixated on the grain elevator sub contractor. Every time he bitches in public, a little more hurt in Coles eyes. I know my Dad loved to find fault when I took over the business management.
Good explanation!👍 For the consumer, the over all great harvest means low prices since the world market is flooded by grain this harvest season. For the producer, it also means low prices= low income. The problem for the producer( for ex the Cornstars) is that in the beginning of this season prices on seed, fertilizers, fuel were higher than what the prices on their finish product (the grain)is now at the end of the season. They end up in debt...😮
consider 4 4 inch augurs that feed to the center length wise on the pit and about half way down the pit with half covers over them to control the flow of corn into the augurs.. they are to be activated by a pressure switch when the center of the pitis almost empty. when the is empty another pressure switch to turn them off. each time they must be rest to work another cycle. if the augur at the bottom of the pit does not have a cover to control the flow into it, put one on and install a pressure switch so it only runs when the center of the pit is about empty. the feed from the bottom augur should be less than the unload augur.
Hard market of supply and demand, the vast majority of US corn is consumed locally, but it is the 15% or so export portion that dictates the price. With other areas actively increasing volumes and those places having lower input costs added to growing geopolitical hostilities, the market place is becoming a real headache for producers. Without those Silos it would be rain on the scarecrow.
Even though the fact is Cole acted as his own general contractor and signed off on all plans, change orders and work completion inspections? Had Cole hired someone who knew what they were doing they'd maybe have a case.
@@benhur520 yep there’s the one key thing no general contractor. Amd I can almost bet they signed a contract and that said contract will protect the bin company and they be SOL. I mean look at all the other RUclips stars they have new bins built and no issues and they don’t help it all on the bin company. Big guess here but they tried to save money and it’s biting them back
Has anyone opened up the elevator leg, and with a strobe light looked at the buckets, are they full or filled evenly. The light will make it seem as it was standing still. As I stated in previous comments the pit is a nightmare. Without a movable slide to regulate the flow I don't think the pit will be ever as efficient as you want, when you want to feed from both directions.
You made a funny D/C.You showed us Elmer the Truck and then called Elmer a she.When you said she's full. Made me laugh. No gender crisis on the farm ! 😂 😅
IT is terrible that your still struggling with the grain site , I hope its delt with soon and these people that built it are never allowed to build them ever again
Yeah, all these corn star channels are is begging for money channels. It doesn't matter which one you look at. They're always whining and complaining about something complaining, about a pet, and this one when his grain bands were full over a week ago in a video. Why would you be using the pet now? If your grain bends are full Then we have Cole begging for money. But yet he's building a huge theater room. That's bigger than most multi-millionaires have Both call and daddy corn star are nothing but jokes.@@rustblade5021
You should put a mirror on a long pole to see inside the trucks bin instead of climbing the ladder and have magnets on it so you just attach it by the ladder… oh wait maybe I should invent one … naw its all yours
I tried chomps, let em tell you. The turkey is probably the second worst meat/meat stick I have ever had. Absolutely horribly Dreadful. The beef flavors are bland, undersalted. They are also super expensive, at least where I live. Like, 4$ per stick. considering they only weigh a few ounces, its cheaper for me to just buy fresh meat or buy beef jerky with minimal sugar added.
I have quit eating corn unless in heirloom , Thanks for telling me about the seed farmers use , cannot reproduce, that cannot be to kind on a body, just think about it, and then add the poisn’S that sprayed on crops, I’m praying something can be done about it
I watched all the videos of the Bins being built. Then I saw all the videos of you and Cole finding all the crappy construction of the Bins. Seems to me they did a quick shotty cut corners unsafe job to get paid fast, then move on and do the same to someone else. Hard to find good quality craftsmanship these days. It's all about a quick Buck.

Tried Chomps after watching Coles channel. They are very good! Even my grandson loves them! Thanks for sharing.

I admire how you handle your misrepresentation problem with the new grain handling system.
Regards your PIT problem.. would changing the belt drives to chain and sprocket help?
God will honor you because you mentioned him in the beginning that was awesome.❤❤❤
God just left America, now you voted for the devil!

My local Walmart sells Chomps so I gave them a try and are they ever tasty, love em.

Be careful out there 😊
Need to put a sprockets and chains on that unloading pit make it like a grain cart as always love your content and I'll keep watching
We are Thankful for the Cornstars. Thank God for Farmers.
I got turned on to Chomps on Cole's channel. They are really good. I take them with me to work. Can't go wrong, great snack.
Daddy Cornstar

Chomps are pricey but healthy. The venison ones are delicious.

Correct me if I'm wrong but when mooning from inside a vehicle when it's up against the glass it's called a pressed ham. 😏😉
Great show, DC ! 👍
I hope that clog in the binsite was just a little glitch and not the beginning of something more serious with that whole contraption. 🤞
They are in the middle of a lawsuit I don't think it would be wise to mess with anything right now.
Thank you, Daddy C.

Our farmers should be making way more. They feed the country ffs.
@@Spawn303 yep
My cousins family had a harvesting company and after so many bad years they had to sell everything and close down.
Good explanation!👍

Make a panel for the bottom of the leg with an adapter that you can hook the grain vac to with a slide gate.😊
God bless you all! I love the videos! Would be great to see Summer and MC !

That's a real tear jerker
Have a nice week.
Good morning daddy cornstar, awesome video.
I was driving down the road one day and all of a sudden there was a tail in a window. I just laughed and thought dude I wouldn't be showing that.😂😂
Thanks DC! Always so great to see you! Be safe!
DC never disappoints 😊
Tried CHOMPS from Aldi's to sample, it's pretty good!

give Daddy cornstarr that big thumbs up
Wondering would bigger motor help the pit ..What phase is it .
Great video
If your bins are FULL dont keep unloading
Great video as always 👍 that Oliver sounds so awesome.
DC your the best
Im with you cornstarch the pit should have the ability to do four semi in a hour for when it's harvest time
I can’t find where you have the links in the descriptions at! I don’t see that anywhere.
@joeheneghan9375 - Touch on the thumbnail, the one that says,
I'm just glad your banker didn't let y'all go hungry...' cept you did have Chomps for a back up!😂🤣🙃😆🙃😂
Agra tronix test weight scales are about $40 bucks.
Could you tell us if butt shelling has been much of a issue
It has in my area. A few hundred miles southeast of Iowa
Why hasn’t any warranty been honored by the builder or the manufacturers of the pit and bins?
DC i have a filling that that hole million dollar bin site will be dug up and replaced someday.

That Oliver sounds like it has a 671 Detroit
Moon em😂 I laughed so hard. You're funny
Evening DC🤗
Is that a 2 stroke detroit engine in the Oliver with no hood??? Sounds awesome!!!
Yes it is. a 4-71 I think. My dad had one in the sixties, earmuffs always a must with that tractor.
Screaming jimmy
You should just say if you want a good snack this is what I like.
He’s advertising for them which brings $$$’s to their pockets
Chomps are the best with a big glass of ice cold milk!
That pit should be torn out and a proper enlarged pit built with well designed and executed auger and powered mechanics.😅
interesting plugging a "Grass fed" beef stick while your unloading corn.

Daddy corn star who’s holding the camera up the steps 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Man, I could of swore the Oliver had a straight pipe 😄
You made a funny D/C.You showed us Elmer the Truck and then called Elmer a she.When you said she's full. Made me laugh. No gender crisis on the farm ! 😂 😅
Why don't you mention about the Sodium 1,200 mg ???

Amen🙋♀️
Hey!
I mooned Cole the Cornstar with help from D.C. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hey D.C. you should not go hmm good before you take a bite !😂
DC ssssstttttttttiiiiiiilllllllll getting it done again
Go daddy cornhead
This must be a commercial channel now
They've always had sponsors...nothing new.
They are desperate for money

They have to do this, it’s sh!t…. the farm is so so small for all the equipment they own… they should just contract harvesting out or get more acres…
Not sure you or the bin people know what's wrong maybe an engineer can give you some number. If you see Sable have her give us a shout out.
i have a vacuum cleaner that's louder than that dave from ct
Maybe DC should call "Elemer" Elmirina as "she" is either half empty or half full.
I know of a good Sausage manufacturer...I'll send you a link.
Everything is going DC's way...
You should put a mirror on a long pole to see inside the trucks bin instead of climbing the ladder and have magnets on it so you just attach it by the ladder… oh wait maybe I should invent one … naw its all yours

I have never talked about your wife like that!!
A real infomercial. Gnb bankChomps meat sticks
Can you talk about the main problems yall are having with the setup or is that part of the "I can't talk about it" stuff.
So sorry you have a sh*tty pit, but your sense of humor seems to be intact. Thanks for the video!
Farmers are our national heroes
HEY. If the CHOMPS are all grass feed, that means they are all vegan. The vegans can have CHOMPS and know they are all grass.
🤨🙄
Chomps taste like the gross meatballs in spaghetti o's
Daddy how do you know if the chomps are made out of grass fed meat or not? Probally made from old cow meat that the co can buy the cheapest!
5th
That is so disappointing.
They are use to talking over very loud machines, it is normal for them… no problem…turn your volume down!
I have quit eating corn unless in heirloom , Thanks for telling me about the seed farmers use , cannot reproduce, that cannot be to kind on a body, just think about it, and then add the poisn’S that sprayed on crops, I’m praying something can be done about it
Excuse me. Sweet corn is what humans consume, not field corn. Oh, my grandfather grew popcorn too .
Tell us you know nothing about corn without telling us you know nothing about corn.
Looks like Cole needs to find a new line of work as most farmers are like Cooper and Dad.
Just an observation.
Cheers.

Take it up with the general contractor who signed off on everything, he's over digging a big hole about 100 yards away.
So it wasn't broken, just plugged up.... Thumbs down again for clickbait
In my opinion Chomps Beef Sticks are absolutely disgusting tasting I'll stick to my Jack Link's Terraki 😋
