Can't beat manure on ground that hasn't had any in years. Its a shame you can't bring home a load here and there. Glad you are getting things ready. GOOD LUCK AND STAY SAFE !!!!
You gotta pull them top plugs on the corn head and pump corn head grease through the zerks on the bottom till it comes out that hole on top. Hope that makes sense
what you need is a hoop building like the one you built at the other place to store your hay. You are risking it there having hay that close to your shop space.
You can tell… it’s definitely dark green where the manure was. Everything in life needs maintenance lol. All your hard work is paying off and will continue!! Thank you for sharing
Duffy, you need to pull the plug out the top and put the grease in through the bottom of the gearbox on the grease Zirk till it reaches the plug at the top
Well as for custom combining we did it for seven years . I did not start out with the intent to do custom work. For about 25 or so years i ran and on farm ag repair service and i bought and sold tractors and equipment . Always looking for that bargain , I was down at the OLD TRI Green sale and there was this super clean OLD Massey 300 and i bought it for 650 bucks just knowing that i could nail a home run with it and it would sell at another sale for 1500to 1750 . Small timers were always looking for a small combine . After haulng it to five different sales and not one bid on it and small grain season was done and gone i was chewing on it and not counting trucking . This is NOT good , the War Dept ( my wife) was on me with both feet over this hunk of dead IRON not selling . Like i said i went to a lot of sales covering three to five states . My one Jockey buddy and i were out at a sale in Indiana and i was not paying attention as what he was doing when it dawned on me He is BUYING Corn heads that would fit on my Massey for oh 4 to 6 dollars and fifty cents for GOOD Corn heads . that were for a Massey 300 . I said to Donnie how about letting me grab one since your just buying them to SCRAP since SCRAP was BRING 175 a ton and these old corn heads weighed in at around 3500 Lbs . So i crabbed one that was really nice and had to give 7.50 for it . . Later that day i snagged two five gallon buckets full of TRACTOR head lights for 2 buck as the combine never had lights on it so well if your doing corn your going to work at night . Sometimes when Donnie and i went to sales we might take one of his semi's , i always got stuck driving . Well we loaded up all of what he and i gathered up on day one and on day two as it was always a two day sale and the next day was tractors combines and Industrial and the my favort row the dead row . Many ah nice tractors that were DOA at the sale are now out working for a living as i was a heavy buyer of the dead row . . When we got back on Friday we unloaded all or treasures and Saturday i went to work on my seven dollar and fifty cent cron head and fixing what i found bad off what Donnie bought , on one of his heads i found four new gatering chains and swapped him IRON FOR Iron . And got a few spare parts . One of our guys we knew that i saw at the next sale he gave me the sprocket and extra drive chain to go from small grain to corn for the cylinder . Well i had it all set up for corn with LIGHTS LOTS of LIGHTS. I put the word out that Hey if ya need a field opened to start choppen i can open your fields for 25 bucks and hour . OR i can do your shelling . I had stiff competition against two 6600 Deeres . . When i get a call at the house and a guy i did a LITTLE work for calls and asked how fast i could get up to his place and do 78 acres. Told him i could be up there by Noon . Well on the way to his place a shredded BOTH drive belts and had to make a 90 miole round trip to get belts . Next day we dive into his shelling and i run all of it and he is super happy as he had no dockage . So we cleaned the combine off at his place and backed it into his shed for the night and i was about to leave when his neighbor showed up and asked if i could come do his 87 acres so worked on that for three days when the neighbor across the road come over and asked if i could do his 80 . at 25 and acre we made money and i now have made more then had i did get it sold . Next year the Small guys with 10 -20 acres way back up thru the woods and thru them 12 foot gates we kept it moving . But before the corn came on we hd to find a cab as we were NOT doing corn with out a cab and Dick Green owner of Tri Green Auctions Came thru for me and i got a super nice cab for 160 bucks and made upgrades to the charging system by removing the gen and switched to a 75 Amp alt fron a junk yard off a DODGE Swinger that had A/C as the old Massey ran a 225 Chrysler slant six gas and everything was a bolt on . Now in a LONG day like from 10 in the morning to midnight i would suck down around 40 gallon of gas HIGH TEST gas at 95.9 a gallon . i could munch thru around 30 acres a day in good corn running around a 180 BBA . When all done and someone just had to have my Massey 300 for 2850 bucks between the small guys and small fields overt the seven years i ran it it made me over 28000 bucks .It loved to eat corn and for get the idea of OH two 16 foot grain trucks will stay ahead of it NOT with them only having 7 miles to go , it took FOUR grain trucks and two tractors both pulling two 350 Bushel gravity wagons . I just supplied the combine . When i sold it i went looking for a replacement and i could not come up with one and it was several years before i found one . That one was a super low hour Massey 750 Several Cab with 1878 ORG hours with a flex 20 footer head and a 1143 corn head for 2750 bucks . While on the way home from that sale i made one phone call and had it sold for 7500 and they had to come out and get it and haul it Home . Had they not taken it i was going back into the custom harvest and start looking for a 1144 and a 1143 corn head that way i could do Wide foru row and narrow four row and narrow six row . Yep you have a Deere , myself i steer clear of Deeres due to guys i know who were far Bigger Jockies pointed out what to look for BEFORE ya raise your hand on a Deere . As more then Likely if it was at a sale she was done for .I am and IH guy and that is what i normally work on and would love and axual flow BUT here again if it is as t sale there is a reason why it is there . ANd even though it's there with issues they still command top dollar , back then i really wanted a 1460 late model . So did everyone else who had deeper pockets . . When a combine reaches around 3500 to 4000 Hrs it now becomes a money pit . Can you revive it , yea if your check book has no bottom . And it also helps when ya know every warm body who is in the the combine salvage . . I know where to call for parts . and if ya want GOOD parts they have to come form the west .
As always I enjoy your videos keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep watching I love everything you do wish I could do it but no longer can do much but you do you
Duffy u undo the plug yes you put the greese in from underneath there's a zerc this pushes the air out of the gearbox and prolongs the gearbox life please go back it usually takes 1/2a tube per box. The plug let's it burp air and tells you when full. Please do this!!!!!
Yeah you'd need a huge upgrade in combines to go custom harvesting. Maybe someday youll get to that you're still young yet the next 20 years will bring a lot of changes.
Chris, Hey I don't want to dump on you about anything, but I would hate to see you get hurt. When you were untangling the hose on the acetylene outfit while it was lit, you were not focused on the flame/handle side of things (or at least it appeared that way from the angle on the camera) it looked like it could have burned your arm. I enjoy watching your videos and you making it through the struggles you face. Keep on keeping on!
Seeing the stages your corn is at, may I address all the keyboard farmer? it is NOT ready to harvest. Not even close. It WILL get there. But not tomorrow or even next week. Chris keep doing the trucking and prep mechanicing. Oh and who am I to say? An Iowa farmer. Catching up with Duffy after a long day combining corn here.
Chris if you want real sweet pork, feed your pigs a few big boxes of apples the last month before butcher. Only apples you won't regret it. Thanks for your videos really enjoy watching.
Chris don't forget to lubricant the Double chains on the Sprockets. That go on the shaft between your header and feeder house. Hopefully you will understand what I'm saying. Good luck and keep up the great work. 💪🇺🇲👍
So cool to see all your progress. Keep up the great content. Love to see you wrenching on stuff . The wrenching and your chopper is what got me hooked like 4 years ago at least . Congratulations
It became easier apart than removing a bearing on my brothers work they used a 300ton puller and it would not move so they heated the axle redhot and put the puller on again this time it started to move.
I've commented this before too, he could really use a beater farm truck. I use a beat up 01 1500 silverado with 300k miles. I have a normal tool box, and some bed rail boxes. Honestly it does almost everything I ever need. Has all the basic hand tools, grease gun, some hardware, fluids etc. Keeps my 2018 f350 nice.
@@932fast4u yes all you need is a beater that runs good and you use it for the dirty work then your good truck stays clean and you dont beat the crap out of it driving though the fields and mud and cow turds
Maybe when you get newer combine and a and a cart you can’t risk breaking down doing somebody else’s stuff when you run older equipment like us and some reason this year it seems to be the year everybody is breaking down, so I wish you the best have none
Hi from oz chris. When we had jd 3350 was made in Mannheim but motor was made in sarin France. Doʻnt stop stop doing manure. Its the backbone of your business currently. When you are more financially secure then think about either cutting down or stop doing it.
Why don't you bring a load home with you when you do bring the truck home so you spred over the grass. Some farmers will let a load go to help a guy out.
Your work yard area needs to be called Wrenching Ranch. Great corn production and can't wait to see your farm field cleanup to grow more. Fantastic planning👍👍👍
Hear in the UK there's no money in custom work as fast as the machine is payed for you need a new one. Combines and foragers to much to go wrong to make money doing other people's work
Because if he tore it apart he wouldnt be able to move it around any longer...and they are probably 50 year old springs as well which could break on the first or 100th load and he'd be right back buying new springs so he may as well just buy new ones rather than messing with it multipule times.
I grew up on the same kinda farming Chris is doing if it broke fix it anyway you could I would have pull good set from spare and broken set it it’s place and save
For a new set down the road 59 year old springs would hold til winter for a major overhaul was my only point I see myself in Chris I want the best for him
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, EVER PUT A LARGER FUSE IN A MARKED FUSE HOLDER, NEVER, EVER. The fuse is there to protect the wires. If the fuse is supposed to be a 15 amp and you put in a 25 amp and something shorts you will at the very least have melted wires or an entire harness melted but you could also wind up with a tractor/vehicle BURNED TO THE GROUND. Either the proper size fuse or for temporary (if it will hold) a lesser amp fuse.
Put the drone up in the spring, after discing, after a rain. Should be able to see the "drying" tile lines. At least get you close enough to "witch" them
I will not buy a John Deere tractor anymore because they’re being made in Mexico very soon🇲🇽 And John Deere took the jobs out of American sent it all to Mexico
@@JoePasqprobably Andy Dennison he's an ass-hole. Couldn't stand him from the get go. He's been at RUclips for years and years and he's got about 20,000 subscribers and every time a RUclips farmer surpasses him in subscriber numbers he always has to start bashing them. And you can always figure there's be 20,000 ass-holes just like him that would like his content
@@matthewkrantz3224 that guy always seems like he pissed off at whole world. I couldn’t stand watching that guy and then reading all his fan boy comments especially about his political opinions . i was done with him , too bad most farming channels are interesting
A 1 man operation having a service truck is like voting for Kamala for president it’s plain stupid meaning spouting off about sounds good but in theory it’s once again dumb grab a tool box everything you fix takes weeks months or years
Why not ? 200-225 acres of grain corn is pretty far from a full time gig and sure won't pay his mortgage. His only other option would be start doing truck and equipment repair for locals.
$50/acre to custom combine sounds ok "if" youre doing 100 acre fields, but a lot of guys use up your time, and pay nothing for it, wanting you to combine three 15 acre fields, that are often wet. paid by the hour is the only way to do custom.
@@OOpSjmare for sure because with a 12 row head in 175-200 bu/acre corn I've seen guys knockout 8 acres an hour even in smallish fields that's $400 an hour do that for a 10-hour day that's $4000 he can't make four grand trucking shit not unless he had three or four trucks. Sure if you're going to dick around with a worm out combine with a 6 row head you're not going to make any money but if you're charging 50 an acre and knocking out the acres an hour and it adds up fast.
The truck and tanker is cheaper to maintain by the hour. I think you got it right. Even if the host farm has hauling figured out to many headaches right now.
Can't beat manure on ground that hasn't had any in years.
Its a shame you can't bring home a load here and there.
Glad you are getting things ready. GOOD LUCK AND STAY SAFE !!!!

There's no bother getting work in the custom game it's the getting paid is the hardest part 😮
Especially when corn is worth nothing. Everything I do now I require a 35% upfront payment or I'm not coming. That way at least I'm not out much.
Corn is looking good 🎉😊

Don't forget to fix something on the truck or trailer to hold your spreader plate.
Great work Chris thank you for sharing and your time
If you had a newer reliable combine I'd say yes but your old combine id say no I'd just keep it running for your own stuff
Its actually a "Gang" of row units, like a gang plow is a bunch of separate adjustable plow blades. haven't seen the term used since I was little
It became easier apart than removing a bearing on my brothers work they used a 300ton puller and it would not move so they heated the axle redhot and put the puller on again this time it started to move.

Custom requires a more modern and reliable machine...easy money without the risk of farming
Like we say in England, where's there's muck there's money. If you're happy hauling manure, why change.
The grease fittings on the front of the drive sprockets install 90's and face them forward should not have to open them to grease.
Criss it's a platform and yes they are called gathering chains
I would not start with custom combining. You can do some to help or assist but not more because you don't have enough hands
The gearboxes on your head has zerks on the bottom of the gearboxes the is were the book says to fill them up.
Maybe when you get newer combine and a and a cart you can’t risk breaking down doing somebody else’s stuff when you run older equipment like us and some reason this year it seems to be the year everybody is breaking down, so I wish you the best have none

It’s 10 things they’re taking that much grease where all the grease go. I seen another guy come there hardly had to put any grease in them done
You fill them with grease, a lot of grease.
Check out Ross the oliver man, he got a non working f250 dirt cheap.
Steers aren't far from ready for the rail. Butcher and sell to your friends gets you all the money.
Don’t do it till your crop is done
You fill row unit gear boxes way wrong.... u pull top plug out the get under and fill from the bottom.....
On the walk to the barn to feed the pigs and steers, it looks like you were limping. What did you DO?

I have to ask
does the green mack have a camelback if so is it the same??
The trunions aren't worn? No grease fittings on them either?
What about your Parts truck
That's what I was wondering. I'd have been robbing those spring packs if it was me. Might be a different suspension though.
How come you didn’t get the spring off the green Mack
Because if he tore it apart he wouldnt be able to move it around any longer...and they are probably 50 year old springs as well which could break on the first or 100th load and he'd be right back buying new springs so he may as well just buy new ones rather than messing with it multipule times.

Custom harvesting would only work in fields like as big as ours here in southern Illinois.
Custom combine work can be a lot of wear and tear it ain't really worth it at all and i mean at all
Grease fittings on the bottom is to fill gear boxes
Yes take out the plug and fill from the bottom grease fitting!!! 👍
Did you replace the turbo on the combine?
Corn looks green for mid to late october in ny
i hate springs
Hauling manure is paying off . Dont go starting something not as promising.

We've been through this before. What he's doing is 100% legal

He's been at RUclips for years and years and he's got about 20,000 subscribers and every time a RUclips farmer surpasses him in subscriber numbers he always has to start bashing them. And you can always figure there's be 20,000 ass-holes just like him that would like his content
@@matthewkrantz3224 that guy always seems like he pissed off at whole world. I couldn’t stand watching that guy and then reading all his fan boy comments especially about his political opinions . i was done with him , too bad most farming channels are interesting
@classicxl go cry somewhere else you liberal commie
I wouldn't custom combine, why beet the shit out of all your equipment ,
A 1 man operation having a service truck is like voting for Kamala for president it’s plain stupid meaning spouting off about sounds good but in theory it’s once again dumb grab a tool box everything you fix takes weeks months or years
No you should not to keep doing the same thing you're doing now with hauling manure on farms
Why not ? 200-225 acres of grain corn is pretty far from a full time gig and sure won't pay his mortgage. His only other option would be start doing truck and equipment repair for locals.
Wny shouldn't he? Go play farm simulator some more
$50/acre to custom combine sounds ok "if" youre doing 100 acre fields, but a lot of guys use up your time, and pay nothing for it, wanting you to combine three 15 acre fields, that are often wet. paid by the hour is the only way to do custom.
Need to be doing 1000s of acres at $50
@@OOpSjmare for sure because with a 12 row head in 175-200 bu/acre corn I've seen guys knockout 8 acres an hour even in smallish fields that's $400 an hour do that for a 10-hour day that's $4000 he can't make four grand trucking shit not unless he had three or four trucks. Sure if you're going to dick around with a worm out combine with a 6 row head you're not going to make any money but if you're charging 50 an acre and knocking out the acres an hour and it adds up fast.
Nice video
Most custom operators have a acre and hourly charge
The truck and tanker is cheaper to maintain by the hour. I think you got it right. Even if the host farm has hauling figured out to many headaches right now.
