In the early 70s, I worked for another farmer, and we tried adding corn, wheat, and soybeans to the vegetable rotation. Bought a new MF 510 with 4 row header. It was terribly wet fall one year. Tried the tire reversing to clean lugs when you back out. Helped somewhat. Went to clamp on duals, this Helped, but we had bigger issues when we dared to venture larger muddy areas. Had to drop the header a couple of times as we were too badly stuck. The farmer's son blew the 3 speed transmission that year, custom combing muddy beans.
I know it’s out they’re trying to finish up the poor cold weather and snow comes. How’s your walkers and distributors in the combine are they getting wet? Getting hard to get material through we start that problem take care. Good luck.
@Oliver66FarmBoy we had also purchased a batch dryer, which I operated besides running 2 trucks. I dried till you felt the dew at night. But yes, that combine was abused the 3 years the farm had it.
Ethan, glad you were able to drive the combined out of the mud. I remember when I was a kid grandpa saying some times that it was very wet and muddy the cornfield had to wait till winter time to pick his corn. Thanks Michael
The grinding wet corn comment took me back to fall of 19' here in SWMN we had the same fall your having this year. It will all get done but it will be a fight... Good luck and a safe rest of your harvest.
I still remember all the work you and your Dad did to that combine where it had been rolled. Turned out to be a good machine. It will darn sure eat some corn...
You do the best ya' can with what ya' got= that's farmin'. I feel for ya' brother, do what you can this year, next year will be better. That's the hope, that's what's keep us trying. God bless.
That 4 row cornhead has definitely served you well. My dream combine is to have an IH 1440 running corn with a 4 row cornhead. A John Deere 95 Combine for Soybeans. A John Deere 45EB for Wheat. I'm going to use my 45EB for parts.
Its early yet, I would not get to worried. 2009 we didnt start corn until November 10th. It was 28 percent and we finished in February. We could combine 50 acres a day for the home drier and then haul to town, they would be closed by 1-2 everyday. It was a slow go, but it got done.
Your 8700 on 4 narrows is just what I dealt with my 8900 on4 wides put the ladder up or take out a row. And my 28L26s were right on top of the row chewed up tires.
51 years ago in 1972 we had a cool/cloudy/wet summer. Crop maturity/drydown was pushed back significantly. I was a student employee at the OSU Farm Science Review. During Review week field demos, they were able to cut some beans and chop silage corn. Grain corn was not fit to harvest. The ground conditions were poor at best that fall. A large percentage of the Ohio crop was harvested in early 1973 after the ground froze unless you had gravel ground or systematic tiling.
Hi Ethan, thanks for the ride a long with you and Teeter. I have a question just out of curiosity. In a video a long time ago you had stated that if Oliver/White had not been an option available to you for your tractors you stated that you would have went with IH. If that same situation held true with combines, what brand of combine would you have chosen? Love the vids and your insights into farming and what works well for you. Wishing you a safe harvest season.
hi nice corn crop where is this farm and how is grain paying is this for hogs and cattle grind it up into powder how many arcas here. looks really dry the field thanks for the video.
Going to be a little bit of a challenge to get the ruts out of that field. It is a shame about the elevator cause you were making some really good headway on your dad's place. Hopefully, you come out okay in the end. See you soon in the next one.
Muddy field conditions makes hard to keep the machine on the row . The rear end just wants to go straight and not turn. Also mud thrown on vbelts wears them out.I'm sure you already know this stuff 😮.AL B.
The town I live in is the home of Shivers mfg. They had the south plant burn down this year in I fire so they are running Shivers & Country clipper out of the same building. Guessing that slowed down some production.
Ethan, those ruts are deep good thing you know your fields and equipment. I love the way Teeter wants to be on daddy’s lap such a good girl. ❤ That is some tall corn. Are you going to bail any fodder? When are you getting your cows do you know?
Are you making any money I hear so many people say we broke even as they drive there 70k dollar trucks around town do you have it figured out how much gos in and how much is coming out per acre
I am guessing they have contracts they need to fill also just like many of the farmers have their contracts to fill. Their just all working together probably to fill everyone’s contracts
Not only does the elevator have contracts they need to fill but you tell an entire region of farmers that you aren’t taking any corn over 25 when there is no corn that dry and probably won’t be, and see what your life expectancy is.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy I'm not debating that this year is effed up. But pushing just to push isn't the right answer. You waited and have the better product. We're waiting right now...granted we just got 3" of snow today

When you put duals on gotta start taking half hopper loads and not drive it like a cowboy or you will find the weakest link.

Thanks for sharing. Looks like the pup is having fun and new adventures!
Yea

That’s what’s gonna happen here.

Always a new challenge
great puppy mine is 14 years old you are blessed
I still remember all the work you and your Dad did to that combine where it had been rolled. Turned out to be a good machine. It will darn sure eat some corn...
Yes, you do amazing work with your machinery. I love seeing your equipment work. Thank you
Clean corn, beautiful combine.
You do the best ya' can with what ya' got= that's farmin'. I feel for ya' brother, do what you can this year, next year will be better. That's the hope, that's what's keep us trying. God bless.

Teeter what a loyal companion dogs are wonderful love the video Ethan hoping the crops reward you
Where I am at in Wisconsin we have had the dry est year wow we are all done with beans corn and we

Puppy dog sure likes riding inside cab with you Good looking yellow corn thanks for the ride
Love seeing you and Teeter, a man and his dog 💕
Thanks

Good for you.

Mine are the same. I want to make stalk stompers.
That 8700 sure dose run good and I like how in some of your videos you was in a shirt or sweatshirt to now sweatshirt and coat LOL Good video Ethan
Michigan weather.
Looking good buddy be safe out there your buddy from Nebraska
Thanks
@Oliver66FarmBoy no problem buddy

There are already guys here talking about finishing up next spring.

That feeling dog is awesome!!!
Cracks me up
Our local feed mill isn’t taking anything over 20 or 22 and you listen to what those guys are dealing with it makes sense
They must not need corn that bad.
That combine did well do get through that, those ruts were serious
It was sketchy
Its good thing that the heat works in that combine right hey I found old Oliver 70 on steal it need some work they are asking 400 for it
hi nice corn crop where is this farm and how is grain paying is this for hogs and cattle grind it up into powder how many arcas here. looks really dry the field thanks for the video.
Yikes that some deep ruts you made. I see you may get some snow / rain your way on tuesday. Good luck. Jeff.
It’s already accumulating

Nothing a chisel plow won’t fix.
@Oliver66FarmBoy this is true. Shouldn't take too long. Maybe a pass or two with the disc afterwards and it'll be good as gold.

Cool camera angle off the top of the cab.

Probably a contributing factor.
Im looking to eventually get me a 915 IH with a 4 rw head for my corn next year
Ethan, those ruts are deep good thing you know your fields and equipment. I love the way Teeter wants to be on daddy’s lap such a good girl. ❤ That is some tall corn. Are you going to bail any fodder? When are you getting your cows do you know?
Man i can not believe the streak of crappy weather. Feel your pain. But this time from my ipad. Lol
Not the first. Won’t be the last.
Lucky there deep ruts.
Miserable yr here in thumb of michigan as well so much rain beans are coming off this wk and fields are straight mud bog of ruts
At least they can cut beans.
Do you at sometime in the future plan on putting in storage bins and a dryer?
Well at least it’s getting something done.. how’s the muck look?
I don’t want to know.
Good stuff Ethan
Are we going to see any mini kinze action this fall
No
How come you're not using your Oliver to cut your corn
why does the elevator allow them to bring it in when so wet?
Because they need corn and there’s nothing dry.
what combine do you run
The combine right there in the video. Big red thing white wheels. Corn head hanging on the front.
yeah@@Oliver66FarmBoy
Picture of it in the thumbnail, model in the video title and a 30 minute video of it running and still couldn’t figure it out on your own?
what brand
@@Oliver66FarmBoy
It literally says it on the side of the combine…. And you still can’t figure it out on your own…. Good lord.
Combine does a great job Ethan it's a credit to you
Thanks.
What state are you located
The corn is plenty tall in that field
It'll get fit one of these days
Not looking like it.
Is teeter a guy or a girl what kind of dog is it
BREWERs?....BEST-PEOPLE EVER-KNOWN.... LENNON-ROAD MICHIGAN🤩👍
Do what?
Big lap dog!
She thinks so.
Are you making any money I hear so many people say we broke even as they drive there 70k dollar trucks around town do you have it figured out how much gos in and how much is coming out per acre
No. I’m doing all this to loose my ass….
They should reject corn over 25 %
I am guessing they have contracts they need to fill also just like many of the farmers have their contracts to fill. Their just all working together probably to fill everyone’s contracts
Not only does the elevator have contracts they need to fill but you tell an entire region of farmers that you aren’t taking any corn over 25 when there is no corn that dry and probably won’t be, and see what your life expectancy is.
Could be worse, could be your first year
Time for some wider tires
Wider tires get stuck easier
Haven't hit a lick here since Tuesday Farm Boy!
It’s snowing here.
If it's above 28% moisture it's dumb to even take it off the field. Get hit so hard with drying doc n shrinkage doc won't be any money left to make
In a normal year it’s dumb. There is nothing normal about this year.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy I'm not debating that this year is effed up. But pushing just to push isn't the right answer. You waited and have the better product. We're waiting right now...granted we just got 3" of snow today
I don’t have 3-4000 acres of corn to run. Those guys can’t wait. You can’t draw any comparison there.
Freaking dog
What? What's your problem?
