- Fire + Tractor = BAD
In today's episode, we finished combining the North Farm and moved over to Zach's, my neighbor's tractor caught on fire, Dad covered a grave, and I sorted out a few issues we have been having with the combine. Luckily, no one was hurt in the tractor fire, but I ask that everyone would pray for Craig and his family. We are also now 45% done with corn harvest!

DC, I believe that all of your viewers appreciate the care and respect that you show when you are working at a grave site. I know that if the loved ones could see you at work that they would appreciate it also.
DC and Cole have huge hearts and are so respectful while working at the cemetery. God bless you good men. 🤍🕊️ I’m sure you knew some of those people, and I know their families appreciate y’all.
I'm in my 70s and my grandma's parents were farmers in Indiana. I've always apreciated garmers and farming but you have raised my awareness of how far farming has come in this high tec world while the hearts of our farming population remain strong for their families, their farms, their neighbors and their world. Thanks for all you do 🥰
pardon my fat fingers.
Yup, sorry for your friends tractor. Years ago, it wasn’t uncommon for machinery to burn. If you didn’t see it, a neighbor come over and tell you. If it was really bad, we’d take shifts harvesting their crops. Even my grandpa would come over with his draft team when he was in his 80s to help out. It’s good to see farmers still helping each other out.
I just want to thank you and all farmers of America our beautiful country. You are what makes our country whole👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I love the care you take when you’re at the cemetery’s
agreed
I am so impressed by the deep respect Daddy Cornstar shows when executing his graveyard responsibilities! Thank you!
Daddy Cornstar, I am always so touched at the respect you show at each closing of a grave. Brings tears to my eyes! I know each family appreciates your thoughtfulness. Actually, I’d never cry or be sentimental! 💦 Must be the massive cotton harvesting here in West Texas! I sent a couple weeks ago a video on cotton harvesting here to Cole’s Instagram, thought it might be interesting for you guys. Praying no one was injured in the neighbors equipment fire. 🙏🏻💔
Best of luck to the farmer who lost equipment and hopefully no one was hurt
Cooper's suggestion of reversing the pattern on the approach to the grain leg is genius. This practice now will pay off big in the future. Give that man a bonus. Happy subscriber 😀 l
Your videos are always interesting. It must be really hard to get the equipment to cooperate at times . Your father is such a special person , the way he takes care for the graveyards . That means so much to people that have lost a loved one.
From that thumbnail I thought maybe y'all finally had enough and set the combine on fire😁
With the luck that they have been having with that combine it probably wouldn't burn, just catch the cornfield on fire. 🤭🤭
Wow DC. When you stood there and dropped those two single roses onto the grave, that kind of got me. It just seemed very respectful and touching. I know you guys are always very careful and treat what you do with such dignity for the departed and their family. But that one just got to me. Appreciate the respect and dignity that you all take for this.
Don’t you just love technology. Always loved farming at night. Everything ran cooler. Love the tees my wife bought for me. God bless. Today’s verse Titus 3:4/7
Thank you for being so respectful at the cemetery, its nice to know your loved ones are cared for.
I am very impressed with the capital improvements Corn Star Farms has made. They are very exciting to me as a viewer. Thanks for the videos.
On the bright side, you have the majority of your corn planting done for next year.
Two manual settings that are important on the CIH machine - one is, set your rotor cage vanes .... two, sieve extension (there's a little adjustor lever on rear of machine) .... if you go up and down hill, they do not have shoe augers, so you'll have pile up in the pan down hill then when that pile up hits the sieve, it can overload (adjust mph accordingly) ...... as far as the corn head shelling, anything above 500 rpm can lead to loss - it appears you need to level your head out some.. the geringhoff heads are a little more prone to plugging- they are built overseas, where harvest conditions are much different..... best of luck ...
And the Care you put into the graves is just really respectful,thank you!!!
I had the same problem with rotor loss on my 9770 and I actually hat to shell at 2.6 mph for the first time ever and what we came up with is all the rain there were no roots and we were talking the whole stalk in and there was way to much material going through.
Hope everybody had a great weekend so far

Hopefully Craig and everyone who works with him is ok and safe. God bless y’all ❤️
I thought I saw snow on y'all today.
We took a trip through the country.
Lots red and yellow leaves. Take
your time. Winter will be here purty
soon, whether you want it or not.
Blessings,
Just never get used to the idea of harvesting in freezing weather. Here in the UK harvest is a Summer activity ! 😆
We had a bearing go out on the driven side of the cleaning fan. We had the same issues as you. We Took the drive motor off and change the bearing. It fixed the problem. Just a tough for you to consider.
I love how you guys take great care of the gravesites you guys take care of
If you have any questions about the combine I have the exact same one. Been very happy with it I love it
The solution to yield loss is simple.....send your cranky combine to a steel mill in downtown Pittsburgh and melt it down to make something more useful
praying 😔 🙏. This is my second harvest with The Cornstars. Love it, takes me back to our own harvest on the ranch
Hey DC, good to see you back to yourself! After you were in the hospital it felt like you just weren’t at full strength or volume, but you are now! Good luck getting through the rest of the fall and I hope that the Christmas season brings you a well earned rest after a hard season. I
Daddy Cornstar you and Cole are so sweet and reverently place the dirt and then gently place the flowers, no wonder people request your services ! I got a crush on you and your boys !
Prayers for Craig and family
I hope Craig and his crew are safe. That’s terrible 😞. God bless you Craig.
Dc takes such good care of his graveyards
As a multi generation farmer, I will be cremated to give back to the 🌎 that's fed my family of farmers for generations and generations.
I don’t know if this would help but run your bottom sieves wide open then your top sieves might need to be adjusted manually in the first foot and the last to match the middle adjustment from the cab ,also with your corn header make sure it’s running at the right angle to stop trash buildup on the head think it may be 23 degrees or more ,also adjust the transport veins to slow position to reduce kernel loss as far as rotor speed depends on the sample so you might need to slow down and speed up hope this helps a little ,great video 👍👍
Had the same trash build up problem in a short season hybrid testing 14.5%. If I pushed the ground speed to hard the stalks broke off right above the ear and then built up in the middle of the head which I finally figured out was the where the trash from the whole head piled up and finally plugged the middle rows. Slowing down was frustrating, but it beat getting out and pitching the trash off the head. I too run the bottom sieves wide open and the adjust the top sieves . All that trash in the rotor is holding the kernels in the rotor and then out the back onto the ground. Highly unlikely its going over the back of the sieves due to a lack of capacity.
The pre sieve could be too far open and overwhelming the fan, this could also account for the dirty sample.
You gotta fill that combine up and keep it full or it will spit corn out the back. You have more loss at 4000 bushel an hour than you will at 6 in 200 bushel corn you should be running 5.5-6 mph one you get the rotor stuffed full it will force the corn through the concaves better
Deer gotta eat too. Sorry for your loss of corn.
640 is pretty damn fast I have an eight row head I run around 510 or 520 and open your deck plates a little wider
DC I love the way you handle those graves with such care. You are a wonderful person.
I prayed that things would go smoothly tomorrow. God bless your family.
Glad your combine didn't catch fire or one of your tractors or semi sad for your friend who did though .
Ran between 15-18% moisture 200+ bu ac here in NW Ohio. Had to close the deck/stripper plates to keep from butt shelling, depended on the variety of Corn for trash building up on the header and run 3.5 mph most of the time to keep from throwing kernels out the back. You can blow them over with too much air also. Cracked kernels rotor speed is too fast, smashed kernels rotor is too tight, dumping over the cab and missing the grain cart is 100% loss. 🤣😁😎 2021 is quite the year Cole.
In my area the CIH dealer has a combine specialist put on a combine school each winter. It really helps learning all the options to setup for different conditions..
...and your "area" would be?.......

As the Big Swede would say “junk”
Big props for the editing on the phone call with Cole and Dad talking corn loss. Not easy edits
I remember growing up and going out the fields and picking up all the full corn cobs missed by the combine. We would take 10-20 8ft truck beds worth of cobs out of the fields. This was back in the early 90s. That combine was probably a old one back than. Boy they have come a long way since
But what would you do with it then? You don't eat this corn.
@@JCrook1028 shell it and mix it into the goat feed or give it to the pigs or the horse will eat it. You know the uses you would use it for on a farm
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
My husband is a "shade tree mechanic". He says that every foreign made car needs come with a little compartment that contains a mechanic who can get his hand into all those tiny, out of the way places thy seem to put all he important stuff. Maybe the combine needs it's on compartment containing a guy who knows all the settings for all the conditions whatever crop you're growing. 🤔
hope you get things figured out. Good luck buddy
Cole.... Solution for the light material buildup on the "snouts" of the header.... "CORN REEL".
Erin Holbert farm is running one and taking care of the same conditions y'all are encountering.
Not trying to tell you what to do, but when corn gets super dry with the chopping heads I slow header speed down and it feeds way better
When's a combine, not a combine?
When it's in bits 😂😂😂😂😂
Heh. From the thumbnail, I thought the troublesome new combine had fallen victim to Cooper's welding torch.
Daddy corn Star your a good man you make graves awesome. Lucky people
Love the respect DC showed at the cemetery 👍
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable.
I trust your neighbor, Craig, is ok after that fire and those working with him. God bless them.
The cornstar team is moving right with harvest. Keep up the good work. Keep the corn moving is what counts at harvest time. I will not keep after you all about the combine. But I am here to tell you that combine should not have that many problems. Get a dealer rep to go over it so you know if the combine is right or not. Enough said. Corn on the ground is money out of your pocket.
My compliments to DC for the fine work he does at the cemeteries. Everything looks very nice when he is done. My compliments to you DC!!!!!!!!!
Glad your bin system is working for you to unlock grain to the new bins. Great.
About it for now. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything.
The Iowa farm boy from years ago.
I recently purchased a new Holland combine that has intellesense ( combine automatically changes the cleaning settings) and what I’ve learned is that the fan really won’t blow grain out the back. The combine always runs the fan at a really high speed and has the sieves closed way more then I used to run them at. Just some food for thought
Had this issue from time to time with corn randomly going over the top sieve and out the back on our 8120 in high bushel areas. We run a 1.5 to 2 degree offset on our sieve settings and that seems to really help. With standard self leveling settings it seems to still overload the right side of the sieves in high bushel corn, by offsetting 1.5 degrees it evens out your sieve load a lot
So hopefully you all are almost finished with harvest by now. It's been stressful this year.
To set the concave on a Case Combine first close the concave all the way and make sure its almost hitting the rotor. Set the stop bolts on the concave carrier. Then calibrate the concave clearance in the monitor to zero. Then take an average cob from the field and take off most of the corn. Measure the bare cob in millimeters. We use a wrench. Lets say the cob measures 20 mm. That's your concave setting. We also tilt the sieve to the left facing the combine from the rear. We have found more corn and material on the right. Putting a little tilt on it helps utilize the whole sieve area. Don't open the pre sieve more than the thickness of a kernel of corn. Only 10 percent goes through here. Don't open the sieves to much. Think of them as more as air deflectors. So if they are straight up all your material will go straight up instead of back. I have really big fingers and I open ours till i can get them in there.
Deer hunting season, get em .... 🦌 Moo ...
Folding head is the Beez knees💪
We figured it was riding out the back on the leaves. Ours was so leafy. Ground it up some more and cut loss out back.
Love your channel hope y’all have a great weekend
Are your rotor vanes set in the slowest position? Round bar in left front, large wire in right front, round bar in both rh and lh in second set back. Running 8010, this set up works for me.
In my experience running the rotor slower seems to work better. More grain on grain separation and gives the grain a longer time to separate. , I do have all crop concaves tho and I for sure run them slower then the regular factory ones. It all just takes time to find the sweet spot with all the crop conditions.
DC !
If I didn't know better I'd think you are enjoying your new bin sight !
😉
Have you checked the plates in the combine to be sure the previous owner didn't have and blocked off of too tight of a screen for high yield?
Craig et al Prayers, sorry you're going thru it. Your safety would be the best news. You folks ok?
The respect you show to the graves is top notch.
Hope you get it sorted quickly.
We've found with our 9670 STS combines that they lose less corn out the back if you keep the rotor 80-90% full. Not super intuitive but works well for us and helps Bu/hr
Check your sieve wiring harness should be underneath sieve loss sensor, they have issues chaffing then shorting out wires which will cause the sieves to open on there own. Something to check.
Poor Cooper. He's just burned out. You all need to go on a ski vacation after harvest.
Sorry to see your fellow farmer lose equipment. Glad to see the deer made it out.
Hopefully the insurance covers that prayers for Craig and can we get a follow up on the fire
Are you really pleased you went with the jcb track loader. Looks like it does everything you need it to really well.
Hey cole we had a north star 12 row and had some of the same problem . I took the black rubber ear savers off and that worked
Slowing your rotor cage vanes will help with rotor loss. You could also add some straight rasp bars to the rotor, you can run up to 8 bars. The straight bars will take some more power, but it sounds like power isn't a problem yet. Don't give up, there are a lot of things that can be adjusted on those combines.
Praying all goes well!
Your problem with the head are those black rubber defectors on top of the snouts. Take them off and put the ear savers back on and it will work good. We run ours at 640rpm and works good
That corns probably not spitting out the back it's probably coming off your roof Cole 😂
Don’t trust your monitor for settings. Verify in the morning and a couple times a day or if you make a setting change. If the sieve setting shows 0.5, manually check that it is 0.5 inch
upcoming project , lubricate the hopper bottom gates . dry corn will save drying costs for sure.
I don’t want to stir up any controversy but you would think Case would send out one of their people to have a look at your combine. I agree it is a machine and machines will break down but this machine is worth serveral hundreds of thousands of dollars and the expectation is that it would work efficiently and effectively most of the time.
I love watching your videos and look forward to seeing them every day. You guys do a great job.
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🌽 🌟
I have faith in your goal you’ll figure it out
1) Ts & Ps to Craig and his family
2) Your family is so thoughtful on your grave work
3) Never eat gut wrenching food when expecting to be far from a toilet.
4) With the issues, fuel consumption, repair costs and aggravation that combine has done you maybe should have kept your old one and bought a second identical one.
We were having lots of problems with our Deere s660 earlier this fall, no matter what we did it was spitting corn our the back. We finally put new concaves in it and it cured all the problems
Dang didn't even go see if the man needed help...
Man alive! Looks like daylight at night around the combine.
Cole, on the combine, how about those AGCO grain-cameras mounted above the hopper, auger and chute to check operation?
Hey Summer & Momma CS great backup support is hard to find, you're the best. Its insane to think about where you all started to what we are seeing today. I know Grandpa CS is beyond pleased✝️
Thank u for your support! I was thinking that about grandpa the other day 💙

My new favorite word "brisky". Thanks D.C.!
What seives do you have? Mine was fine till it got full then spit corn out the back , you need the big seive.
Good luck with that machine. Hope neighbor ok
Y'all are such an amazing wholesome family thank you for bringing light to all who need it. also Cole it's not the Mexican killing your Collin it's the jars of guacamole I'm from Oregon man and the best food you'll get is Mexican food here and the worst thing you'll get is that jar of quak dawg.
I'm glad you're almost halfway done with corn! I hope you write down all the combinations of things you've tried, on the combine, to get it to work properly, so that you'll have it for next year, if you keep that combine. It will be hard to remember it, after a year goes by. Wishing you an easy and successful week, next week. so you can get done. Thanks for taking the time to share these harvest videos.
Would they get rid of it? Who would buy with all the videos of problems?
@@randalllaue4042 can always trade it off at the dealership
@@AstronautSpaceCake someone will always take it? Can use in trade off? Learn for next year? Know nothing about how farmers deal with equipment. Stick with name brands? Always green? Always red? Crazy
Allways a scary sight, equipment fires. That's why we allways keep firefighting equipment handy at the field here in South Arica.
When you are done with corn harvest, want to help us? 🤣🤣🤣
