Mitch, thanks for your excellent videos. I am thinking that a tag axle with agressive v bar tires like the tread of those on a tractor would help with regards to better traction for the trucks in the field. Drop the tag down when the going gets tough.@@beetfarminmitch
Curious what your header loss is. Grew up growing light red kidney beans. We did the labor-intensive separate cut, windrow, & combine. (Pre Pickett?) Always wondered if direct cutting would be less loss. Although, I don't think flexible cutter bars, drapers, & crary systems were available back then, so maybe we had the best process at that time.
Back I. The day cutting, windrowing etc. was king due to lack of header tech, combine tech, and chemical tech. I think it’s probably a horse a piece. Knifing and all that seems to be a lot of time and labor, while flex combining them after a spray is convenient. Still figuring that one out haha
@@beetfarminmitch My dad grew a few acres of soybeans twice(?), but, given the varieties available 50+ years ago, rocky soil, and add to that the 100% manual operation of pretty much everything, running the grain head at ground level was a recipe for disaster. Don't recall if things got torn up, but I'm guessing he didn't like the risk vs benefit.
You have taught my husband & I a respect for farming that we never had before. Thanks for sharing your videos. God bless you, Jenn & your family!
That’s awesome! Thank you so much for watching! I’m glad you are able to glean from my vids!

Nice that you have options to go to, can't do beets go to beans. Thanks Mitch.
You’ve got that right Bert!

Keep up the good work!🙂
Lovely vid as always
Love your videos very much we don't have many beet farmers in the mountains of East Tennessee 😅
Looks like a solid crop coming in! Hope she’s a safe harvest
Hello
Mitch just wondering what u use for weed control. Assume pre emergent herbicides. Whatever your doing is working well. Very clean. Thanks
Hey Chad! Yes we do. Pre-plant incorporated herbicide Ethalfluralin.
have you guys thought about going the self propelled digger route with these days of it being hard to find help and fuel prices?
how does one going about finding a job during harvest season? love the content!

I’ll start putting some links in video descriptions.
Dosen't Case combines throw the trash closer to the full width of the header? Is it pinto bean specific short throw?
It is a short throw, I tried bumping up the spreader speed and it didn’t change anything. It’s light material with a 45’ head
