- I have been told green combine never break down. Maybe we should run our red combine vs a green combine to find out once and for all. Everyone likes a little friendly competition, right?

When I was a kid, we all took turns staying with grandma and grandpa’s. From my grandma’s kitchen window, she could keep an eye on grandpa. If she saw him stop, jump down, she’d call one us to run a jar of extra sweet lemonade out to grandpa. When grandpa got his jar, he knew it was time to sit down enjoy his drink, then he could finish the work. Then we’d run back with any messages. Usually, it was give grandma a kiss from grandpa.
As always, Daddy Cornstar is charming, Cole is sharp as a tack, but today Cooper is the "Most Valuable Player". What a great and complementary set of skills you guys have. I've been around the block a few times but I'm amazed that I still learn something new with every episode of "Cole The Cornstar" that I watch. Thanks!
DC is so funny! "It's like a hiccup on the bump in the road." He reminds me of Yogi Berra. "It's like deja vu all over again!"
Thanks for all you do as farmers. You are a few farmers with RUclips that I watch, and you have taught me so much about this life. I wish I was financially able to retire to cover my family's need and come work with you all for free during harvest.
I don’t know how you guys deal with broken equipment! You’d think that a piece of equipment as expensive as your tractors and harvesters being maintained like you do that it would last a harvesting season. Poor fellow who doesn’t have sons or daughters to help keep the farm going all with their different talents. You Corn-stars are amazing! All the best for the rest of harvest season. I’ll pray for no more breakages, no more rocks etc!🙏💕🙏
I've said in a previous video that the farmers don't seem to make money. Others like equipment makers and sellers, seed companies and banks make money off of them.
They maintain their vehicles well yet still this ish happens. They lost all those beans. It may look like a little but when you add up the little spills that will occur etc that's money being lost. UGH!!
@@petranilla14 i agree with what you're saying howerver im sure they went and shoveled the beans up. As a farmer myself would never leave that much to rot. Yes you cant get it all but you try and grab what you can.
Love seeing wildlife walking around your yard. Here it was going so well and bam, you are broke and stopped. It still gets me the way you three pull together and get stuff fixed. All three of you work well off the other. Give that puppy a hug for me.
Boogie man, boogie man, boogie man!! Daddy Corn Star, you are the best!!😂
Sound to me like it was a mechanic mistake when you put the new elevator chain in and not the machines falt next time read your repair manual and put the shims and spacers in correctly the first time or take it to a better repair shop that knows what there doing .
Should keep a tarp handy to catch those beans, that or a old bed sheet.
You know it really dose not matter what brand thay all brake down thay all have problems that's just the way it is.
So impressed seeing the progress you have made since starting the channel. I've watched every videos and couldn't be happier for you and your family ❤️
D.C. you're the best . Each of you have amazing skills. But that Copper has grown up to be exceptionally talented. Let's not forget the friends and technicians in the mix. Throw in the ladies that put the meals on the table. An army marches on it's stomach.
I am looking forward to an analysis of how much all the recent "improvements" have worked out as to yield. I know the storms last year threw a kink into the numbers and made it difficult to judge, but I'm hoping this year will give a more positive outlook as to how the investments are working out.
When you buy second hand you normally get proublems as lot time the previous owner had troubles to and replaced them .even new you can get trouble had a case tractor new kept blowing the seal on the pto shaft .
I've got a green one, but not the shade of green you're thinking of!
Claas are very popular on this side of the Atlantic, and a very good combine (I have a strong dislike of Axial Flows, I had one, and it wasn't suited to our damper UK conditions!)
I think they were sold as Challengers in the USA at one time.
Starting to see a bit more claas over here. Defiantly more fendt lately.
Cole, if you think that you are having a really bad time with your Case combine, you need to watch Erin Holbert's latest video about their JD combine. Her father takes painfully meticulously great care of theirs, even Erin waxes it all of the time, he even has a JD dealership mechanic to entirely go through theirs every year telling them what needs to be maintained and replaced (he tags it all with blue masking tape and a note, every single part) and they spend a whole lot of money doing that to make sure that it never breaks down, yet it still does. Well, Erin in her latest video reports that their JD is broken down with engine problems and now the engine has to be removed at the dealership to find it. So, they are having to rent another combine for their soybeans and corn harvests this year. Apparently all combines of all makes have a lot of moving parts that are prone to breakage, even when meticulously maintained taken care of with kid gloves.
I would say this harvest has been going well for you guys. Breakdowns always happens whether or not its new or old. The weather has been treating you guys nicely and your yield has been fairly positive. I'm interested to find out if the extra chemical sprays and "extra precautions" are going to pay dividends this year because it's going to be a challenge with today's economy. Then again harvest this year can be different than next year. Farming life, what can you do?
I've seen just as many green combines broke down
I’ve had the same issue on my combine. If i shut the separator off with a full hopper grain will run down the loading auger in the grain tank and then proceed to fill the clean grain elevator until it’s full. Typically it burns the belt off, but once I bent the bottom auger. I have a green combine but it’s the same concept.
I found it amazing how often the new equipment breaks down!
I know farmers running machinery built in the 1980-90's that get through the harvest without a break down...
I grew up on older equipment like you’re talking about. It broke down too.
no break downs? Smells like Fake News 🙃
Yea older stuff breaks down even more
But your kinda conditioned to it and you expect it so you have more parts on hand
And ymif you've personally owned the machine for its while life you know what's going to break and you had it apart so many times yourself you know how everything works so you can diagnose it faster
Our neighbour runs an old combine, 35yrs older than ours and as far as I know he gets though harvest with less breakdowns than us but he also harvests 200ac and we harvwst 7000 so there's that to consider as well
Our grain cart tractor is an older new Holland with 8k hrs
Iv had that bloody thing apart so many times I know exactly where to bash the dash to rattle the engine harness under it to shake the dodgy plug on that harness to turn off the alarm that's trying to tell me the engine has failed lol
this is so cool to see an actual break down and what it take to get back running!!!
Congrats to Cole and Nave. I hope you have a lifetime of joy and happiness together.
What happened? They get married or something?
@@ronnydowdy7432 Yes, a few weeks ago. Nave posted a lot of wedding photos on Instagram.
@@NealB123 I don't use Instagram. Guess that's why I didn't know. Wonder why they want it a secret on Cole's channel? Is he ashamed of her? Lol
@@ronnydowdy7432 I've been wondering why he didn't say anything. I can understand if he didn't say the date for privacy reasons but why keep it a secret after?
I have a theory though. 🙃🙃
@@ronnydowdy7432 Cole is keeping his channel to farming.
well things break down when in use , we all get them and always at the worst time , good think you have Cooper he must saves you a lot of money he is amazing at what he does
Daddy Cornstar, the phrase "Boogity, Boogity, Boogity, let's go racing, boys!" was a phrase that Darrell Waltrip would use at the start of every NASCAR race that he announced. But he got it from Country Star Ray Stevens' album "Boogity Boogity" which contained the hit "The Streak". Some folks think the song says "Boogity Boogity", but it actually says "Look at that, Look at that".
That Copper is an amazing mechanic ,holy crap .
It's amazing to watch you all dance those huge machines around, processing vast quantities of crops; thank you for all you do.
It’s amazing to see the number of moving parts on a combine and they all have to work in synch. They definitely have more patience than I would or they are doing a lot of editing.
I sure agree with you and I'm guessing the alternative to patience with the machinery is to imagine 100 years ago when all of this work would require horse and hands ... probably enough hands to populate Western Iowa. Patience is sure enough a Core Competency in 2022.
Thats why they're called a combine
Because originally you'd first cut the crop. Then cart it in. Then a separate machine would thresh it, and a another machine again sorts the grain from the chaff
It combines many operations into one
And yea it have some very weird issues if things don't get along
I had a similar aged and sized new Holland
It was breaking the coupling that drives the seives every 20hrs of operation, had a few experts.look at it and none could figure it out, it would run fine then just violently destroy isn't self for no reason
They're a christian family, so I guess they will not swear a lot.
Or Cole indeed has to do a lot of editing. 😆
Brad W. They have patience
Combines and cusing go together...
Breakdown like that could be avoided if a dealer mechanic would be involved in the repairs and maintenance. Coop and Ryan are no doubt excellent mechanics. But it's those small details that snowball into something big if they aren't done correctly. It is expensive to have dealers inspect and repair those machines, but I feel it is worth it for a couple reasons. 1, the dealer should stand behind their work, so if something does happen and it is the fault of the dealer, your covered. 2, resale value of a machine is typically better if you have all the records of everything that was done to it by the dealer, or a list of things prepared by the dealer of things that may need repaired.
I'm sorry guys! I'm frustrated for you that the equipment breaks down! You all seem to to stay pretty positive while dealing with it though. I give you credit!
Bad maintenance program dude.
There’re used to it.
Can’t be sleeping in if it’s ready to go and you have to fix it first come Cole buddy
Don’t feel sorry for us Cole-I feel kind of bad for you guys having to deal with that kind of thing all the time, but I guess it’s part of farming 🥺
There was a hiccup in the bump of the road..
Gotta love DCS's Yogi moments..
Everybody has their specialty. Fun to watch
Does any of us older ones remember change sickle knives with rivets and hammer...
Cole, DS and Cooper, it’s amazing watching you work together as a team to get the combine diagnosed, fixed and back out in the field - very smooth, efficient and harmonious. I admire how hard you work and don’t complain versus some of the drama queen behavior that is so common these days.
Looks like there was a oops when you put it together last winter. I don't think any brand machine works long when you put it together incorrectly. Lesson learned, hopefully that's the last of your issues.
You should sell those broken sickles on your merchandise store. I bet you could sell them for a pretty penny.
At a premium if autographed
I am having a hard time with my mental state, and let me tell you if it wasn't for you guys i don't think I'd be here, suffer from PTSD from being in the army. Thanks sooooo much for being on this platform. and making these videos
Welcome home brother. And thank you.🤝🇺🇸
Keep your head up we appreciate you !!
Thank you for all your sacrifices to serve. Be safe and if you are ever feeling down please call 988.
Thank you brothet for your service , much respect here.
Theres a lot of help available
You’re welcome, Chris. 😇
The best cleaning combine is the Gleaner. I have ran Masseys and internationals. We finally bought a Gleaner after a few years of a custom cutter cut me grain. It was so clean and left hardly anything out the back. This year we grew seed wheat and when we took it to the mill they couldn’t believe how clean it was. We also took safflower to the and a again it was the cleanest they had seen. Try a Gleaner
Seconded
I have seen a few suggesting this. Myself included
That’s sucks! We’ve ran a 2008 8010 case ih with no major problems for several years. Most of the Case “flagship” combines are pretty bulletproof especially the newer ones. everything breaks down eventually tho
Amazing to see the wildlife so close, imagine what that will be like for your children, what a wonderful place to grow up!
Claas Lexion deserves your attention. Ziegler Cat has more technicians and fewer machines. Caterpillar dealers invented in the field service trucks. We rarely wait for long on a mechanic to
get to our farm. If you farm store grain the Lexion is the way to go. It will not pre grind your corn or beans and they are at much less likely to become damaged in farm storage.
We have 20 years of experiencing the difference a Lexion makes in grain quality growing food grade crops.
Ivers farms in Illinois bought 2 new 9250 Case IH machines and one has ran perfectly all season so far and the other one had a U joint fly aprt that drives the rotor knock a hole in the engine oil pan and only had about 4 hrs on it
Boogied boogied boo is the correct line.
you need a couple kiddie pools they are handy from catching oil leaks to catching the grain spills when you open things up
It's really refreshing to see a family that works so well together. I'm so sorry for all the breakdowns. You all are so great about keeping you equipment in excellent condition and clean. Hope things go better as you finish the fields!
Ahh, the joys of combining beans...
Seriously, it has been an interesting season. We have been drier in west-central Ia. so yields are a little lower here. Take care & be safe!!!
As far as the "Red vs. Green", I think the green combine is better, but I really like our tennant's red planter... never thought those words would ever come out of my mouth!
BTW Cole, in case you didn't already know it, but deer prefer/love freshly sprouted grass and wheat. It's very tender and sweet to them. We always put out winter wheat as a green manure/cover crop to draw them in.
Aside from the feeder belt, everything seems to be going very well - great job 😁😁😁👌👏👏❤️❤️❤️
Hey cole ,I’m a small hay farmer from minn.,,when I’m done at the end of the day, I use a hand held leaf blower to clean off dust and hay,, maybe you should try it on your equip. Ecspecially your expensive combine, hint hint
Y’all need a battery operated leaf blower to clean off that bean residue too help reduce the fire risk. Great video as always!
new chain this year, when they stretch and get loaded up the empty side buckles up and jambs as it goes over the top and the strain is released. I suspect thats the problem, big combine long elevators more stretch.
Wow! That harvest map kinda looked like a Iowa thunderstorm weather map!
I think daddy corn stars in heaven he’s so happy he gets to work with his boys you can just see the joy
Well atleast the local wildlife will appreciate the pile of beans you left them!
Growing up in ND we grew wheat. At that time we swathed the wheat and used pick up attachments to feed the combine. Anyway … broken cycle sections on the swather were a pain because ours were riveted on the cycle bar vs bolted like they are now. Good memories though. Congrats on the strong crop. Look forward to hearing about the program vs non program. Great vids!
Ahhhhhh it’s so cute to see Maverick and cuddled up behind Cooper
Seems with all the maintenance you do nothing should break down. All your equipment is so well cared for. They way you all stay so positive is an inspiration.
It was reassembled wrong when they replaced it.
“Looks like the neighbor cleaned out their junk.”
- Cole in the last video while looking at his neighbor not being broken down in his John Deere.
They did clean out they're junk and cole bought it
Even those things break down you guys always manage to figure out how to fix it. That's very impressive !
they didn't , they called a pro to fix it
@@edhondo4447 They do most of work themselves, but if it's something super complicated and out of their expertise then they call the pro in.
The pro is on hand … “Cooper” and if it’s out of his league- they will call the expertise 😁
Lmao cooper a pro. No. That combine is a bit out of there league
Both sons are excellent in their areas of expertise!! I know Mom and Dad are proud!!😊
Yea so awesome to see that y’all can keep the equipment running the mechanical skills are awesome
Amazing work! Your family is wonderful harmonious working machine! Love your video's!
It is possible that you purchased a class 9 machine that was used by a contractor? Those machines get used 120% full time of course . In South Africa the Axial flow harvesters generally have the least problems compared to other brands. Maybe consider a smaller new one which will do more hectares because of less breakdowns? Lower blood pressure all around as well
Maybe the previous owner got sick of fixing on it. And that's why the farmer traded it in Sometimes no matter what the color of the machine. It just breaks too much. And time is money!!!
You are sure quite the team there the way you work together and get the job done on fixing those pesky breakdowns. Great video once again!!!
I was just saying to my husband recently seems like you weren't having all these problems with your older former tractor. My thoughts and prayers go out to you. Enjoy your videos.
Once again thanks for the harvesting videos. Sorry for the breakdown I know how you feel I used to farm with my cousin and Uncle in South Dakota.
While I hate that you have breakdowns, every harvest season you learn more & more about machinery repair Cole. It's a good thing 😌 . Fascinating video. Thanks.
3:57 if that was corn… it would be a…corn dog… 😂😂😂
Yup those machines seem to be built on the light side imo compared to a Deere
I feel for you guys. My 2 blue tractors died this year, the new red tractor has spent 40% of its time broken this year and the new green tractor is on order. We’ll see soon. I was told they paint them red so they can be seen better when broken down on the side of the road. It’s a safety feature. 😮
Yeah green will fix it, lol. They are all junk these days.
That's farming ...new or used they break and when dad pulled up to the shop it was all hands on deck...my brother's an me were alert to every command he gave
Still been better off keeping the old one and adding a same size or up 1 class
Instead of going this big seems a bit ahead for you guys
Takes a village to maintain a combine.Keep up the good work.
Hey Cole, thanks for putting the beginning back in, I love it.
Nothing runs like a Deere!!
When you get to the elevator give Sable a shout out and picture for the camera.
Hey Cole..... I remember you guys having a similar issue last harvest, If I am correct Cooper had to straighten that bracket for the rod that bent last time too. I wonder if all of the normal vibrations are causing that bracket to fatigue again?, I would maybe suggest that after Cooper & DC pushed it back in place with the help of the floor jack that maybe Cooper should add a piece of flat stock across the top and weld it in for extra rigidity?.... Just a thought from a faithful follower. And as always thanks for bringing us along on your journeys...... btw nice seeing Ryan today too!
Cole, they all break. Yall are doing a Great job for all of us. Good luck the rest of the way.
I think you guys need a visit from Leg Arms at Welkers. He could probably fix that beast of a combine right up
Good job getting the deer video.
I miss that being on my grandparents farm having the deer come up in the yard had a doe that would eayeat of your hand. We put a blaze orange vest on her so no one shoot her. She lived for like 9 or 10 years if I remember.
If your gonna go green take a look at a claas lexion. We had a s770 Deere burn up this summer harvesting wheat and we demoed a claas and man what a smooth machine. That’s the direction we are gonna go in the future.
Hi bud from northwest Missouri a month ago you asked about a vine growing in your corn 🌽 it's called cucumber vine bud
Clean grain elevator seems to be a weak link on those machines. Seen on other channels and they have it happen often.
Thanks for the ride on the combine! Great video!
Looking back 2 years the improvements you have made and the results are amazing.
Seems you have doubled your output in the same time.
And with the Deer you are flying!
Combining and fixing
Great job with everything! Hopefully things start moving in your favor soon with equipment
Get yourself a Claas combine from Germamy instead and the problems are solved 🙃
After watching last year's harvest problems, It made me wonder if the wider bean heads are asking too much of the field. Its harder to conform to the contour compared to the narrower bean head. I think the combine design may not be mature enough. The OEM's compete with each other and may not do enough validation of new hardware before selling them. You got a used combine because the first owner had a bad experience and the dealer does just enough repairs to get the equipment sold.
You could have bought another used combine of the same model and vintage as your old combine and rebuilt it in the off season and run the two combines for less money than buying the one larger combine. Yeah it is more labor, but you could reduce roading and transport of the combines by having two. You could have multiple corn and bean heads and a lot of backup with common parts. If one combine broke, you could have a complete backup combine that could help you harvest while the weather is good. Then work on the other broken one when the weather turns wet. In other words, don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Lastly, the older combines have less emissions components to go bad. No Def fluid, No DPF, No Regen cycles. Just reliable engines and proven components.
I am partial to deere equipment, but even the international or agco stuff can have more reliable proven models than what you have.
Just a thought. Maybe have a battery powered blower in the cab of the combine so you can quickly clear off the trash stuck on the head. Note: I am not a farmer. 🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜
The fact you guys went on fixed it yourselves instead of waiting on the mechanics says alot. Cooper is super smart
Break downs are part of it. We have had good luck with gleaner if you have a dealer close. A lot less moving parts and simpler and do a good job. Ck out Brian’s farm videos he trade for one.
Combines were always a mass of bits just waiting for a excuses to go bang!!!
Modern machines are no different except there are even more bits to go BANG!!!!
Keep plugging away that's the farmers lot in life!
Good luck I will be thinking of you. Try not to pull your hair out!
I love how when cooper and daddy corn-star were working on the combine come was just pouring soybeans on maverick
Good video guys and a nice fix on the combine!!
Besides hitting rocks do you think that the sickles might be torqued down too tight and therefore putting undue stress(metal fatigue) on them?
They all break down. Doesn't matter what color, some just cost more for the,parts
you should get an electric leaf blower to use when you get out to clean the steps off, and the front of the combine... lol
For as young as Cooper is he's one intelligent, mechanically inclined, hard working individual. There's no way he won't be successful if he stays the road he's on. 👍
