I plugged that area this year too in a green oat swath. Luckily that's in a newer 8600 Lexion. Much easier than in yours tho, that access panel in the hopper is much bigger. 1 big panel as wide as the impeller. And you can switch the cylinder into low speed for more torque from the cab, that is nice. Biggest problem tho is they re-did the impeller drive belt and gave it far too much wrap around the drive pulley so the belt will snap way before it'll slip. Snapped 2 new belts before I got it free again.
The John Deere S Series combine has to be the worst combine on the market. Anytime the salesman said he wants the demo lexion or fendt against an S Series I laughed because that was going to be a walk in the park. We had an 8600 with an 18-row chopping corn head in some pretty tough conditions rubbery cob, high moisture corn ,wet stalks with snow on it within a few hours we had a green tank sample that looks really good we had very minimal losses and we are going about four miles an hour, across the road was it John Deere s790 with the same head and two and a half was the absolute maximum speed.
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 Well this was my first year on a Lexion, we upgraded from Deere 9770s. So possibly even worse than a S series. I'm way north of you, up in Canada, there's very little corn here. Mostly grains and canola. We had a very wet spring so a month late with everything. That made for a very challenging fall, all the grain was dry and ready, but the straw just would not dry down. The newer lexions show straw moisture as well as grain moisture. The straw moisture sensor tops out at 40% and it sat there pretty much all harvest lol. Definitely a good year to have switched to Lexion 😬
It has been a very nice fall! I don't know where my bean yield is. When you're walking through the field you're like yes these are normal 30 bushel beans but they're just not adding up in the wagon.
We have yet to have a killing frost here yet, got some beans still pretty wet stems that just lay on the cutterbar. I couldn't take it today and quit and took a nap😆
fancy plugging the header (that's what we call them in Australia). I've done that more than I care to remember. The difference when I do it, is it's 40c outside and the flys are going about 2 tonnes per Ha and it's just not very nice.
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 Let me know when you start corn with that beast, if I got time I will run over with the side x side and get some footage of it.
No they are not. I remember being out in central Minnesota and I had a call that they had the combine plugged, so there you are laying on the straw Walkers with your feet higher than your head on a sheet of carpeting to take some of that pinch away from the straw Walkers to make it halfway comfortable. They plugged the beater behind the cylinder just like I did here so worked like a animal got them unplugged and then got cleaned up and still made it in time to the Twin Cities to make a wedding! That was a rough day.
That's a pretty good story. With the jokester you are, I'm not sure I can believe you but then again, not sure you can make up that kind of story, lol.

I've never plugged a combine !
I've never ran a combine!😂🤣👍 Thanks for sharing Jon!👍
Literally Same thing as baler or chopper. of lots of power packing twisted up grass into a pinch.
That's the nice thing about my old F2 and the M's and L's, just open the stone door and fire it up, close it back up and away ya go😆
Thanks again Jon. We plugged the APS on our 570R in canary seed. It wasn’t too bad to clean out being right up front with lots of access points

Oh man, you are living my dream! 8600! Had a couple 8700/8600 demos for guys and that was fun!

Hope it treats you well!
I'll remember this if I've ever got a plugged Lexion. The last few days sure have been nice if a guy had combining to get done.

Good job 👏

That's no fun. Rubbery green stems. Yuck
i have a 2002 470 lexion with a f30 head for sale just south of lacrosse,wisc.
What a joy!🤦♂️
It's one thing to unplug hay from a baler it's another to do it in a combine. LOL
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 I wasn't jealous 😂😂😂
Should there before a video "How to PLUG a Lexion combine"??🤣😂don't mix up the order too much😁
Ha, you see it coming across the header, your brain says this isn't good, but it doesn't say to shut off the separator. Lol

Ugh, nope.
I would have sticky pads on my hat catching Flys that buzz me!!
Dang that grain tank looks big in the video. How many bu it hold? Where's the harvesting clips?
When I got time I'll stitch together a cheap Harvest video. I don't think it's too far from 300 bushel

Yeah! Only 8 row head this year, have to go 8mph just to warm it up.
Anyway you look at it, a plugged up combine is not fun.
