@@shaffershomestead Understand that feeling. First time I operated a combine on a hillside an old Gleaner G, it was a little intimidating. It was a 7% slope. My dad calmed my nerves by having me run it always with the engine uphill, after a few passes I felt better.
What did you ever do about the hydraulic pump you just can't leave it like that it has to be fixed I think you're wasting too much time unloading so often I think you should take it up that's what those things are there for so it can hold more I'd take it up and see what happens and you're just crawling you could go a lot faster than what you're going. One other thing can you get bigger heads for that combine cuz that two row is so slow even a four row would be better or a six row.
Understand. Sounds like you got more maintenance to do before she's up to snuff yeah I'm sure those belts aren't cheap so you're probably going to have to do them one at a time or something but yeah at least she held in there for the first year here.
not too steep at all id be concerned with a big hopper,but Id pick it empty for sure
Good to know thanks
Those bin extensions usually would also have an auger extension installed too, but that may not have been offered for the 3300.
You can get shop manuals online for the JD3300 and Operators Manual. It would be beneficial for. Like the issue with the hydraulic pump.
I do have the op manual for it and it has been helpful!
If your hill slope in this field is 10% or less you should be fine driving the combine across it. IMO I would keep the engine on the uphill slope.
I think since the cab isn’t centered on the machine it makes the feeling worse depending which side you’re going across the field

I’m sure my pap ran his 4400 and 4420 on that field and never had a problem , maybe next year I’ll give it a shot!
Had the same problem with my 4400 you need tied that pump
To me it looks like an opportunity to buy a 6620 😉 but maybe a gravity wagon first
Yes on the belt slipping
head needs lower to the ground snout are high take it from old farmer
I thought that also.
Just remember tractors and combines have been rolling over it for years it's scary but it's ok 😊
That was my thought! But I think this year till I get comfortable in the machine it’s best to just not chance it
👍👍👍
What year 4 gen dodge is that nice truck
2018!👍🏻
Cool

I wasn’t filling it crazy full because either clutch or belt would slip
@shaffershomestead They made 3 row heads for it. You can switch to 30 inch rows.

Definitely glad it held up!
Oh my god the anger really older combine didn't have a boot on anger
Auger.
It did have one at some point but it was taken off I’m assuming
@@shaffershomestead you need too get a for row cornhead
Yup, but gotta start somewhere
@shaffershomestead will a long of a cornheader that wood start u out good
Go sideways up and reverse!!!
Tried that , it wasn’t planted that way so you end up knocking more over than it’s worth
@@shaffershomestead Copy
Are you going to grow soybeans next year?
I thought about doing beans but I may not
That isn't that steep we do alot steeper ones no problems
Good to know!
