John Deere 6600 Combining Oats/Raking Straw With Draft Horses/Square Baling with JD 336 Square Baler

  • Once every couple of years, the dusty old John Deere 6600 Combine gets awoken. This year, Alan's parents and Alan have oats to combine. Alan's Dad starts the process by swathing the oats with a New Holland Swather. After a couple of days of drying, it's time to start combining. It was a race against the rain that suddenly appeared on the radar. Alan was running the combine, and soon there was a hopper full. Leonard then grabs the International 706 and Minnesota Gravity Box to unload the oats. After that, Alan takes off combining again, and Leonard pulls up to the Owatonna Grain Elevator and begins to unload the oats into the grain bin. Just as Alan was finishing up, the raindrops started to fall. He finished just in time and pulled the combine into the shed as the rain really let loose. After a few days, the straw was nice and dry. The Draft Horses get to work pulling the rake. Then, it's time to start square baling. The Allis Chalmers 200 is pulling Leonard's new to him John Deere 336 Square Baler. It didn't take long to fill the kicker wagon. The next load of straw showed off Alan's brother, Paul, and his ability to make catching a square bale really easy. Lastly, the straw gets put up in the hay mow. It was a busy few days, but the oats and straw all got put up dry and will be appreciated this winter!

      First year we got a thrower we only had one flatrack converted to thrower racks, so we ended up throwing the bales onto the flatracks and someone had to build the load. My dad got hit with a bale and knocked down, dislocated his hip and years later ended up getting it replaced. It always hurt him after he got hit. It was a Massey #9 baler with a #22 thrower pulled by a Massey Super 90. It really fired them back.

    A lot of good camera work to catch all the action! This brought back a lot of memories. Dad used to have about 10 acres of oats for hog feed ingredient and the straw for the hogs and in the dairy/calf barn. We had a lot of very similar if a little smaller/older equipment. I could almost smell that fresh threshed oats dust!! Don't miss the itch of it for sure. Stacked small squares on the rack behind the baler too. After the field was baled off, then it was manure pile cleanup week! Come home from school the last week of august and drive the spreader tractor a couple of hours every day. One big pile down the hill from the diary barn, smaller pile behind the hog barn, and then the cattle shed.

    Hi guys, glad to see you are getting some combining done. We use an auger to put our grain in the bin but that elevator goes really smooth. If it’s starting to rain there , it is because I cut hay here 😅 We use to leave our straw out and hope it gets a few rains, that way the straw gets softer. It was better to shake out under cows. Great video, take care ❤🇨🇦👍

    Yes, it can be done but you have to recalibrate your sprayer for using less psi from your pump so the spray isn't driven all the way down to the small alfalfa plants under neath.
    In the 1980's I sprayed for 5 farmers besides my own and occasionally sprayed oats fields under seeded with alfalfa.

      No it's a noise in the transmission, I think a chipped gear. I don't think we have katydids here.

      Because it was made by a little Swede. Actually it is meatballs made in a cream gravy.
