    So nice to hear an honest review instead of the usual "If it ain't green it's garbage" rhetoric that most people spit out who have never ran anything else. Great video, good luck with harvest

    That red machine is awesome. The tech seems to be a couple steps higher than the others. The steering wheel is almost a piece of art lol. Thanks for the great video, I think Massey has hit a homerun with that machine.

      I agree with you on all fronts. I love the steering wheel also.

    I have always been a Massey person, my dad always ran Massey and I still own 2 myself even though I don’t do nearly what I used to do! I like the new style.

    I've always felt that the more crap you have on a piece of machinery, the more that can go wrong. Ij today's World it's not nickel and dime stuff, it's thousands of dollars and incredible amounts of downtime. That's why I like the old equipment.
    I'm 81 years old and I grew up in the in 40s and 50s, so I know what it's like to do farming the old fashioned way, out in the open with no little bells and whistles, just getting the work done

    Do you have any sacks of green peanuts available to buy at your shop?

    • @PatrickShivers
      @PatrickShivers  3 місяці тому +2

      @@TheNewsouthoutdoors no. I have harvested all mine and am now helping my brother-in-law harvest his. I have looked into the green peanut market a few times but haven’t gotten in it yet. It is a very small market and requires the farmer to grow a specific peanut much different than the ones typically grown.

      @ yes. I was going to be coming back from seeing my grandson in Jacksonville Florida on Monday and would stop by if you had some. The last sack I got was from Silverhill Farms in Baldwin County Alabama. Thanks. I enjoy your channel.

      The 8S has slightly longer wheel base than a 7R but weighs slightly less. But is a good bit heavier than a 6R. Yes, 7R is closest JD comparison

    Patrick, thanks for all of your videos.
    Why no autosteer in the Massey-?
    Groundspeed for peanut harvesters is very slow.
    Why cant the guts of the machine be redesigned for faster thruput-?

      The Massey is equipped with Trimble guidance, but didn’t have an active subscription.
      It doesn’t matter if you’re pulling a 2 row or 6 row peanut picker it’s the same speed. It takes time to separate vines/dirt/peanuts
