What I find amazing is all the corn that is grown now days. Just about any land that can grow corn and been turned into corn fields...used to be a lot of pasture land around but that all gone now.
Great video! I think Ag equipment is the most fascinating, clever and challenging designs I have ever seen. Thanks for showing us how yours works and the maintenance - crop yield is done on your farm. Good job!
Weaver Cattle Company. So what do you use for bedding for your cattle then?.... lol. There probaly do what we do haul the stalk manure back where we baled.
Matthew Hoag if you like that you will like the video I did on harvesting Wholecrop on my channel a couple of weeks back. Check it out see what you think
In the 80s IH perfected the cutting of stalks with knife rolls. We've never had issues of "earpicking stalks". Imo John Deere has alot of add on stuff for reasons that they need to improve. Not hating on any of what you're doing because it all needs done for bettering the farm and ways you farm but don't be color blind unless there are not any dealers close 25 miles might be a ways away but for better products I would be willing to travel the distance.
If, ( as i suspect you didn't video ) y'all took the time to examine all of the frames and brackets and for damage while you were down this far ! Probably cleaned a lot of dirt/debris preventing future corrosion and aiding in keeping the bolts tight ! Sure seems like the new parts will reduce head shelling losses and " grain carry over" across the sieves by reducing the trash volume ! A ( relatively ) cheap field test of what y'all will be looking for in the future when you contemplate a newer combine !
Does the rolls and chain upgrade require more hp ?will they slow ya down any? I've pull a silage choppers and round balers all my life never been around a combine any at all good video thanks
You didn't show the installation of the new stalk rolls?? I think I saw something about those they have to be timed a particular way?? Would like to have seen how that works on a real corn head. Later! OL J R :)
I'm sure this conversion was expensive. How does it stack up cost wise verses running a stock chopper over the field. With the compaction factor aside cost wise how does it compare
Scott Hageman I understand that my question was how does the cost of this conversation compair to just chopping stalks taking out the factor of compaction caused by another trip across the field
the conversion wasn't just about chopping stalks, the brushes and chains will pay for the stalk chopping (hopefully) in corn savings. plus that corn head had lots of miles on it. it was in need of refitting to keep the harvest going too. so some piece of mind also. I would put some lexan panels around the top of the header to catch those ears that pop out saving even more corn.
In Germany we mulch the corn stock with a rotating knife below the Rolls. Maybe you want to look at a Geringhoff Cornhead? Keep up the good Videos and greetings from Germany
I am a Lobster fisherman in Nova Scotia, so corn harvesters are pretty new to me. I am still trying to figure out, how the husk(not sure of spelling) comes off, then all kernels come off cobs? I understand now the arms, I guess shear? the cob from the stock? I am guessing.
the snouts guide the stalks up so the gathering chains can grab them and pull the stalks in between the long rollers. the rollers are spinning as the stalk gets pulled up the rollers yank the stalk down against the flat plates. the ear pops off and the chains carry it up to the cross auger. the new rollers they installed were specially replaced to chop the stalks to aid in breaking them down before the next crop season. the kernels are shelled off the ear inside the combine. maybe the boys will get in there with the camera so you can see what's happening there.
Nice upgrade on the head. Nice of Andrew to help install

Thanks! As a non-farmer (I used to raise oranges, which is a LOT different) I finally understand how a corn head works.

good that you got Andrew there to help you out. lots of work but hope it pays off in the end for you.
Good visual on the difference between the two...thanks
Never been thst close to a corn head did not know there were so many things in it. Wow thanks.
Nice truck by the door!!!!
SO EXCITED FOR HARVEST!
I wonder what your corn fodder bales will look like after the stalks go through those rolls.
Weaver Cattle Company. So what do you use for bedding for your cattle then?.... lol. There probaly do what we do haul the stalk manure back where we baled.
When do you start harvest again? Has to be coming up soon?
Beans start Friday
From what Travis was saying, they're starting soybeans this Friday.
Matthew Hoag can start getting excited for it
Yup. More exciting harvest footage coming soon. We wait all year for it, you know.

Great Vid., never knew what that rig did, now it's improved ,good job!
Thats why I always liked an IH header. They worked so much better than a deere
glenn s not the ih corn headers.
So why have I seen JD heads on IH but never seen a IH head on a Deere?
pretty cool how these things work good job.
Thanks Ryan for sharing.....
Well now I know how a corn head really works!
Looks like ur head needs a overhaul big time , I think ur brother puts way more videos up lol
Pulling off the old, seized on stalk rolls is the most frustrating job on the planet. You gain a new vocabulary doing that job.
Gonna be interresting to hear how it perform during harvest

Great vid Ryan Smile More God Bless stay safe guys 👍
I never ran a corn stalk thru the stalk rolls. I used a hacksaw blade to set the clearance.
Just subscribed! Love your videos, keep it up man.

Thanks for nice video Ryan have good day
I love your combine
Year later, and I have to ask was it worth it? Did you notice an uptick in yield?
The chain rolls were to improve stalk degradation, which has gotten much better

kory league well with knife rollers you shouldn't have run over it with a stalk chopper so you'd save fuel and another trip across the field

Nice Job!!!
What's the approximate price - if possible for this fix - ouch
Is it raining down there?
You didn't show installation of the new rolls.
How are you beans looking?
They make a shreder that will put the corn stocks in a row for you to bale it up or you can chop it to..
Should help a lot with residue break down.
Time for a new combine I think
Yeah
You might have wasted money on the vt after seeing the stock get chopped up
you should make it a Polly snoots
$$$$$... them poly snouts are slicker than snot but they are salty when you have to pay for them...
Later! OL J R :)
hey when will you start picking corn and soybean Ryan
I was at the farm day
Heeey!
Cool, One should use eye protection though.
Put some damn eye protection on when using the air hammer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cast can shatter.
