    Watching little man riding in the tractor reminds me back in the late 80s early 90s riding in John Deere 4455 picking peanuts then he would fall back roll peanut hay until midnight

    Good Lord' s Day to you and family.Was fortunate to get a glimpse of you at Moultry,question, how often on the pick up tines for the harvester do their life is down in the sandy before rep lacing them?Being down in that environment do you get a season or less out of them . Thanks for the video's.

      Depends on how you run your head. If operator runs it to low you’ll replace 4-7 a day. If you run it to high you’ll roll the peanut vines like tumble weeds. So far I’ve broke 3 this season.

      Yes. It doesn’t take much to pull a peanut picker. You can easily operate one with a 100 hp tractor.

    How many acres of butterbeans?
    Cotton prices are not looking very promising, so....who knows?
    Also....just curious but will you be harvesting them with a machine or with migrant labor?

      @PatrickShivers 5 місяців тому +1

      That video was released back in October. I had an acre and a half of fall beans. My main season is spring. Acreage varies from 2-25 per spring. All machine harvest. I have multiple videos detailing the process.

      1963 GMC C20. I purchased the 2500 single cab Chevy with 6.0 with the intentions of swapping the 63 body onto that chassis. I like the 2013 so much though that I hate to mess with it. Everything works on it and other than the headliner everything still looks brand new on it
