Combining Oats with a Straight Cut Head on a John Deere 6600 Combine

- Back at home, we also grew oats. Despite the drought, our oats did fairly well. Some spots are pretty short, though, so Alan decided to straight-cut the oats instead of swathing them first. The oats yielded pretty well considering, and our heifers will enjoy them.

That was a really nice stand of oats you had there
Thank you for taking us along. It's always a pleasure to come and pay you a visit. God Bless
Thank god for farmers🙏🏻
❤❤❤❤❤
Great video, and who needs an X9 when you got a 6600. Nice to see some older machinery in action.
That shot with the straw walkers was awesome
I can't believe there's only 4. My MF 850 has 6
Thanks, I learned from your grand dad! Great job.
Great call on straight cutting your oats.Awesome old school farming!!
Sometimes the old tricks are the best on a small farm. Thank you for sharing and preserving some of those ideas. Please stay safe, and God bless.
Great job combining your oats Alan
Another very interesting video Thank you 😊😊😊
I love your videos. You have a beautiful family. God bless you all.
The 6600 is years away from being brand new but she’s still up to the task. You’ve got them in the bin so the straight cutting was the right choice. I’m sure your co-pilots were having a good time helping Dad combine.
Nice looking oats crop Alan
Hi guys, straw from oats makes the best bedding, and the oats are great for the horses.Great video. Take care ❤😊🇨🇦
Can i say the best bedding i know of is from barley.
@@finnrasmussen8153it works as algae control in ponds too
Looking in graintank your oats look to be yielding good.good video
With the weather conditions, direct cutting was probably your best option. As you said...oats in a windrow is a challenge if rains are frequent. Nice to see you've got them all cut.
I enjoyed the old combine and it looked like it was doing a good job. looks like your decision was spot on.
Good luck baling your oats straw Alan
Excellent job
Equipment getting greener and greener. Looks good on you. Oats looked good too.
Best regards from Indiana.
Some amazing closeups of the combine processes.
Good you got some rain ☺️ !!! Reminder this weekend is the Le Sueur County Pioneer Power Association show !!! August 25, 26, 27
thank you
A good dose of common sense and good old farmer know how can accomplish many things. Great looking oat crops. Seemed relatively weed free. Has the county fair event taken place yet?
Yeah, it ended on Sunday.
My 6600 was a loud hot dusty beast. Good times.
Great video Alan
Man I used to work for soed a mix of oats wheat&barley put grain in the bin and ground it for cow feed it was good
Lath sticks?!?!
Now, I learned something new today 👍👌
Been wondering about you guys! Thanks for sharing! Miss yous when I don't see anything for a week!
Thank you for feeding the world
Very nice job and God bless y'all
Smooth running 6 row header. Nice.
We always hired our oats out for custom combining. For a long time we only could get one guy to do it and the oats were always full of debris. We did finally get a neighbor who would do it for us and his combine did a much better job. Some day I would like to grow oats again, and buy an old combine to play with. On a side note, our local historical foundation has an annual threshing show and I had a blast 8-9 years ago helping around the threshing machine. Cleanest oats I have ever seen and that machine was over 100yrs old.
Yeah those threshing machines are amazing!
at 3:51............looking at that clean field of oats tells me spraying was a wise decision.
Thanks for explaining swathing in regards to weeds. Now I get why people do it. Makes a whole lot of sense. In the background your corn looks pretty nice. You getting in on the heat that's coming?? You may already have it today.
It's been pretty cool so far today, but it's starting to warm up now.
Nice video guys👍If that was a 6620 with a 216 flex head on it you would have my rig. Its been a good combine, and its good to see another one out there bringing in the harvest.
Here in England farmers have been struggling with wet weather trying to get the barley now wheat in had been a challenge, some fields around where I live have massive puddles in them and the ruts will take some sorting after the tractors have driven through it when the trailer was loaded
Where I'm from we have 3 days to cut oats, the day before there ready, the day there ready, and the day after there ready. LOL. Great video!!!!
Another great video
Another great video Jen,,, gives proper excuse to sit down and have a piece of rhubarb pie and a cold 🍻 beer or too
Thanx for reply,,, rhubarb or apple,, gotta flip a coin,, looking forward to the next one
I've never heard of the wooden stake trick but it could be a good one. I've heard of some farmers putting a steel rod in the grain and leaving it a while to see if the grain is heating in the center.
Love your video
Great video. Thank you for recording and posting this video of a rare crop harvest. We historically swathed 5 to 6 foot tall oats, sometimes only one way swathing and combining due to wind swirls and flattening. Best straw. Now everything is wheat or double crop barley and soy beans, but those bales nothing like golden silk oat straw squares. I always felt so strong baling oat straw, especially after a difficult, tuff alfalfa Summer preceding.
I can remember years when we would have to swath and combine one way, because of wind damage.
Great old combine thanks for sharing
Parabéns pelo vídeo. Cortei muita Aveia com jonn deere 55 aqui no Brasil, as vezes com aveia de um metro de altura muito palha,fora as buchas que dava na 55 .
Good video, hard to believe it is combining season already.
Always enjoy the content.
I always like them old style JD combines, I grew up around those kinds, have you ever seen an open station combine up Front before? I think my neighbor had one years ago, I remember when I was a kid that our be used to farm our land that had a gravity box like that and they take it to the elevator, i remember going there with their pickup pulling the gravity of box 🌄🛻🚜
Yeah I've seen them, but wouldn't want to run one.
There will be some great straw too!
You must be a great mechanic to get a Deere combine started, much less attempt to harvest a crop!
Really enjoy your videos
Man, I'd love to combine standing oats. W the constant rain and winds we had this year they're all down w quite a few flat. Just finished them, 8/23, lost at least half my yield. They're real light too. Cow feed , so that doesn't matter too much
I combined some oats for my neighbor a few weeks ago. 9400 combine and 920 platform, cutting them standing like you're doing, for the same reasons. Never did oats before, usually just my corn and soybeans. They were tall, and quite a few were down from weather, so couldn't pick them all up. It was interesting.
Yeah, we've had that trouble in the past, sometimes we could only go one way, so the swather would pick it up.
I've never combined swathed grain but I'm sure straight cutting that was the right idea.
Good luck with your oats in the bin. We swathed and combined our barley and hope to start oats soon. Seems we’re about two weeks behind you up here with yields very high this year. Drought seemed to help our oats.
Bet that 6600 would look great with a 20 ft flex head. Oh and maybe this year we get the uni and 6600 picking corn
I don't think we'll have any ripe corn this year, this drought has really been hard on the corn.
I use a 4420 John Deere combine with a 13 foot header to combine my oats.
Oats also makes great Cheerios and Oatmeal..... yummy
Some of it was really short!
Tks for sharing. Oats look good.. hope there good and dry. How is Miss Jenn? Hope she is feeling better? It's been awhile since we last heard from her.
She's doing good! She's at the state fair with Jessica.
Nice to see Alan embracing the green and yellow, more and more!
We never used to dry oats just move the pile about to let the air in and dry them out
Alan I did not know you owned a combine. I spent time on 2 different 95 John Deere combine.
This is my parents combine.
Anything is always better then nothing, how is youre corn doing, last week we did 4 cutting grassilage which had a great yield compared to the 3 , stay safe you all greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer
The corn is pretty good, considering how dry we are.
Hi Jenn how are you and mom doing??? Thank you
We're doing pretty well.
Do you also get a good yield of grasshoppers along with the oats?
My dad's oats had a better grasshopper yield, than mine did.
Does the closer of Hastings effect you at all?
No,we shouldn't be effected by that.
Love it get off brother
👀🙄🐾👍Great video A&J how's your maize looking?
Are affected by the creamery closing in Hastings Minnesota?
Corn is looking pretty good, considering how dry it is. That shutdown hasn't affected us.
@@trinitydairy Ok How far are you from Hastings
About 130 miles.
Are you guys still interested In the Oliver 88 tractor you mentioned a while back?
Yeah I would like to get one someday.
I always loved oats straw bedding Great video Thanks
Would spreading the oats out in the bin be better? Not as deep of a pile so maybe wouldn’t heat up as bad. Just a thought.
That's a good idea
You should have closed the sieve a bit and kept all those stems out. My dad would have freaked out if it would of looked like that lol
My grandpa was the opposite, he would rather have some stems, that risk putting oats out the back.
@@trinitydairy NO! If you know what your doing those 6600/7700/8820s can be set to where nothing get thrown out the back and still has clean grain. Before I retired we farmed over 2000 acres in Indiana. Hate to even guess how many thousand hours I've had in those older JD Combines. Listen to the return "Bottom right of your seat" Open it up and look at it. if nothing is returning then close your sieves a bit more. You need to have some coming back through the return. 90% of the time in oats if its throwing grain out the back it's because of your fan speed being too high not so much a sieve problem. But I get it, No more than you farm it really doesn't matter, not like you're filling 100k bushel bins like we were.
Can you explain the difference between a bean head and the head used for oats they look the same kinda.
I think they are the same.
@@trinitydairy thx
@ a loss why you would choose to swath anytime.
Swathing allows the weed seeds to dry, so they won't heat and spoil in the bin.
👍👍🐄🐄
👍👌❤️🇨🇦
Need to turn your blower up. Too much trash
We purposely turned it down, because the oats were light this year. If I was selling them I would have tried to get it cleaner, but not a big deal for my own use.
