Whenever I come across farming, it takes me down memory lane. Losing my farm to the hurricane Florence on September 2018 here in North Carolina dealth a huge jab. But with an influx of $125k monthly made my family happy one more time
Every farmer has bad days if they say they dont they are lying,so dont beat yourself up about it even the best maintained equipment can fail just glad to see your back up and running again🎉
This is exactly why I always try to slow down during unloading. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of harvest, but that’s when things can go wrong fast. If you’re not careful, you can damage the unloading system or overload the truck, which leads to more problems down the line. Looks like you're paying the price for those shortcuts now! A good rule of thumb-slow and steady wins the race!
That augar looks repairable to me shear is very clean and did not appear to damage any other adjoining structures/parts, infact once repaired augar should be more robust than OEM part. Ought to have it fixed for a spare if I am correct. If you do not have the skills take broken augar to a machine shop and get quote to repair and you will have a spare in the unlikely event ypu need again it's yours and you have already paid for the core many times over. Good luck.
Wow Zoe! I stated on your last video that you work very hard, what a understatement that was! Hard working just doesn't cover your devotion to your farm, not at all. I really like your sense of humor, very cool. Love your videos, thank you for making them. Harvest will get better in the days to come, I'm sure of it.
Good job on the video editing and the combine repair. I'm 76 and never worked on the big machines. Our combine was a pull-behind Oliver which was a tough machine. Only had to repair a bearing and replace knives on the sickle bar. Interesting to see the auger repair. Best of luck with the rest of your harvest.
You are not bad farmers. You keep your equipment well maintained. When running farm equipment over time things are going to eventually wear out and break. It usually happens during harvest season when you're busy. You're lucky to have found a replacement auger. We had to replace the bubble up auger in our New Holland TR96. Found one in the middwest.A man who worked for another person we farmed with drove his truck to go pick it up.
Good service by your dealership, my luck were usually waiting on parts for at least a day, nice to see you were up and running the next day. Just by looking at your equipment I can see it's well maintained. In the end there's only so much you can prevent ahead of time, somethings just happen. All you can do is deal with it and move on. Seeing that broken auger makes me wonder if there's a weak spot in the construction of these parts by Deere. We broke a transmission input shaft in our 6310 almost just like that auger, picked a roundbale up shifted into gear and was letting the clutch out at an idle and it let loose. Ripped the tube right off the back of the yoke.
@@farmwithzoekentDefinitely, seems like the tubing should be heavier, in both cases it wasn’t the weld that broke but the tubing itself. I was just glad mine was just the driveshaft. I’ve heard of some letting loose and tearing out hydraulic lines, wiring harnesses, and breaking the front cover of the transmission.
Zoe I sure don’t miss days like that ! It brings back memories for sure ! Looks like a Great job by your John Deere dealer 👍 it’s Good to see your up and running again . I think you guys do a great job maintaining your equipment , you’re just going to have those days 😞 they just don’t make things like they used to ! Be Safe Out There . Oh should I send you a couple pairs of new jeans 👖 without holes in them ! lol 👍🇺🇸
Just started watching you a few weeks ago! Great content. Remember back in the spring seemed like you guys around Bucyrus were always getting hammered with rain thus the drowned out areas. Stay positive,you’re doing great!
Sorry about the misfortune with the Auger. We all know these things can happen it's just a matter of when. Fortunately the problem was resolved and got you back in business. It's a shame to see the damage done by raccoons and water washing the corn out in areas. You're becoming a great farmer ZOE so don't let these negative days get you down. I believe in you just like others! March on girl you've got this! Cheers from Laurel, Delaware USA.
Oh ,, and ran a 1946 corn picker through 35 acres filled all my cribs (3) and cleaned the picker for next season ,,, before my first beer 😘😎😎😎😎😎😎😎 and 2,,,3,,,4 you get it lol,lol, but your a beautiful looking farmer and I’ll keep 👍ing
Zoe, you made a comment about suggestions other people have said about how to have dealt with a loaded combine. No matter what never road a loaded combine in road gear. The final drives are not designed to be loaded in road gear. The final drives could snap and cause a serious accident. Let alone the load that the hydrostat would go through. What you did was FINE! Make do with what you have and get the job going again. Too many arm chair quarterbacks that probably dont even farm in the first place.
Y'all aren't bad farmers at all, machines sadly don't last forever and after a while they wear out.....sometimes it's a little thing, often it's a much bigger thing. When I came across this video from you this morning, I said to myself.....hmmmmm.....this sure looks familiar! During our harvest we had a similar situation with the 9750, all of a sudden it wouldn't unload, sheared bolt after bolt after bolt. Turned out to be a piece of the horizontal unloading auger had come off and got lodged in there. Luckily, we had a portable auger with a swing-out hopper for unloading trucks into the bin and ran it into a grain cart. By using a combination of plywood, old seed bags and big chunks of cardboard we were able to keep our pile on the ground very small compared to yours. As the mechanic was fixing that part, he also discovered a section of the actual unloading auger was also needing replaced. The nearest one was a a little over an hour drive north so first thing the next morning I went on a little road trip to pick it up. That one ended up being down a little over 2 days but fortunately the 9770 kept going. ( I'm just a retired, part time hired hand but grew up on a nearby farm myself so I get to help out with lots of stuff from planting to harvesting and even baling hay.....farming is still in my blood. )
I replaced my auger 2 years ago 1500$ broke the same way yours did, I think from driving around with auger out and full of corn is hard on unload auger
We had to empty a hopper without the unload auger once. We had a auger for under a semi that was low enough to get in under the combine and auger the corn into a wagon as it fell out. With a couple of pieces of scrap ply wood to direct the corn into the auger we spilled almost no corn. Took us longer to get into repairing the combine with having to take the auger out to the field but the cleanup was a lot easier.
There's a system that you can have retro fitted to the combine, that'll empty the auger, even if you have half a grain tank full. It's something standard on the new John Deere's. Millineal farmer had that system out on his combines. He said its so much better now. No more ripping shear bolts, because of the extra weight in the auger.
C'est incroyable de voir de telles machines en panne... Ces machines ont des prix de dingue...et ca manque vraiment de fiabilité. Sans compter les pertes de temps sur les chantiers ni même les prises de têtes, je connais tout cela croyez moi...
We ran an 450 bu. of corn back into the corn head that way after the left side of the cart sank 5 ft deep (old fox hole?) and we didn't have a little wagon that could still get under the auger.
a suction pressure grain blower to put on the tractor is good and not to be missed. then you could empty the grain tank with it and directly into a truck
Operating equipment is always a balancing act. How long do you keep something before you replace it? How much down time do you accept? Everything from a lawnmower to a Toyota to a dump truck to a combine is going to wear out at some point. I always chuckle a little at people who say they're going to drive something until it wears out. What point is that? Everything can be fixed. As a business owner you have to make the judgement on what amount of downtime due to breakdowns you will accept. Everyone would like to run new equipment all the time but very few people can afford to do that. You want to keep something as long as you can so you don't have to spend $$$ to update. However, eventually a piece of equipment will either start costing too much to fix or it will break so often that you can't get your work done in the window of time you are given to get it done. That's when you start shopping for real.
Been there done something similar last fall! We stripped the drive teeth off the vertical unload auger which also did the same to the gear box shaft. Not a fun or cheap repair at all!
When something breaks in a hidden area. it's impossible to see a fine line crack with fatigue. Sounds pathetic but your lucky that's all that's broken. Keep looking forward.
I'm sorry this happened, and I'm sure it cost you an arm and a leg.1600 separator hours doesn't seem like all that many. I know everyone uses bin extensions, but maybe the extra stress over time causes issues. Who knows, right? I feel for you. Sometimes it pays to have a few feeder pigs around for messes like this (LOL).
That’s an area on the combine that you wouldn’t see all the time. You would have to be tearing down the auger every season to catch that. I don’t know any farmer who would be tearing down the unloading auger if there wasn’t something wrong with it, that made me have to tear it down. I don’t think that makes you look like a bad farmer, and anybody else who knows anything about that kind of machinery knows better! Keep up the good work girl, you are an amazing young woman.
Hello.. Congratulations for all the hard work you do/do, and all the rest. It is not so obvious that a girl does this beautiful and hard work but you are really good. For the rest, as other comments have already posted here, these are things that happen if you have machinery of a certain importance,, Keep it up. Beautiful and good you are. Thank you, and greetings from Italy..
Like anything in life, things will brake down and that's one of may things that makes farming a high risk business. Most people think that it's just throwing seeds into the ground, harvesting and making money. Farming is as labor as well as maintenance intensive with long hours most city folks have no idea what it takes. Farming is as risky as playing the stock market or going to Las Vegas.
You can take the absolute best care of your equipment, do al the maintenance as scheduled, and unexpected and expensive breakdowns will still happen,. You deal with it as best you can and move on.
If I may offer a suggestion. On that "dumped" corn, bring in a generator and a shop vac or, a battery operated shop vac, will make your life a lot easier. As a retired farmer myself I'll say, JD isn't what they used to be, their quality has really suffered over the past several years. Tis why many are switching to either Agco combines or New Hollands and NH combines have always been top notch, same with Gleaners.
Don’t know if you have your combine inspected yearly if you do the tech should have caught that. I have about the same about hours on my s660 and I replaced the exact same auger that you did by the tech recommendation after the inspection. I thought oh know don’t use a tarp the combine will clean the dirt and debris out of the spilled corn.
I had to empty the grain tank out like this a few years ago and stuck a a piece of cardboard up in there to make a chute and shot it into a skidsteer bucket and dumped the corn into a truck as i emptied, i didn't hardly have anything on the ground.
I know everyone is a expert on what you should have done but in the time it would have taken to set all those other options up you can just shovel up the corn in the same time.
You need to get the clutch system for your auger it shuts off the cross auger to your spot is empty and when you overload it then I'll just starting when you put it back together is your cross auger not your unload auger
Im not sure where my comment and others went with all the guesses on the price. Im pretty sure mine was 36 or 3900. Whatever the cost its fixed, none of your crew got hurt trying to do it yourselves. ❤
I'd see if someone can bu8ld an attachment that you can put on instead of the header to dump into. When I lived on our farm we built an bucket type attachment that we could dump grain into the combine
Don’t feel bad about your equipment not starting. When you look at must run emergency generators you will see they have block heaters, batteries on trickle charge, they are run monthly and put under load for an hour each month.
Them taking JD taking the skills a Farmer need to know blows my Mind....A really bad Business Model /sigh....Kick off guys their Greed should Rule over You "Our Beautiful Farmers"....Much Love from the UK....You have all inspired Me.
it doesn't look like bad maintenance, it looks like something got used and wore out, not like there's a regularly serviced component in that auger tube. And besides accidents are called accidents because there NOT pruposessss
All machines break, new or old. My 1978 Gleaner L2 combine is dead in the field with a blown Dampener plate, a thing between the combine engine and everything else.
Too bad you don't have a pickup truck pull dump trailer handy, that backhoe could scoop and dump into the dump trailer easy, then haul and dump into the auger pit.
Whoa I don’t know if John Deere has a mod for your combine I like spending others money oh the mod is when you shut down the unload function it shuts off the main bin auger and allows the external auger to clear the unload tube so there’s no load on that auger on the next unload cycle it’s supposed to save the shear pins and belts . I don’t know if that was the cause of the failure might have contributed maybe talk to Zach the millennial farmer u tuber he had one installed bye
Well I had a $65,000 unexpected transmission replacement this spring. It’s less of putting money back for repairs and just giving up hope that I’ll ever pay my loans back early 😅
I would not say bad farmers just normal farmers Everything brakes Know one uses battery maintainer especially on electronic engens And it's a backhoe it's supposed to have dirt on the floor
Whenever I come across farming, it takes me down memory lane. Losing my farm to the hurricane Florence on September 2018 here in North Carolina dealth a huge jab. But with an influx of $125k monthly made my family happy one more time
God bless you more abundantly for your generosity
But then, what do you do? How do you come about that in that period?
It is the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. Thank you Jesus
Thanks to Mrs Kathleen Mary Vella

Nuh...Your not bad farmers. It's just machines....your either in them or under them. I really admire what you do. Your a GREAT Farmer🤗
Does the warranty cover the broken auger? Great video.

When there is so little hours on the combine I was just wondering if there was Warranty still on it and if it covered the cost of the auger ?
Lifting the snouts gets you closer to the feeder house!
You never know what's going to break when it's in the shop.
Facts 😂
Just wondered if you support right to repair on your JD equipment? Seems it’s growing and JD is worried!
Like anything in life, things will brake down and that's one of may things that makes farming a high risk business. Most people think that it's just throwing seeds into the ground, harvesting and making money. Farming is as labor as well as maintenance intensive with long hours most city folks have no idea what it takes. Farming is as risky as playing the stock market or going to Las Vegas.

Don’t know if you have your combine inspected yearly if you do the tech should have caught that. I have about the same about hours on my s660 and I replaced the exact same auger that you did by the tech recommendation after the inspection. I thought oh know don’t use a tarp the combine will clean the dirt and debris out of the spilled corn.
There are days it doesn't matter 🎉you do things break.
Next time you might check on getting a seed tender and catching your hopper as you dump it out the bottom.
Yes our mechanic suggested that too, definitely would do that next time… really hoping there isn’t a new time anytime soon lol
I had to empty the grain tank out like this a few years ago and stuck a a piece of cardboard up in there to make a chute and shot it into a skidsteer bucket and dumped the corn into a truck as i emptied, i didn't hardly have anything on the ground.
I know everyone is a expert on what you should have done but in the time it would have taken to set all those other options up you can just shovel up the corn in the same time.

You need to get the clutch system for your auger it shuts off the cross auger to your spot is empty and when you overload it then I'll just starting when you put it back together is your cross auger not your unload auger

I posted the same thing on Facebook? Maybe you commented there? I don’t delete comments unless they are mean, or could be a glitch!
Just remind yourself no one got hurt!!!
Next time you could pick up the tarp with the backhoe on the back of the backhoe and place it in the truck.
привет, на больших оборотах двигателя выгружал, вот итог
I'd see if someone can bu8ld an attachment that you can put on instead of the header to dump into. When I lived on our farm we built an bucket type attachment that we could dump grain into the combine
Wish there was a way to block off the grain tank to drain the vertical
Sure hope there is a warranty on the 660
Don’t feel bad about your equipment not starting. When you look at must run emergency generators you will see they have block heaters, batteries on trickle charge, they are run monthly and put under load for an hour each month.
Thanks for the video

Be great if you had a bin vac system to just suck it out of the tank into your trailer.
it doesn't look like bad maintenance, it looks like something got used and wore out, not like there's a regularly serviced component in that auger tube. And besides accidents are called accidents because there NOT pruposessss
You breakdown out in the field and have a nice slab of concrete????
No need to apologize about your equipment that's farming things break constantly
Yeh if your running them rough or don't keep your maintenance up big horse, no farmers "constantly " breaking stuff that's maintained
@@kiboshkooks I've worked on plenty of farms that maintained their equipment and things still break its the nature of the business
That unfortunately is farming Mr. Murphy always picks the worst time to make his appearance. Best of luck with the rest of harvest!
1600 hrs not good for John deer but you have now educated the other owners.

Too bad you don't have a pickup truck pull dump trailer handy, that backhoe could scoop and dump into the dump trailer easy, then haul and dump into the auger pit.
Whoa I don’t know if John Deere has a mod for your combine I like spending others money oh the mod is when you shut down the unload function it shuts off the main bin auger and allows the external auger to clear the unload tube so there’s no load on that auger on the next unload cycle it’s supposed to save the shear pins and belts . I don’t know if that was the cause of the failure might have contributed maybe talk to Zach the millennial farmer u tuber he had one installed bye
Sorry for ur misfortune. What was the total cost of parts and labor. Again sorry what happened
$3822
Oh no worries. Shit happens and it seems like it always has to happen at once at the worst time.
Like they say, it’s not as glamorous as they make it out to be in the movies……boy that sucks…..is that Truland out of Napoleon?
Yes!
Wow how does that work do you try and put money back for repairs that's cost has to be really expensive
Well I had a $65,000 unexpected transmission replacement this spring. It’s less of putting money back for repairs and just giving up hope that I’ll ever pay my loans back early 😅
A crap load of money spent on something green ,, but hey your chin- ups looked great 😎
Where is your farm?

What happened with big trimmers tractor
Just wondering if anyone had a grain-vac ? Some do for emptying brain bins.
You are Very Beautiful Lady and a very Hard worker.
I would not say bad farmers just normal farmers
Everything brakes
Know one uses battery maintainer especially on electronic engens
And it's a backhoe it's supposed to have dirt on the floor
What caused the damage ....
Why not just dump it straight in the semi with the backhoe?
Why can't you have some rest
