Moral of the story is: "all of the tools, all of the time". I love your videos, thank you. You,; Ashtyn and yourself, are hard-working admirable people.
Mike, it's really admirable to see Ashtyn working in her current condition. She proves farmer's daughters are really strong and they are capable of giving the next Strong Farmers (warriors, kings, and …. As they only know how to fight with adverse situations and live life). Strong women are headstrong; they are the Gems of society. Mike, you are a real professional farmer. You picked up a rose. It has thorns but the smell and appearance are gorgeous (I mean you choose Ashtyn as your wife). All the best … watching you working and teaching is really admirable and enlightening!
I would go all the way from Romania to Canada to work for you. You and your wife are very cool, and I enjoy all your content. Keep up with the good work.
Mike I run an old 9600 and always pick up swaths and curse looking though the steering wheel too. I thought the newer combines would have sorted that out by now.
One of my favorite jobs was picking up oats I was the pick up man for Scott and was pretty much on my own don’t know why Scott did that but I enjoyed it big time
Should find a place on the Combine - where you can mount that self made tool for backing up the feeder... then it can stay with the combine all the time - and you wont have to worry about being without that tool if things get clogged so bad.. im sure you could find a spot where some rubber straps or some welded on mounting plates could be put to hold that tool.. seems like a good thing to have with combine like all the other tools kept near by.
Another pro of a well laid swath sometimes can save a grade because light rains will shed off. You can also combine later in "tough"(increased night moisture and dew) conditions. The tines on the pickup are also a wind guard that help prevent swaths from blowing up.
The tines on the pickup are just like the tines on the pickup heads on the old small square balers. I always figured they were there to control / even out the flow into the plunger on the baler. My ancient 1960s Massey baler has tines almost identical in length, they float on top of the hay in the pickup and seem to level and spread out the flow into the plunger in heavy windrows. Probably the same idea for controlling the flow into the feeder house on the combine?
I'm really surprised to hear that you don't have a dryer system or bins with air considering all the bins you have and the amount of acreage you Farm. Great videos bud.
Give Mike a million dollars and he will complain it’s too heavy. 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for being honest and not hiding what life is really like on the farm. Thank you for your videos!!
he would still complain, specially 2or 3x more even if it was something stupid that failed lol but ya can start with ''NOT JUNK'' and well try your best to NOT JUNK IT UP ... need to find the TONY STARK of farm equipmt?? lol
if any of you all are heavy machenery building types peeps, *I* am sure he has ''the perfect design'' locked up in his head... if someone is brave enuf to drag it out and onto paper and into a field... or 100 fields ;) just a guess tho ;) GUESS not asumption... I AM GUESSING he has ;)
2 knipex plierwrenches, and a 3-5 ft prybars can fix a lot of issues. A plasma cut socket welded to a 4way lug wrench + 2# 4 ft schedule 40 steel nesting pipes 1 5/8 inside a 2 inch would give you 7 ft of leverage.

Mike, you've all the right to be more than frustrated with that equipment and/or lack of support from them in finding a solution, assuming you've asked for their help.
Regarding the combine plugging in your last video , one of your subscribers noticed that the knives were according to them adjusted wrong. Did you get to check the knife settings.
The background end plugging? Oh yes... We have tried everything from Sunday.. The choppers have been upgraded on some of the machines to 2022s, which pitch the bottom floor up and is causing alot of the problems..new upgrades are not always a step ahead but 2 steps backwards 🤦🤣

Have run Massey with a similar feed accelerator for years. Chain with slip hook to accelerator drive pully. Other end of chain attached to pickup in front of header. Pull slowly backing up accelerator. 10 min later it is freed and you are combining again. Don't know if drive is as accessible as it is on the MF. Likely done this a half dozen times.
How do the new Holland CR series compare to these ideals? We do a bit of farming and elevator work and NH brings in the cleanest sample along with case. Lexion guys bring in what 2 s770s can bring but they can't set them right and the FM is so bad it plugs the leg.
You moving around the steering wheel reminds me when I was a kid playing formula one 2017, I had a racing wheel and chair but I could either sit closer and look over the wheel to see the track or I looked through the wheel for an entire 2 hours. (I did the seccond one)
That farmer is old school no huge payments on his machines so he's making money and not losing money. Farmers that run older machines thats paid off are great buisiness men.
olfa knife helps cutting plugs out. wink wink. from a cx operator. new holland has that wrench. Arnold innovations might make or could make a hydraulic unit.

Plugged combines are 99% always operator error due to pushing a machine to fast, hard or early into green or wet crop. You’ve got to know your machines limitations & not try to push its limits or you will plug.
They are primarily designed for flow control and to prevent bunching according to the pickup manuals. Yes they do also help in windy conditions. Aka why people call them wind guards.
Haha I agree I understand he has great service etc but you have to draw the line somewhere. I'm guessing seeing how he demoed the new 60 foot honey bee they have some arrangement worked out with the equipment they run because I would have switched already or least half and half so maybe they would get their shit together and design something better knowing they started using some other brand.

I would go all the way from Romania to Canada to work for you. You and your wife are very cool, and I enjoy all your content. Keep up with the good work.
The tines are wind guards for those 40 MPH winds during some harvest days so the swaths entering the pickup head don't blow to Winnipeg!
I love that they switched back to JD. And had less issues.
I love the learn and go together. Big reason why I love your channel.

can you use a single row merger/flipper to help dry out the swath with out loosing much?
No. Most crops will shell out too much if disturbed like that. There may be conditions where it is better than losing the whole crop.
