  • It’s time to harvest oats! The Combine being used is a John Deere 9770 STS, and man does it cover ground fast. It’s amazing to watch it inhale the crop especially with the amount of green vegetation below the oats. We hope you all enjoy the video, thank you for watching!

    Whatever you paid to have that combined it was well worth it, he did a great job. There is no way I could have cleaned the oats up that good putting all that green in. Hope the oats paid for the combining.

    I wish we had gravity boxes. We used a 1939 Chevy 2 1/2 ton that had questionable brakes and we had to back up the barn hill to the elevator. The oats bin in the barn was 12x20 and 6ft high, with boards for the doorway (yes, they were numbered also). Of course, leveling it off as it filled was a real chore especially that last foot or so from the top. Dust and oats done the shirt, pants and shoes - great memories. Lol

    I think what I love about this farm and this family is how the have successfully blended modern farming (when necessary) with that golden era of mid century farming. This makes me nostalgic for an era of farming that was largely over by the time I was born in 1988

    This makes me homesick for the farm. We always grew oats on our farm because it was an important ingredient in a lot of our livestock feed. Wasn't much of a cash crop for sale. The straw made great animal bedding and it was a great leadin crop for alfalfa or clover hay. I don't see much oats in the field anymore.

    That John Deere combine combines a hundred times faster than my Dad’s old Allis Chalmers 60 with a bagger. But we only planted 3 to 5 acres a year and combined that amount for a couple of neighbors. I always bagged while Dad ran the tractor. If Dad was busy, I ran the tractor and bagger my self! Off and on the tractor and combine a million times! Never had to go to a gym! Great video! Thanks!

    Hello! I watching your films from Switzerland. I am impressed from your hard work every day. You indicated that you have a small diary fram with 115 ha. Here in Switzerland an average farm has 20-25 ha. Our framers receive direct payments from the coverments. Without these direct payments the farmers would not survive anymore. Is the "San Bernadiner" from Switzerland?
    Stay healthy and best regards

    I had a similar elevator, but, mine was a New Idea. I used a hydraulic motor on that, to save having an elevator tractor. It would handle a full load of ear corn as well as any small grain. We swathed our small grain up here in Minnesota, then, we had heads with pickups. I love to watch your videos, because they remind me of the simpler ways we used to do things. Later I also added an auger for shelled corn, beans, and, small grain, but, still used the elevator for my corn, which I picked, and, then shelled out with my Moline sheller. It was labor intensive, but, I was younger and stronger then. We could never had run that much green stuff though the combine. Swathing lets all of that dry out, and, then you can bale the straw right behind the combine. They still swath grain up in Canada, where harvest is much later in the year.

    Dad had IH 205 combine and 1966 Ford f250 with hyd dump box. 2 dumps to a pickup load. Let me drive on my own a couple mile haul from the farm. I was 12 wonderful memories hauling oats.

    I remember oat harvest on the farm. Putting up oat straw was a welcome break from the much heavier alfalfa and clover hay bales- that's for sure! I remember one year they had hay the next year in the oat field- and the first cutting was FULL of volunteer oats... We ended up using half of those bales as bedding. ( the prior crop had gotten beaten up pretty badly by a very poorly timed thunderstorm.)
    The girls always seemed happy to come inside to stalls full of fresh oat straw.
    Love the smell of oats! There's a plant off the NYS Thruway that processes oats for shipping, and when the dryers are running, the whole area smells like Cheerios!

    @tpfromcentralpa1692 Рік тому +2

    I would say it is more the head than the combine as far as doing a good job, draper heads feed so much better than auger heads. That is usually the problem with green in grain, it would slug the machine when a wad would go through, draper feeds way more consistantly with a ton less slugging.

      @redbovine Рік тому +2

      That combine has contour master on it. It allows the head to float with the ground real good. Also it is a rotor combine so it doesn’t really matter as much for it to lean over. Deere makes some baffles that go in the threshing area to keep the crop even. You have to look inside to see if it has them in it.
      The older walker models like a 9510SH have a side hill option that would allow the entire front axle to level the machine hydrolicly. They were real sensitive to leaning causing it to not threads well.

Oh lord the dust we took in. Wish I could say that is a job that I miss, nope better thee than me! Love that 1650 let me know if you want to get in touch with a Oliver restorer and collector.
