OOOOSH! In my few times of trying to cut down rice, I must've choked a 9600 20 times in one harvest day. And I was going SLOW SLOW. It's nice to be able to reverse the slugs out with the heel on a foot. AND on this particular day, I began by changing all the beater wings that morning, the old ones were worn thru. EDIT - In Louisiana
@@bobbyjfarms3681 not the main cylinder with the spikes, the one right in front of the straw walkers. Had to lay on pieces of plywood on top of the walkers to change those metal pieces that are a maintenance item (they bolt up to the cylinder that spins them). The combine wasn't mine personally, but for my dad, so I'm just the driver, and don't know all the names of the parts like a rice farmer would/should. Maybe all it does is help throw the straw up onto the walkers, now that I'm thinking about it. It had holes worn thru those wings. I even dropped a socket somewhere in the combine, that found a nice cozy spot somewhere as to not destroy anything, LOL. You likely know what that spinning thing in front of the straw walkers is called, I'm sure that 9610 has it too, whereas the CTS is different. If that is what you're asking? I think. The 9600 we had spike tooth, full rice machine
@@teecuzbruh4058 I was curious about the cylinder. The smaller drum between the cylinder and walkers is the beater. Changed beater bats a few times myself and it sucks on top of the walkers. Thats what's nice about the cts, the whole rotor elements come out the back so you can just sit Indian style and work on the beater. Even a bit cozy in there haha
@@bobbyjfarms3681 oh yeah we always. always had rice machines. Always been strictly rice. The 9600 was the last machine bought, before downsizing and shutting it down altogether. Had a combine doctor go thru it in 2007 and reflight and resurface everything before selling and quitting. If I'm correct, a rice package will always come with a spike tooth. I mean, I know a newly ordered machine can be built to spec with a rasp, no rice farmers I'm aware of bought rasp cylinder machines around here back in the day. I choked the hell outta that 9600 in downed rice. Well, I should re-phrase, because I was always able to reverse it out, so I just choked often, but not so bad I had to get out and start digging it out by hand, LOL. It's a good sign if you're choking in the down rice, because you're getting ALL OF IT Southwest Louisiana doesn't have very good ground for anything else, beside cane. Farmers do plant soybeans, but never make yields very much worth a crap, so beans are more of a rotation thing. Now that they're worth some money though, a farmer can make 30 bushel beans and make a little something, so they are being planted a little more often, not just rotation. The lack of topsoil and frequent rain messes with soybean yields around here. We never drilled our rice, which is commonplace now. Always flew in the seed. The area we grew rice was rally close to the Atchafalaya Basin, used to be river bottom, real black soil, was nearly never dry enough to plow, and too difficult to water level. Other farmers further west can and did water level. Now with zero grade tech the land can be dry enough to drill the seed in. It was kind of surprising to me RiceFarmingTV up there in Gridley still flies in the seed, even after doing all the work on dry ground. I mean, I know a drill is expensive, but it'll save money in the long run. Sorry for rambling. Do you guys drill the seed? I guess I need to watch more of your videos, if'n I missed it.
Like the footage
Nice work on the footage man. Video was awesome and thank you for feeding us
Any time!
Good job Brandi driving the combine
She's learning Brian
Alot of people dont realize how much work farming is...
Well done! First I’ve seen the stripper header. Never seen them used up in Delevan CA. Nice video. Keep up the good work! Where’s your location?
Thanks! I'm in the Oakdale area

Rasp bar? Spike tooth is pretty darned tough! I have a spike tooth in my cts2 and a rasp in my 9610, since it's got the stripper header

is Your yield the same with the two different heads?
Yes as long as all the rice is standing. In lodged rice stripper header throws a lot back on the ground
