Hey Andy, still trying to get caught up. The videos from the harvest period are amazing. Great drone work. At 18:35 the sequence you edited with that background music was awesome. I know y'all are really busy all the time. It would be wonderful to have a planting summary and harvesting summary video with that music. What is the name of that song? God bless.
Another great video. Good explanation on the dust and a nice find on the worn belt. Tell Katy her fan base is growing. I see several mentions of her in the comments. More Katy.
Might be crazy, but in that wet field could you dig a big pond at the low point and surface drain or tile into it? Probably cheaper that a $70k 24in main over 2000 ft. Not as effective, but you could have a bass fishing spot and some drainage at the same time.
You Sir win the "Dukes Take" prize on this thread today! Slopping that field to a holding pond makes tremendous sense. By digging a pond in the lowest area of that field, you will gain a significant amount of dirt, that can be used to slope the other ground to the pond. Most of the dirt will most likely be sub-par dirt, not topsoil, so instead of covering good dirt with poor dirt, you remove the topsoil from all the places that needs to be filled so as to drain towards the pond, then replace the topsoil, plus you'll also gain the topsoil that was removed from the pond site. With the historical drought that's taking place in much of the Western US, and the ever-changing weather patterns, every significant land owner should be storing every bit of excess water runoff, and instead of dumping ground water from drainage tile into the creeks and streams, they should be storing it in ponds, and lakes, and that's the "Dukes Take" on how to turn unusable wet ground, into an invaluable resource, all while turning that wet unproductive ground, into dry productive ground, plus you'll have a fishin hole for the kids. 👍🤠🇺🇸
I think your idea has legs in theory. However, the clay wall of a pond will retain water for long periods of time. If we received a large rainfall, the entire farm would still be underwater, because the pond will have already been full. We would still need a tile overflow, which would essentially erase the need for the pond. By the time all costs and losses are accounted for, installing a tile main would be the easiest solution, especially given the rich nature of that soil. Thanks for the comment!
@@aTrippyFarmer If you've ever been to a shopping center or mall, what do they do with all of the water that runs off acres of asphalt in a cloudburst..... think containment basins, large concrete, or dirt containment ponds, that are engineered to adequately contain those huge amounts of runoff water in a cloudburst, which all have a drain up adequately high that releases the water to the creeks or streams in a controlled manner, to prevent the shopping center from flooding everyone downstream. Here in the housing development that I live in, we have two such earthen ponds to catch all of the runoff from our streets and properties during a downpour, so that we don't flood the state road below, or cause the creek to flood other properties below us. I've never seen a pond or lake that doesn't have a overflow drain, just like yours would have, and sometimes the overflow drain empties into a overflow, overflow, pond. I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Southwest Virginia, and we know a little about flash floods, and water containment, we also have Coal Mining further West towards Kentucky, and North towards West Virginia, and they have to catch all of their runoff in enormous sediment ponds, so as to not pollute the pristine creeks and streams where we have some of the best trout fishing in the country, so we know how to collect and contain excess water. My late father made a significant amount of money from buying properties deemed too wet to use, then drying it up and making it useable for both industrial and agricultural businesses. 👍🇺🇸
@@aTrippyFarmer new a friend that had jd hoe ate main pump they had jd put new pump on supposely clean system 40 rs another pump this time they took every cyl every thing apart they could still had troubles it went to ritche bros
Although they were tough to harvest, the moisture was hanging around where it needed to be. It could be very costly in terms of dry weight losses if we do not keep getting rains to rehydrate the beans. Soybeans are such a bear to harvest because you have such a small window of optimal conditions, which is why it stinks to have a combine down!
I’d be asking the dealer for an extended warranty, if the pump went it’s likely that the hydraulic system now has a bunch of debris in it. The filter will catch it but depending on how long it ran and how good they do when they put the pump back on some other systems may be affected. Hyd Valves don’t like contaminated fluid, the cylinders and a lot of other systems it won’t hurt.
That is a scary thought. I believe they will flush everything, but it is impossible to clean it out completely. I hope that we aren't stuck with a lot of long-term problems!
@@aTrippyFarmer I’d probably change the hydraulic fluid filter after maybe 10-15hrs of operation, take a 2oz sample and send it to a lab like Blackstone. Change the filter again at 25-30 hours, most of any junk left in the fluid should get caught in that 1st filter change after the repair. They’ll flush it most likely but it’s tough to get it all out, just too many places in the system where debris can get trapped. You’ll need to let the lab know that the pump cratered and that this is a post repair oil sample, have them run a standard analysis + particle count. The filter change and sample analysis are pretty cheap insurance and you’ll get a picture of where the fluid is at. We oil sample our engine oil, adds a few $$ to the oil change but pays when you catch a problem early before it’s a big problem. Normally we only sample hydraulic oil after something like what happened to yours and it’s repaired. Beats flushing the system multiple times and it’s piece of mind that the fluid is clean
I didn’t realize theft of equipment was such a big problem. What we have stolen the most is trailers, loaded or unloaded. We call it grab and run. Not so bad right now as it was last year. I have only recovered one unit.
Theft of the actual equipment isn't necessarily the problem. We are especially afraid of our GPS hardware being stolen, and, of course, individuals tampering with or damaging equipment. We have been lucky for years, but I have heard some horrible stories before.
Sounds like you got VERY LUCKY with that pump being available, and not having to wait for parts coming from the other side of the world eh.!🧐🙄😂!. And... When was the last time anyone checked that belt.? Like, do you know in what timeframe it has gone from looking absolutely fine, to looking the way it does now.? LOVE THE VIDS.🥰🥰... KEEP'EM COMING.🤞🥰... RICH(UK).🥰🥰🥰.!.!.
You are right. We are extremely fortunate that it was available. That combine could've easily been out of commission for months if there weren't any replacements. The S670 is thoroughly inspected in the off-season. We check the combine over regularly during harvest, but it is very easy to miss something.
I can't believe this hydraulic issue with that 780 after what that thing costs... brand new you say? I try to think of it as if I had just purchased a brand new vehicle say 2021 truck and after putting 2500 miles on it I literally have to have it towed to the dealership to be repaired. To say I would be disappointed would be an understatement. Hope you get it back up and running soon.
Yes it is a half million dollar machine, so our disappointment is imaginable. It is impossible to predict that issue because it is a one-off. The pump is sourced from another company, and it probably had a defect in specifications. This led to a failure at an unknown time, which is unfortunate for us!!
@@aTrippyFarmer if you was closer I’d bring mine and help ya!.. My son is a green guy... I tell him red is easier to find when we go back to the field after lunch!..🤣
The final drives don’t last long on them 2 or 3 seasons and there done our two S690 have been a disaster feeder house chains and sprockets 250 to 300 hours one got one season out of the clean grain auger broke in the middle just about to start harvest in Australia around November just can’t wait to see what it will be next.I can’t see how they are going the X9 going on indications on the previous models we will have to wait and see
That isn't promising news. It seems like they have figured out the power and capacity, but they can't keep the machine running long enough to enjoy it. Thanks!
Hi been a bit busy this week thanks for the reply our first s690 was the same just couldn’t keep it going it broke down every day for 2seasons the dealer was out here every day while we were using it eventually they took it back on trade on another one countless time all the pumps had been off it six times the final drives we’re off it boil up hydraulic oil no end to it they took it back on trade for another s690 it to hasn’t been a great thing either broke the bottom clean grain auger in the middle and then went up through the sieves.we will have to see how these x9 go I can’t see how anyone is going to keep the going
Made in USA used to mean something. Such a big failure on a new machine is inexcusable. JD and MOST other manufacturers cheap out on parts, materials, and engineering. Designed obsolescence, almost every product is designed to fail and be replaced rather than last a lifetime with simple maintenance/ repairs. How do we as consumers demand higher quality from the market? Maybe support smaller manufacturers that are making simpler products? Not sure, but Gleaner combines seem like much simpler, cheaper, and easier to repair machines. (At least according to Brian's Farming Videos)
That may be true until the Gleaner goes down. Many of these parts are made by other manufactures like Eaton for example. If this combine is new it’s covered by warranty. John Deere picks up the bill.
I do not think there is a solution. That pump isn't even made by Deere. As with every other brand, it is not worth their money to create parts in-house. One company makes their livelihood supplying all of the manufacturers with the same bearings, belts, pumps, etc. that create the machine when assembled. Simpler is only better when the problem is the complexity. In this instance, the pump hardware was bad, which isn't really an issue of over-engineering. I will say that smaller brands, like Gleaner, are incredibly important for consumers, regardless of their own brand choice. We need competition to keep everyone honest!
We have always looked at drain tile as a long term investment because tile installation will continue to go up and the good Lord isn’t making anymore land.
I've watched enough of you American farmers WITH 'Crary' wind systems now, to KNOW that they're a very good investment.!😲!

Asking a farmer how many acres he farms is the equivalent of asking somebody how much money they make per year.
