Hi Andy! I really like your videos and you make me very, very proud of your children! Sarah is a very clever young lady, she could appear several times and talk in the videos!!! Greetings from Europe. 
All in a dsys work, huh Andy. Sarah proved once again to be real trooper. The family name is testimint as all your kids are truly excelled in the farm business.
I think the issue Andy is the covers that are over top of the augers in the grain tank are to high allowing to much grain to get into the augers. Try lowering them down a notch and see what happens. I have a 9650 sts and never break a shear pin.
We had so many problems keeping our combine working in high moisture corn that we have switched to chopping earlage with the corn head on the chopper. Combine just isn't made for 30+ moisture corn.
Hi Andy, we have a 9600 with updated boot like that. We take our grain saver out. Also have flow control covers in bin to slow down grain flow on wet corn
Great video Sarah gets a +👍 an removing the defender for the wet corn you have free flow into boot no restriction an you yamkum missing out on the use of their products 👍🚜
It looks like the end section is 180° out of position or upside down. That spring loaded spout looks like it should be on the top. Not the bottom. Just a wild guess.
Sarahs getting her workout in for the day jumping in and out of the grain buggy when does she get to run the combine.The wet conditions are a pain makes everything twice as hard great video Andy
was the auger cart op for many years i HATED dealing with wet fields and remote stageing trucks to keep them from getting stuck i wander if a boot off of a 77 or 8800 combine would work on that auger Andy
Suggestion: slow down the auger so that it cannot push corn out faster than gravity drops it. --. Weld a piece of headless bolt, make hole in the boot so it doesn't just push boot off. - Make a friction surface so boot has a real hard time slipping off. - Pop rivets from inside out will keep the boot on for awhile. - That's all I got.
One more, replace the boot with a furnace pipe. Cheap, bendable, easy to find and replace. - Form a BIG radiator clamp over the spout/boot connection. Should hold 'til you trade it in.
Have you considered/contemplated nominating Sarah for the Distinguished Metal of Honor with Valor in the Farming Community? I realize you are a by the book Command Seargent Major and more often than not you believe that they are just completing the tasks of their chosen MOS. Perhaps your recognition of her ability to go beyond might motivate some of the Slackers
Hi Andy. Sounds like you need to look into getting a mother bin . Wouldn't get the trucks stuck so often. Offload the mother bin into the trucks. They come in various bushel capacities.
Everybody is always commenting about a mother-bin all over UA-cam. I don’t get why someone would buy one. They hold 4k bushel and just sit there. So now you have a grain cart operator, and a big stationary bin that needs a tractor and operator. Seems like a person would be better off buying two big grain carts. I am sure it makes sense for some operations, but Andy is doing 500 acres of corn. I kinda doubt he is gonna spend $200k on a motherbin.
I'm pretty sure Andy knows what works for his operation. He explained why a bigger grain cart would not be any better, and his reasoning is solid. The biggest mother isn't always the best mother. You can put in what you think should be behind mother. 🤔😯😂
Yeah it looks like that grain saver was forcing the corn either upwards or straight out, with the speed of the auger causing it to just put too much pressure against the rubber boot, without it the corn can just drop out as it should. To me it would make more sense to make the flap cover the whole end of the auger tube, and hinge it at the top. I guess you're left with the decision of either slowing down the auger or spilling a few grains folding it back in. Given the time it takes to keep putting it back together, I think I'd rather spill a little.
You indicated that corn was not tall enough. Had you had soil testing sample in this land? What do you feel was the "root" cause of this farms substandard production?
Change the direction of the way it comes out...Andy instead of having it wrap around the end of the auger have the spout wrap over the auger into a cone shape but leaving the top of the spout open it may or not help???
Its designed to come off rather than wreck it If you get in tree branches while turning around. Or If you get too low in the cart and plug it it doesnt wreck the auger flighting before the bolt shears. Been there done that one.
Haven't been a deer Columbine on this place in 35 years and it was an Old 45 was it built like that, but if it was me, I think I would be taking that spring-loaded metal flap. Don't believe that Auger is designed to handle high moisture
My brother somehow takes a truck mud flap and puts on the end of his augers he cuts it so that there is 3 flaps about a quarter way down to the mud flab puts two bolts on top and two bolts on each side of the auger so that it hangs down to direct the corn or soybeans down into the cart
Andy, please give those two precious girls of yours a hug for me Alex and Sarah of course thanks from one father to another
A Kinze grain cart would look nice behind that Deere. 😎 Thanks for the footage Andy!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
I know right
Hi Andy! I really like your videos and you make me very, very proud of your children! Sarah is a very clever young lady, she could appear several times and talk in the videos!!! Greetings from Europe.

Another good video as always Andy KEEP THEM COMING 🐄 🚜 🇺🇲 🌽 👍
That grain saver seems to get in the way. Another great combinin' video! Dig Jason's shirt!! Go Blue!
Just a few small hiccups. Sarah is a trooper. Great video.
All in a dsys work, huh Andy.
Sarah proved once again to be real trooper. The family name is testimint as all your kids are truly excelled in the farm business.
I'm glad you're getting your corn shelled without snow
Hey Andy !
Good job everybody !
Thanks Andy for your time and everybody have a good day at the farm ! 🙋♂️
Andy, looks like a good start for shelling corn. Looks like you guys got that auger end fixed up in good shape. Great job!
It’s nice to see someone else having trouble as well getting those Deere doors to open once in a while. Thanks for another entertaining video Andy!
I think the issue Andy is the covers that are over top of the augers in the grain tank are to high allowing to much grain to get into the augers. Try lowering them down a notch and see what happens. I have a 9650 sts and never break a shear pin.
Great job Jason driving the truck hauling corn 🌽
Great job driving the tractor and grain cart Sarah
One thing I can say that when you told that young lady full throttle she sends it LoL 😂😂😂
Its buttons for the throttle. "Full bunny" button is wide open.
You’re doing just fine. I remember picking one row at a time, ear corn to cribs…yaaa
Thank Andy and crew.
Two videos in a row with Sara in each!!!! HOT DAM!!!
looks like it was a tough day. Thanks for recording it
Great job running the combine Andy
We had so many problems keeping our combine working in high moisture corn that we have switched to chopping earlage with the corn head on the chopper. Combine just isn't made for 30+ moisture corn.
Thanks for the video and glad after some modification the boot stayed on.
Totally enjoyed watching the video Andÿ 😊
Done the boot replacement job from the top of a full cart standing in the corn several times.
Good luck with shelling corn b safe and make sure u call Sarah when u need assistance ❤ she does a great job.
Hi Andy, we have a 9600 with updated boot like that. We take our grain saver out. Also have flow control covers in bin to slow down grain flow on wet corn
Maybe go to 8 row head and another grain cart, those big carts might be difficult in some your situations...love ur video's keep it up.
Great video Sarah gets a +👍 an removing the defender for the wet corn you have free flow into boot no restriction an you yamkum missing out on the use of their products 👍🚜
Great video Andy and crew
Heck yes the more gooder the better It's good you get your daughters involved
Haven't seen any cab corn yet!
Tarp keeps it in the bin
It looks like the end section is 180° out of position or upside down. That spring loaded spout looks like it should be on the top. Not the bottom. Just a wild guess.
One would think so
Sarahs getting her workout in for the day jumping in and out of the grain buggy when does she get to run the combine.The wet conditions are a pain makes everything twice as hard great video Andy
Whatever works for you doesn't mean it will work for someone else. You know what works for you. Your farm isn't like the guys out west
Andy are you feeding the corn that you are combining to feed the cows or selling it to a co-op
We feed everything
Smart move I think you got rid of the problem look like it was forcing the corn up restricting the flow
Good luck
First. Talk about lucky timing. Have a good day and keep on getting it done
Andy you'll have to get Duffy to come fix the auger he's a John Deere combine expert. And he likes shelling 35 percent corn.
Always enjoy your videos Andy . It's beer time somewhere 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Another very interesting video Thank you 😊😊😊
Andy...
Before UA-cam Were the windows in the combine that clean?...
😂😂😂😂
Thanks for your videos! I really appreciate it!
We gotta get Jay off the cigarettes 😏
The corn on the headlands looked real short, but the center looked good.
When I win the lottery I shall buy you two Yankum ropes! lol!
Good video Andy ,can I ask the large silo you are putting the corn in approximately how many ton would it hold.? Thanks in advance
1,000 ton
Awesome video thanks Andy top job top team 🚜🚛🚜🚛🚜🚛
Thanks Andy.excellent video! Nicely done!
Corn Wrecker is off and smooth sailing Great Vid🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🍺🍺🍺🍺👍👍
Thanks again for your video's

C'mon, dad, Let Sarah make a few rounds. She can run that combine as well as you can.
Suggestion: slow down the auger so that it cannot push corn out faster than gravity drops it. --. Weld a piece of headless bolt, make hole in the boot so it doesn't just push boot off. - Make a friction surface so boot has a real hard time slipping off. - Pop rivets from inside out will keep the boot on for awhile. - That's all I got.
One more, replace the boot with a furnace pipe. Cheap, bendable, easy to find and replace. - Form a BIG radiator clamp over the spout/boot connection. Should hold 'til you trade it in.

Damn tree limbs are hell on a auger we not going discuss how bad trees are on them LoL 😂😂😂😂
Just wondering Andy why you don't use one of the dump cart from silage for combined corn?
You indicated that corn was not tall enough. Had you had soil testing sample in this land? What do you feel was the "root" cause of this farms substandard production?
Short variety?
The answer is 2 dump carts and do you do any tiling in your fields?
Yes that field has a lot of tile in it
Good luck combining your corn 🌽 Andy
Change the direction of the way it comes out...Andy instead of having it wrap around the end of the auger have the spout wrap over the auger into a cone shape but leaving the top of the spout open it may or not help???
Have a good day everyone.
Who would have Thought the grain savor would be the boot killer
I just seen that happen to the combined on the farm down the road from me this afternoon lol
Thanks Andy
Looks like a good corn year.
could you make a metal band w/ holes to go around the boot i see it has a lip on it just a thought?
Its designed to come off rather than wreck it If you get in tree branches while turning around. Or If you get too low in the cart and plug it it doesnt wreck the auger flighting before the bolt shears. Been there done that one.
Can you add a dumpcart to help keep up with the combine?
Thats way better than the corn having to push the flapper open too.
👍👍
A bigger grain buggy means wider tires and issues with driving down the road.
"Expert Commentary" --- Using a "Rubber" is always a risky business. Does anyone still make the "Chain Mail" type sleeves ?
Cut a u out of the back side (towards the combine )of the boot about 8” up.
Can't you put a couple sheet metal screws in the hood to keep from coming off
If you got a bigger grain buggy, would you be able to travel? Or would you need one of the bigger tractors in front of it to travel
Combine rolling just a little bit of coal!
Andy, I have to ask if you were in the market for a brand new combine the way you would have an equipped how much are we talking about cash money
A new JD S760 combine is about 500k. A used one is about 400k.
"Yes take Grain Saver "Off" !
Where do you get those jeans Andy? Look really well made.
I got mine on amazon -- wrangler riggs really are tough stuff
Thanks@@PatsPurposefulPutzing
Yes I’ve bought them at Amazon as well. They are real nice and durable.
durable is what I need thanks@@FarmingFixingFabricating
i would have taken that flap off too! maybe you could even get a big hose clamp to help hold it on!
Das boot. I remember a movie about the guys making beer and drinking out of a glass boot and twisting it at the end .
How do you store the wet of corn?
In an up right silo
Andy can a dump wagon be used as a grain buggy?
One more grain buggy the same size and they should be able to keep up. Then you need another tractor and person. More cost?
Haven't been a deer Columbine on this place in 35 years and it was an Old 45 was it built like that, but if it was me, I think I would be taking that spring-loaded metal flap. Don't believe that Auger is designed to handle high moisture
Ha I was screaming at the TV take that flapper off
Hey andy why dont you make earlage?
Mucho great video
That’s more Gooder I love it
My brother somehow takes a truck mud flap and puts on the end of his augers he cuts it so that there is 3 flaps about a quarter way down to the mud flab puts two bolts on top and two bolts on each side of the auger so that it hangs down to direct the corn or soybeans down into the cart
Also he doesn't have the grain saver on his machines cuz he doesn't unload on the go
Caz in Cortland has a BIG grain buggy with your name on it😏
Having to run the head and everything else to run the unload auger seems like it would be to JDs advantage, lots of moving parts.
High moisture grain puts a strain on every price of equipment. I guess you just gotta tough it out
Maybe operator, Sara didn’t break it 😂
Why not wait a couple weeks for it to dry alittle more?
Cause they want it to be high moisture for cow feed
Wasn't last year's moisture around 25%?
Looked like it blew off from the corn....???😮
Keep on keepin aawwn.
I just think the bolts vibrate loose and it came off. No fault of yours Andy just blame the hardware. 😅
