I had the same thing tuesday, pissed a little rain in the morning but the wind picked up and they got dry enough to go in the afternoon. Haven't done any since. Looks like it may be a salvage operation to get the rest of em the way the forecast looks😆
Thanks Steve! The corn is wet too. Some guys have been running, but it all seems to be in the 25% or higher area. It's going to be a slow harvest here.
We have no control over the weather, but we can make adjustments on our equipment to get us through . Nothing wrong in the way you run your farming operation ,keep up the good work .
Noticed going down the road the fall colors are starting to come in. Yea a "new to me "machine you always have a learning curve but you will figure it out in short order. I am in Georgia and we haven't had rain in several weeks. Good for the harvest going on but sure could use some. Had to stop over seeding pastures cause it got too dry. Chris I have a 66 row crop that needs the short stubby output PTO shaft. Mine is broken off. Do you know where I could get one?
They used the same shaft in the 66, 77, and 88, as well as the Super 66 through 88, so it shouldn't be too hard to find one. Maibach tractor would almost certainly have one. Wenger's show they have some used ones in stock. The part number is K1200. Do a google search for "K1200 Oliver" and you should find it. Same for Maibach Tractor.
Looking at it sitting on the header cart I kept thinking that reel is too far away from the cutter bar, but the dealer said they had it adjusted, so I figured I better try it before messing something up. 😂
Chris, did you know Steve Vanderziel from Alto, Michigan? He was an avid collector of old iron and a super guy to deal with in his Fabrication machinery sales. Steve will be greatly missed.
The weather this year has been irritating. It's impossible to get anything done. I know exactly what you're saying. I actually caught myself last week feeling irritated and wondering if I'm getting slower as I'm getting older or less motivated.. looking back at incomplete summer projects, and then I'm like wait a minute it rained all summer lol.. That's a cool picture for the thumbnail is that your dad or grandfathers site there? I'm pretty sure a few years ago you talked about it, but I can't remember exactly.
That's the family headstone where dad is buried. He wanted to be buried in his own field, so we donated some land to the church to add on to the cemetery. We had donated before he passed, but through a clerical error the land was still ours at the time of the funeral. So he got his wish.
Thats a cool story. From growing up with the old timers that I hung around with as a kid and 5+ years of watching your videos and listening to you talk about the dealership I bet you everyone in town and the area knew your dad and grandfather, and they were very respected
I doubt it. The relatively little amount will blend in with the other beans when I take them out of the bin. Some will blow away as we load the truck too.
Cool beans I thought you were going to shell corn so I didn't know why u were worried but your on beans brother that's one sweet rig got 1655 4wd stripped down to almost nothing that pinion beat the front case all to pieces found a nice 1 already that tractor had loader on it and worked in 4wd on hard surface not designed for that application 1 bull pinion was tuff getting out found nice carrier man that field looks awesome be safe and enjoy 👍
Thanks! I worked on a 1655 FWA that had been a loader tractor and it had a similar issue. It hadn't hurt the transfer case, but the pinion chewed into the differential carrier, almost like a mill.

I haven't done any crops other than hay since I was in my teens, but with the drought we've been having I won't complain a bit about the rain. That said I would be frustrated too if I had crops to harvest and got as much off and on rains as you folks in your neck of the woods. Good luck with the corn and the rest of the soybeans, hopefully you'll get enough of a break in the rain to getter done! Thanks for sharing Chris, I hope you have a good week.
We got a 25 ft 9250 Draper head like yours for our 9695, what were you running for pressure? First time we are going to run this fall, looks like it was doing great for you
I'm thinking it was around 500 psi . The dealer recommended that. I played with the pressure some, ran it up until it started lifting the cutterbar and then backed off a bit. I've really liked that draper head, I hope it works as good for you.
Does your KB wagon have a HG violet sticker on it? That’s more down by me. I actually use to work for Wellman seeds in delphos if your are familiar with delphos
If you go into the purple hand and go into the vmm data you can see basically every sensor input and controller output on the machine. The dynaflex heads are kinda dunny to get set right you have to play with the fore and aft head pitch and ground pressure to get them to feed. Its so odd to see a dyna flex in 25ft. The ones i deal with are all 35 and 40.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris feel for you when the weather is all over the place. New to you machine with a whole different operating system trying to learn set and operate in poor conditions.
Of all of your fields/farms, I’m curious why it chosen to burying your dad (I’m assuming) on that particular one? If it’s to personal or you just don’t want to share no need to reply I understand!
That field meets an existing cemetery, so we were able to donate the land to the church to add they just added it on to what they had. Still farm some of the land we donated, otherwise it would probably just go to weeds or cause the church to spend more on grounds keeping. Our family already had plots in the man part of the cemetery so it all fit together nicely.
Nice! I'm sure you'll get the combine tweaked to your liking. How much did you get done before the week of rain? We got over 3” and probably much more in spots.
I ran about 20 acres, maybe a little more. Tuesday was the only harvest day I got, Wednesday I got that disced and mostly planted. Friday was warm and sunny things dried well enough that we got the wheat test plot planted, video to come of that. The beans dried a lot, but not quite enough. It was looking like I could run yesterday, but it rained during the night. We got rain again last night and have another chance tonight. Then the lake effect turns back on and we might see some snow flakes for Halloween.
It might just be me, but did it sound like a bearing was out when you turned the separator on? I know camera audio doesn’t always translate well so I’m gonna guess it’s nothing
So we had a 9895 the big brother to yours and we put an air foil chauffer in and then we pretty much just cranked the fan all the way up and it did a great job in corn and pretty decent in beans and wheat we got compliments at the elevator for those samples when we bought a new gleaner and then got compliments all the time we were cleaning it waaaay better then a deere those combines can produce a good sample just takes awhile tk fine tune lol
My trucker said that I probably had the oldest combine (8570) of any of their customers, and also the cleanest samples. I've just about got the 9795 dialed in to that level.
What a beautiful setup. What did you have before this one? How I have always said the real on a flex head as you put a 4 x 4 Cube under a spot in the cutter bar usually the middle. And then you bring your real down to just above that. That is usually a very good starting point where in tougher conditions you can bring that real down and you can either shove it out which would get it even lower to help bring material onto your Draper There should be some settings on the head or the feeder house if you have the option of the tilt on the face plate. But on the head there should be adjustment somewhere to set the angle of the cutter bar for how aggressive the cutter bar is diving into the ground That has to be one of the most simple combines on the market. I hope it treat you very well. I only had a couple of guys that I knew that had them and they absolutely love them On a nice machine like that have your local dealer come out and do an inspection with you this winter. And 100 percent do engine oil and coolant and then your hydro system oil scans
Good to see a video from ya . This weather has been a great pain this year, we started on corn doing well for the year switched from corn to beans three times finally got the beans all out average 64 bu I never thought they do that we have good soil have a bit of everything corn doing better then I thought also . Good to see get to play with the new toy it took me a season too get used to it its a 9570 deere and a 25ft head took awhile to get used to it all . From turkey creek farms be safe n thankful
The soaker rains we have been getting would have been perfect back in June. It's been a crazy year. I'm amazed these beans are as tall as they are. Some of the sandiest spots died.
The one thing I didn't like about the only draper I've ever ran (which happened to be a John Deere 630D on an S670 combine) was that it didn't feed good at all if the beans were short (which auger heads don't either really) and if it ever got into a weedy patch (which there were a couple in that field) it didn't like pulling in the green weeds (I guess because they were heavier) so it would start pushing a big wad of crap. That kind of got annoying.
I don't miss any of your videos anymore, I've become a fan. I'm Brazilian and when I watch your videos it reminds me of my childhood when I drove CBT tractors. Hugs friend
@@ThatOliverGuyChris There are still many of them, especially in the southern region of the country, which is where I was born. It was the region that produced the most grains in the country in the 1970's and 1980's, especially rice, corn, and soybeans. The CBT was a tractor that stood out for the power of its Detroit and Mercedes 6-cylinder engines, so people used it a lot. Since I didn't live through that era, I don't know much more than that. The early models, such as the OLIVER-CBT 950, 1020, and 1000, are very rare, but the 1090 and 1105 models are still quite common, many of them still in operation. As you can see, the first model still carries "Oliver" in its name.
@@dennisfoltz7880 CBT is a tractor brand that was marketed in Brazil during the 1970s. It stands for "Comércio Brasileiro de Tratores," which translates to "Brazilian Tractor Commerce." Initially, CBT started as an import of Oliver tractors, and the subsequent models inherited many features from your tractors. In Brazil, it began with a red color, but the one that really stood out was the yellow version starting with the 1090 model. Its engine and robustness for the time were distinguishing factors, making it popular among all audiences. It continues to have a devoted fan base even today.
@@dennisfoltz7880 The story as I have heard it: A group from Brazil was looking to start their own tractor company and approached Oliver about striking up a deal. They didn't have much money, so the arrangement they came up with was that Oliver would give the new CBT company all of the tooling and patterns for the Oliver 990, a model Oliver had discontinued at that point. It became the CBT 1090 and was powered with a Mercedes Diesel. I have heard the GM diesel was an option, but the only one I have seen had the Mercedes. As the company came out with more models they styled them very similar to the Oliver tractors of the 1960s. I was told Oliver never received a penny out of the deal. Later on they started looking more like Massey Ferguson tractors, but I have no idea if there was any arrangement between those two companies.
Interesting that you are getting such a late start. I started on corn September 26, had nothing over 20%. Switched over to beans, started on them 10-7. Finished corn 10-20. Central Iowa location, pretty much ideal harvest conditions.
Most corn around here is the upper 20s to 30s. I don't think anyone was able to start beans in September, a few with early beans got a good run at them the first week of October, then it went downhill from there.
Is The New to you machine guidance capable....When my Son started equipping all our Hay tractors Took me a while to get up to speed...... but now I use it everywhere but on the road
Our 6145R and the 6R145 are both factory equipped On the 2 5115Ms we bought the steering wheel electric drive conversions... They both run the same program. My Son(the boss) says that it allows you maximum productive advantage with every trip down the field. It also allows you to monitor the process , without worrying about steering
Hey curious about how many bushels to the acre you make on soybeans and do you fertilize your soybeans I know some farmers dont including my grandpa just got 120 acres and was thinking if it really helps enough to out way the cost for the fertilizer we do fertilize corn just not soybeans but planning on putting soybeans in this year
I have my soil grid sampled, half of it each year. I have P and K applied to maintain levels, so bean ground does get fertilizer as needed to maintain those levels. I don't apply any N to my bean ground, I don't foliar feed, and only do fungicide if it needs it. I averaged about 52 bpa this year overall, my farm running average is right around 60. If it's new to you ground, my opinion is your money would be best spent on getting pH checked and lime applied as needed. Fertilizer gets locked up in alkaline soils, and soybeans get spindly and make lots of vegetation but fewer pods in acidic soil. Plus too acidic soil will cut down on the effectiveness of many weed sprays.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris thanks ya I had this field limed back in November ya my grandpa has farmed forever but I feel like I need to start getting more into the science of the soil which a lot of our ground is rented
We never tried to tell a farmer how to adjust his combine as most had their own personal settings for harvesting. Happy for you that you were able to get started harvesting.
AMEN Brothers and Sisters. The customer was always right on adjustments even though we set equipment exactly like the book said. Of course, we would almost always get a call about their plow not working like it should and you would see where the paint was disturbed and something changed by the customer. I always carried twine. The string stretched from the pull point to the middle of the 2nd bottom should pass directly under the hitch pin. An OLD mechanic told me that. When things were right the string would be like the old man told me. Worked on 3 bottom and 7 bottom plows. That usually made the customer happy because it looked scientific. @@ThatOliverGuyChris
i bought a used tractor a year ago about this time and spent all summer fixing things that needed done to it but had fun doing it and still have a few things to go but happy with it not sure but you may want to look at the for and aft on the feeder house tilt the head back just a touch may help that pushing trouble i have heard guys have to do that when they have went from auger head to a draper head
Nope We can hear you! Now that I’ve seen your shop and buildings it’s kind of cool to watch your video and say.....I remember that tractor, or that little combine stuck back in the corner. Snow is predicted for tomorrow Chris.....
I should have taken the camera out of the cab with me to show how far above the cutterbar the reel was. It was way too high. I think a little more tweaking and it will be good.
It hasn't run since before I got on UA-cam, the engine developed a bad knock. I might have some old video of it harvesting wheat. I'll see what I can find.
Chris, glad you was able to get out in the field and get some things accomplished. Now if the rain would hold off long enough so you can get all your harvesting done that would really be great 👍 Thanks Michael
I had the same thing tuesday, pissed a little rain in the morning but the wind picked up and they got dry enough to go in the afternoon. Haven't done any since. Looks like it may be a salvage operation to get the rest of em the way the forecast looks😆

Very nice upgrade on the combine Chris! The weather here has been similar. It has been a slow harvest as well.

It's a Sisu engine. I think it's somewhere around 8.3 liters.

Our 6145R and the 6R145 are both factory equipped On the 2 5115Ms we bought the steering wheel electric drive conversions... They both run the same program. My Son(the boss) says that it allows you maximum productive advantage with every trip down the field. It also allows you to monitor the process , without worrying about steering
Nice to see the new one in service. Hope the weather cooperates.
I hope so too. Looks like I should get a few days this week.
I doubt it will be as reliable as the 8570, very doubtful.
Hey curious about how many bushels to the acre you make on soybeans and do you fertilize your soybeans I know some farmers dont including my grandpa just got 120 acres and was thinking if it really helps enough to out way the cost for the fertilizer we do fertilize corn just not soybeans but planning on putting soybeans in this year
I have my soil grid sampled, half of it each year. I have P and K applied to maintain levels, so bean ground does get fertilizer as needed to maintain those levels.
I don't apply any N to my bean ground, I don't foliar feed, and only do fungicide if it needs it. I averaged about 52 bpa this year overall, my farm running average is right around 60. If it's new to you ground, my opinion is your money would be best spent on getting pH checked and lime applied as needed. Fertilizer gets locked up in alkaline soils, and soybeans get spindly and make lots of vegetation but fewer pods in acidic soil. Plus too acidic soil will cut down on the effectiveness of many weed sprays.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris thanks ya I had this field limed back in November ya my grandpa has farmed forever but I feel like I need to start getting more into the science of the soil which a lot of our ground is rented
We never tried to tell a farmer how to adjust his combine as most had their own personal settings for harvesting. Happy for you that you were able to get started harvesting.
I found it didn't matter what you told them, or how well you adjusted it ahead of time, they were going to mess with it anyways.
AMEN Brothers and Sisters. The customer was always right on adjustments even though we set equipment exactly like the book said. Of course, we would almost always get a call about their plow not working like it should and you would see where the paint was disturbed and something changed by the customer. I always carried twine. The string stretched from the pull point to the middle of the 2nd bottom should pass directly under the hitch pin. An OLD mechanic told me that. When things were right the string would be like the old man told me. Worked on 3 bottom and 7 bottom plows. That usually made the customer happy because it looked scientific. @@ThatOliverGuyChris
Nice video Chris. Hope harvest goes better.
Thanks! I've resigned myself to the fact it's going to be a long drawn out process this fall.
i bought a used tractor a year ago about this time and spent all summer fixing things that needed done to it but had fun doing it and still have a few things to go but happy with it not sure but you may want to look at the for and aft on the feeder house tilt the head back just a touch may help that pushing trouble i have heard guys have to do that when they have went from auger head to a draper head
Since this video I got the reel adjusted down so I can run the head higher. It's cruising right along now.
just thought i would share that little bit to help you hope i did not up set you in doing so@@ThatOliverGuyChris
put the little paddles on the reel they work great, like a little hand pushing the beans in
Nope
We can hear you!
Now that I’ve seen your shop and buildings it’s kind of cool to watch your video and say.....I remember that tractor, or that little combine stuck back in the corner.
Snow is predicted for tomorrow Chris.....
Yeah, it's going to be a slow harvest. Last night's rain didn't help any.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris the Mrs and I drove some of the backroads near you yesterday, lots still out in the fields.....same around here.
Good 4 U.... Only harvest dry corn tho
I definitely agree with you on those choppers
Enjoyed watching!
Some of your fellow UA-camrs are putting poly duck flippers from Mae Wes on the reel fingers.
I should have taken the camera out of the cab with me to show how far above the cutterbar the reel was. It was way too high. I think a little more tweaking and it will be good.
Are parts hard to get for the Massey Ferguson combines being they don’t make them .
They technically do. You can get the Fendt Ideal combine badges as a Massey. They discontinued this platform in 2020, so parts are readily available.
Dam way to new for you
I was hoping to find an 8780xp, but this popped up and fit the bill.
Good to see the 4-225 in action
Nice new to you rig..🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍
Awesome stuff, gett’n er done!
Oh yeah!
Have you done a video of the Oliver combine that was in the barn with 9795
It hasn't run since before I got on UA-cam, the engine developed a bad knock. I might have some old video of it harvesting wheat. I'll see what I can find.
We have been getting a lot of rain down here in Indiana also.
It rained all night last night, and we saw a few snow flurries today.
Nice combine
By the sound of that muffler i need to make that trip up to you sooner than later 😂
😂. Problem is, it's not my tractor anymore.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris no reason for me to rush then is there😂
Chris, glad you was able to get out in the field and get some things accomplished. Now if the rain would hold off long enough so you can get all your harvesting done that would really be great 👍 Thanks Michael
Fingers crossed! The corn around here is on the wet side, so it looks like that will be a slow process as well.
