- High Moisture Corn Harvest near Ruth Michigan - In this video I am out on a farm near Ruth Michigan as they are harvesting high moisture corn and grinding it for cattle feed. In this video is a John Deere S680 combine with a Drago 18 row corn head on 30inch row spacing and running beside it is a Deere 8310R tractor pulling a Brent 1080 grain cart. Also in the video I go back to the farm where they are dumping the corn and grinding it up (Rolling) and blowing it on the pile.
It's just amazing that a combine has the power and capacity to handle the corn from 18 rows especially @ 30% moisture. Plus powering the chopping corn head and unloading on the go.
Mike, you justly deserve 100,000 subscribers, can hardly wait for it to happen, as always great photography, filming and the use of the drone and the information you give us, thanks Mike✌️
Thanks, I'm getting closer to that 100K mark each day.
Mike, you will get the 100k for long you got great videos
Always like to see what's goin on down home,born and raised in the thumb and spent many,many hours driving truck for different farmers hauling corn,beans and beets when I was younger. Great videos !
Another great video Mike you are right high moisture corn does smell really good when it's fermented into silage as well.i never get tired of watching your videos mike.keep up the good work Mike you are doing an excellent job.
I have seen some comments on here about Michigan weight laws so I figured I’d explain. Michigan is a axle weight state that means how much you can haul is based off how many axles you have and how you arrange them. So you are allowed 18,000 pounds on your front axle (if you have a 385 tire) 16,000 on each one of your drivers and 13,000 on every one of your axles. Unless you have a 9 foot spread then you are allowed 18,000 on that axle. In the video the truck the grain cart was loading into is called a 2 28. The first trailer AKA the lead has a 9 foot spread on the first axle meaning 18,00 pounds then 2 axles in a row 13,000 each or 26,000 total. Meaning you can get 44,000 on the lead. The second trailer or the pup has 2 axles in a row (26,000 pounds) and 9 foot spread (18,000) and another to axles in a row (26,000) plus the 50,000 you can get on the truck. It all adds up to 164,000. The trailer dumping at the bunk is a 5 axle this means 5 axles in a row that can haul 13,000 each with no 9 foot spreads. So it can gross 65,000 plus the 50,000 you can get on the truck for a total of 115,000 gross weight.
Thanks for the information
Thanks for explaining that. A lot different than Pennsylvania weight limits
LOL your right the 9 foot spread is your bridge AKA the bridge law just saying
Glad to see the Thumb of Michigan content ! That combine looks like it has its max capacity with high moisture and that big corn head.
All the corn farmers say the smell of drying corn is amazing. Which always makes me want to make old fashioned popcorn balls from scratch, esp this time of year. Closest thing I have to the smell of drying corn.
You always hit it out of the park with your videos Mike!! Well done!!
I always appreciate your videos Mike. Been watching for a long time. 🤙💪
My experience in the grain elevator business remembers that that high moisture corn does not like to flow out of those gravity wagons, but they seem to not have any issues. Another great video Mike, that's my first 18 row corn head (I didn't know they made them that big). Wow.
I'll bet the last of the corn in that gravity box will have to be persuaded out!
I worked in a grain elevator for one season (1979) and one farmer brought in a wagon of 39% corn. It would NOT flow out the door. I had to get on the wagon and shovel it over the top. That was a several hour ordeal. The office did not even have a chart for the shrink on that high of moisture so they had to figure it out.
Again a great video! Always love the details.also I love the smell of chopped corn.thanks again.
It's really nice to see how the corn gets grinded👍😉
Great video, keep up the great work😁👍
👍👍
I believe that is the widest corn head I have seen so far. Very cool. There's some outstanding deer hunting in the thumb area to. :-)
Hi Mike love this video i worked on this farm in the 80 for 10 years back then was about 5000 ackers .
Mike. Excellent video Thank You
My Uncle and cousins used a 3 row snapper corn head on a pull chopper for high moisture corn. Not sure what my cousin uses today. Great seeing you in Michigan again!
Another good one, Farmhand Mike. I learned to drive on Dad's Ford 9-n and 900 tractors. I am a 65-year-old man in Nebraska. Careers and the "economic imperative" took me away from farming/ranching in 1985 or so. Now, 41 years later, here I am, operating a Case/IH 340 Red, pulling a 1300 bushel grain-cart -- for my first tractor driving in 35 years. Also, agree with Francisco Sandiego -- Let's Go Brandon!
Another great video Mike .
Awesome video Mike! Thank you
Another excellent video mike!
Great vídeo Mike.
What an enormous field.
I only live about 45 minutes from there, the dairy i work on has our corn hauled in so it’s interesting to see how other dairies around here do it.
great video Mike 👍
Hi moisture corn is the best smell that there can be on a farm. Love that smell
awsome video mike!
Am in love with farming.This is just great
Wow, awesome Dude, mechanised agriculture...!
Awesome video.
Great video 😃
Great video
Great awesome video mike, I like the new intro but miss the old one too , I guess you have to get use to it , nice equipment doing high moisture, your almost there at 100000 subscribers
Those Michigan boys sure like putting a bunch of axels under trailers!
omg you were over at my cousin's, i was told they have 40 plus locations in 5 different states, also do field farm tilling ,cement plant and sell landscape pavers.
I just love harvest time in the thumb it’s stressful but it’s a great time
"Nothing Runs Like A Deere" 🦌👍🇺🇸
Great. Well done.
i love your combine sir,,,😍😍👍👍😎😎
It's quite a machine that this farm runs eating 18 rows of high moisture corn.
When we use to do that we would keep that grinder going 24 hours a day until we filled the bunkers with that type of silage.
Mike buen vídeo amigo que dios te bendiga
Michigan, my home state,
Nice vídeo 🤠🇲🇽
Nice mike
@Farmhandmike...what was/is the biggest operation in acres that you have filmed?
Yum! Grits!
A Mike Less video on my Birthday o-yes...
Wonder what HMC-silage smells like…
I only know the smell of grassilage.😖
Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻
great vid🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Do they have the concaves set to capture any of the cob?
Cool 👍🤝
How do they open up fields and or lands with that wide of a corn head? Pretty sure that they cannot make a complete length of the field.
Hi.
Question..
Do the forward axles of the 5axle trailers steer.?
LOVE THE VIDS.🥰🥰...
KEEP'EM COMING.🤞🥰...
RICH(UK).🥰🥰🥰.!.!.!
No the axles will not steer they are on a air lift that the driver will lift when turning corners by flipping a switch on the cab.
Silagem de grão úmido. Muito bom para os animais.
My smell is off too since the virus i guess we will get it back some day.
SUPER!
Drago corn head 😏🔝
how fast is he running wit that 18 row corn 🌽 head it looks like he's running just under 4mph wit that class 8 S780 combine I wonder what his rpm range is
Mike, I know farmers are always trying to the get the cleanest sample in the combine, but for silage is it better or worse to have a “dirtier” sample?
I was told years ago when doing high moisture corn that will be ground or rolled for silage it was good to get some extra cob in the mix.
@@farmhandmike That’s what I was thinking, plant material would add to the nutrients & help fermentation. Thanks!
@@chrissyfrancis8952 i always thought "silage" was the entire product stalk, cob kernel and all.
Anyhow that's a very high quality food product for the consumer.
Germans always considered corn "animal food" and low brow so it's interesting to watch the USA "corn flake" varietal made on a truly industrial scale.
Be interesting to know what the capacity of that dump truck/trailer for the Class 8 would be. Seems *WAY* over the top for doing farm work which normally just use hoppers or some type of side dumping contraption.
Good practice for running a recycling center!
Whole operation gives new meaning to the term "bulk shipping on land"(and of the land) i guess I would say.
Make for a good wood pellet type Factory or manufacturing Trex decking etc.
Hopefully you find some sugar beet equipment. Most have not seen; I’m sure
Good video Mike, I wonder how long those corn rows are
It was a mile. Field was road to road long
Come on almost 100k
Ruth, that's where I live!
My first time seeing high moisture corn,what's the advantage over silage.
This is just the grain. This farm also chops whole corn for silage and this is just used to mix in the ration for more grain.
Are the farmers in your area planning to plant as much this time on caught of high fertilizer prices
Lots of guys locked their fertilizer in last year.
When did Drago launch an 18 row 30 inch corn head? Personally, I find that to be a bit big for that combine. I would run that on a class 10.
They tell me they bought this head in 2014
@@farmhandmike I had no idea they were around for that long!
It looks to me like the combine seemed to be handling that head just fine.
@@Snowtruckdriver as a general rule, for every 2 rows, you want to go up a class.
@@bcdieselsofficial I didn't know that
I'm thinkin Corn Bread made in a black iron pan !!!!
You should really checkout Atwater farms sugar beet operation while your in the thumb
Sounds Good and thanks for the suggestion.
A lots of farmers are going in hop town ship
Surprised at how high of moisture that corn is by how brown it looks. Where I'm at (midsouth) it would be around 17% maybe a little less or more depending on variety. But I can see that corn piling tall on that grain cart like high moisture corn does. Bet that guy wishes he had one of those Claas combines or a X1100 with that big of a head
I’m guessing he didn’t spray fungicide on. I’m assuming u do because u are further south. That is why the corn is not very green because fungicide cause the plant to stay heathy longer
I just got over having Covid a few days ago
Ruth is a village I live near deckerville
I like Mike less videos on UA-cam, from the imperial co California.
Quante file sono
Get that head on a Lexion 8800 and eat some corn
FJB and his handlers and let's go Brandon.
👍👍
Love the video but I feel like the music takes away from it. Much better while hearing the machines in action.
Thanks for watching and I see this is your second comment about the music. Let me explain as I have my reasons I've talked about in other videos. When I am taking drone videos the drone does not record sound. I have to record engine/machine sound separately and lay it into the drone clips. This is not so hard to do on most clips but others times it is about impossible to match it up and or this cold take lots of extra time to match up and between working a full time job, helping farm at home and running a UA-cam channel I am a little short on time especially during harvest. Rather than leaving the drone clips silent some easy music or a sound clip works good for me. All my videos still have some engine and or machine sound in them and some people really like the music I use. It is impossible to make a video that will please everyone but I try.
Just keep doing your best mike. I always appreciate the effort you put in for us. Love the variety videos you have.
@@farmhandmike Thanks for the response. I completely understand your reasons why it’s done that way. I very much appreciate your hard work and effort put into the videos. As you said you’ll never please everyone, and personally I think the music takes away from the video quality. I miss your old ones before you added it. One you did at Parkland farms in Ontario that was almost 40 minutes long with only sounds of the machines. Still one of the best harvest videos on UA-cam.
✌️✌️✌️🇧🇷
Puuuuro bla bla bla.!!! Como aburreeee.!!!
