@@LVFFarmVlogs Yeah, here we get some warm temps and things start to dry out, but then we get rain. Fields are pretty soggy. We are supposed to get 3-5 inches of snow on Saturday - great!
Well I was pretty awesome Charlie I enjoyed learning about those John Deere combines and I love that brochure just takes me back to when I was a young kid looking at them
Wow, a very well.lut together video Mr Charlie! I loved hearing the background of those combines! I love SBF"s 3300, it purrs like a kitten!! Lots of very interesting heads there that I had no idea were even made!! Thank you very much for taking the time to do this one sir!! Look fwd to more!!
Thanks Nelson. I appreciate your kind words and the way you support my channel. Yeah, Soybean Farmer's 3300 does run well. Hopefully you'll hear my 4400 this year as I harvest various crops with it - corn, oats, and soybeans. They are oldies, but goodies. And hopefully, one day, we'll see your Gleaner in action.
@@pagrainfarmer Yes sir Mr Charlie, I am really looking fwd to the journey with you this season!! Fingers crossed my friend, the ole gleaner will be field ready for next year 😉
That 50 series head you first showed in the brochure.... was a row crop soybean head..... it incorporated the cutting and gathering chain/belts that were used on the row crop heads used on silage cutters...........My neighbor had one........used in soybeans that were bad for reel shatter and your harvest speed was greatly increased because of the butt feed end of the stalk to the cross auger....... Roots could cause big problems.....used Hex drive shafts.. that would barber pole....making replacement a torch out to replace repair..... The heads were also heavy......
They didn't work too bad for beans, were nice in sunflowers...................used them for other crops to, but don't know anything about running in those. Was some 3300's around, quite a bit of 44 and 6600's.................But it seemed everyone had atleast owned a 6620 at some point here where I am.
Enjoyed the communication.........Look forward to future interaction..... This is basically my reason for being on this medium....Sorta a grown up show and tell.....There isn't much chance i'll become rich or famous...... so it's for shits and giggles
@@farmingforfunandprofit940 Yep - none of us will become rich or famous over any of this - but it's nice to connect with others who also enjoy farming and the associated "toys".
@@tpfromcentralpa1692 I had wondered what they used for sunflowers - not that we have any in our area, but 3 years ago my wife and i drove out to South Dakota and saw lots of big fields of them.
Looking at purchasing a 7700 Turbo. My dad is only familiar with the 4400. This is helpful learning the differences that mostly seem to be the same combine just bigger.
Oh, and I want to add - my neighbors just bought a 7720 a couple years ago and really like it. Their operation is larger than mine so they needed the additional capacity that a 7700/7720 would provide.
My friend thank you for taking the time to put this together I found it interesting. Back in the day when they were recommending the 213 head as a match for the 3300 combine I'm pretty sure that was based on the fact everybody was planting soybeans on 30 inch rows back then. Jump forward nearly 50 years and with the Advent of better over-the-top herbicide programs most went to planting on 15-inch Rows, I can tell you from experience the 213 head is not a good match for the 3300 with soybeans planted on 15-inch Rows. You can very quickly overwhelm the feeder house and create a huge clogged up mess. When opening a field I'm in first gear with the variable speed pulled all the way down. once I get the field opened up I usually just waste about 2 ft of the header so I can get a better forward ground speed. A 10-foot head-on the 3300 would have been a much better match. Thanks for the video my friend, I really liked that picture where the sides were cut away so we could see the internals. 🙂☕☕
Makes sense. I clearly remember watching some of your harvest videos where you were only using a portion of your overall cutting width in soybeans. The problem is, what other choice do you have? There were much older series of heads that were narrower than 13 feet, but would they attach to your 3300? You're kinda stuck. Thanks, my friend, for your continuing support of my channel. It means a lot.
Corn and Bean yields were much less back when these machines came out in 1970. Back then 100 bushel corn and 30 bushel beans were considered bumper crops. Now those yields are considered a crop failure.
I really like Agriculture history as well. Thank you for sharing
I know ag history isn't everybody's thing, but I figured some people would enjoy it. Very glad you did! How's the weather up there?
@@pagrainfarmer Still cold here, but it looks next week we could start seeing above freezing temps. Can't wait for all this snow and ice to disappear!

Well discussed and very interesting Charlie, thanks for making this video
Thank you Jan. I appreciate your continued support.

Yeah, I thought it might bring back memories for some people. So glad you enjoyed it.
Pretty neat brochure!
Thank you! I thought it was worth sharing. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks for the info. I didn't really know anything about that head. None of those that I knew of around here. Thanks for commenting and viewing.

Yes - that's a pretty accurate statement.Everything is very similar.

Nice video, very interesting.
Thank you! I was hoping people would like it. I find farm history and the back story of farm equipment fascinating.

AG Wild has a older version of a swather . Hey thanks for sharing, enjoyed watching! Makes me wish I’d bought one new back in the seventies
Glad you enjoyed this, Cousin Scott. I appreciate your support of my channel, my friend.
Very nice ❤❤❤🎉🙏
Thank you!
Pretty cool. I use a 244 corn head and a 13' Quick-tatch grain head on my 3300. I have all the fancy warning lights :)
Yeah I remember the 2 row corn head from your videos. That’s awesome about the warning lights. Wish I had them. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Fun fact for you Charlie, the overall length of a 3300/4400 is 4 inches longer than a 7700.
I would never have guessed that! That IS interesting. Thanks for watching and commenting.
How did that happen. 🤔
