    My family got out of farming several years after our parents passed on. These videos are awesome and seeing the changes to farm equipment is great, my brothers & I were excited when we could harvest 9 rows of peanuts and run 2 combines at the same time with a John Deere 4020 and Illiston picker's and combine. Thanks Laura farms

    Really enjoyed the video. This and most of your posts make me feel "I am there"; and I could almost feel everything going on with the equipment and also smell everything going on, especially the beans and the residue (stems and plummies). In Missouri we sometimes call the pods, stems, etc. coming out of the back of the combine - "plummies". Header reversers are/were sure a great invention. Spent a lot of time on my own, similar, John Deere combines.

    Laura and Grant, I can understand how easy it would be to get the combine clogged-up with the bean stalks being so green. Your new FuelMate looks good, your dad is having your old one, I believe.

    You have the reel always on the good speed: not to slow but surely not to fast.
    I have seen people combining this week where the beans were combed out of the pot's before they could reach the combine.
    Good job, and by god what is the stuf green, for sure there will be some beans going on the field with the straw.

    It was interesting.
    Tough beans to harvest but you all are making it work. Not the best of conditions but my compliments to you all for taking your time and making it work. Good job.
    Gage is a good helper for you.
    Laura you are doing good with the semi with the driving and shifting and all that stuff. Doing good Laura.
    You all take care and be safe. Thanks for everything.

    Great video, years ago I used a class dominator combine with class lifters fitted to the header. Great bit of kit the lifters literally lift the crop of the floor allowing the cutters under the crop. JD equipment is great but I don’t think they use lifters on their combine heads.

  • @kevink4914
    @kevink4914 8 місяців тому +8

    😂😅 I may say it’s crazy on how we loose the hang of shifting when we haven’t been in the truck in a while 😂 it’s been 18 years since I drove truck for a farm so I am certain that I will be a little bit out of the loop on as well 😅😂

    Pro tip. Until you get the timing of shifting gears in a non synchronized transmission, try double clutching between gears. It helped me get the timing figured out.

    Go against the fallen down soybeans.
    And check the tire tracks of combine for loss. If it lays on top on track it's loss out combine.
    If it's squeezed in the ground it's header loss...

    @jonathananderson371 8 місяців тому +1

    I only farmed as a kid but we were able to adjust the reel speed on our New Holland unit. Also it seems like your reel could be set closer to the sickle bar. With a reel speed faster than the ground speed and a one inch clearance between the reel tips and the sickle bar, we handled downed crop much better. 🚜

  • @Bob.G3165
    @Bob.G3165 8 місяців тому +2

    When it's all your gauges at once that's the accessory bus circuit. Probably try a new accessory fuse first(20A resettable) and if that doesn't fix it then it's probably the accessory relay. That's usually behind the instrument panel on a Pete. When you've got the instrument panel loose replacing the relay look for any wire harnesses rubbing on metal brackets.
