    great video!!. I always love see AC equipment hard at work in the field. look to see if you have a block heater port be side the starter at the back of the block on that 190 XT series 3. my 72 AC 200 has one there. I don't know if the blocks are different form the 200.

    • @TimothyFluegel
      @TimothyFluegel  7 місяців тому +1

      Unfortunately there isn't one on this block. The engine in your 200 is 2900 mark 2 they call it. This one in the 190 is a 2900 mark 1, as far as I know the only difference is the extra hole for the inner block heater 🤦‍♂️😆

    Excellent corn. Nothing more satisfying than a great harvest after all the effort put in planting and growing season.

      Thankyou sir. I couldn't agree more with that statement. This year especially was nerve racking with the strange weather. It was nice seeing the grain for in the house like it was.

    That was some tall corn! Grandpa used to talk about corn being so tall he couldn't see over it from inside his old Gleaner. Glad you were able to get your cover crop planted this year, hopefully it gives you a good stand. The miss in your 7060 sucks, hopefully it's not hurt too bad. A friend of mine has a nice 185 and a gas D19 he's talked about selling, I wouldn't mind having the D19 but it's not in the budget. Thanks for the video, Tim! Hope you have a good one

      Thankyou Evan. We kinda forced the cover crp in but it's there and growing. I don't have any green at this point but it's established a good root bar already, so we should get a decent stand next spring. I'm guessing about 6in tall at best. I guess we'll see 😆. The 19 is a good tractor super reliable as long as you can afford to keep fuel in it 😆 our gas 19 will literally burn 3 to 4 gallons an hour just driving down the road 🤦‍♂️. But like I said my whole life no matter how cold you go hit the key on that 19 and it's running ready to go. Yaks for always watching and commenting Evan!

    I used an old A2 Gleaner on some corn for years and would think the average yield of the day was probably 3 to 4 times what it was when the combine was designed and built. I would have to run in 1st gear to prevent over taxing the threshing capacity of the machine. 😀

    • @TimothyFluegel
      @TimothyFluegel  7 місяців тому

      Yes sir when the L was designed 200bpa corn was pushing the threshold more 300 isn't that rare anymore is it lol. Mask of that story though, is he was going way too fast there wasn't he 😆

    Those soybeans look better than what I've seen around here. I seem some of the best corn I've ever seen around here. That's a nice ear. Looks like it filled out completely. Need to put some sideboards on those grain carts.

    • @TimothyFluegel
      @TimothyFluegel  7 місяців тому +1

      Thankyou Robert! This year was an interesting year. Almost 2 dry but we got the right amounts of rain at important times, the corn around here really flourished this year.

  • @turbo5488

    I can remember when corn was that high now a days it's not even that high. Now that's a good 9 to 10 ft high corn, that's a good thing

    • @jimbob8969
      @jimbob8969 7 місяців тому

      Several reasons why corn is not as tall. 1. Genetics obviously. 2 We plant corn earlier than in years past. Earlier planted corn has shorter nodes thus a shorter stalk.

    • @TimothyFluegel
      @TimothyFluegel  7 місяців тому

      People complain about tall corn as far as I'm concerned as long as it yields iys good corn lol. And when it's tall it just looks impressive on top of it 😆 thanks for watching and commenting Turbo!

    The soybeans looks pretty good Tim, bet it feels really good to have all the harvesting done and all buttoned up for the year 🚜 the sound on my phone wasn't really picking up on what you were saying so I got to get a new phone, have you ever had any problems with any of your tractors gelling up in the winter months?

    • @TimothyFluegel
      @TimothyFluegel  7 місяців тому +1

      Thankyou Matt! It's definitely a great feeling when you shut that shed for for the last time of the season 😆. I use FS fuel. So no sir no gelling problems, ever. I don't use additive or anything fs fuel just does what they claim it does, and in top of that it's got lubricants for the old fuel pumps so you don't have to add lubricant to your fuel, on top of better fuel efficiency and a cleaner running enginel. I highly recommend it. 😆

    The weed zapper concept seemed to work pretty well in those beans.

      Yes I'm very happy with it. It wasn't perfect by any means but I how it will get better year after year. Thankyou for watching and commenting.

    Your crops were way better than mine. The extreme heat and dryness really hurt us. What part of the world are you in? What variety corn do you use? That view of the interstate sure looks familiar, I'm sure I've been through there with trucks in the past!

    • @TimothyFluegel
      @TimothyFluegel  7 місяців тому +1

      I'm in north central Illinois west of freeport.Freeport. this was liberty brand corn. I couldn't tell ya the numbers. Then, I use viking brand for all my organic grain. We got lucky with the weather this year here. It was very hot and dry, but we got small amounts of rain at the right times this year that really saved the crops.

    After this dry year, it’s good to hear things turned out well. I sure didn’t expect yields to be that good. Congrats on a successful year.
    What have you got planned for winter projects?

    • @TimothyFluegel
      @TimothyFluegel  7 місяців тому

      Thankyou Dean, it was a load off my shoulders to see the grain flowing like it did this fall. We really didn't know what to expect.
      We've got dads 19 diesel in the shop right now, waiting for the head to come back. And also should have the 45d block back in a week or so. The are the 1st 2 projects. And you heard it 1st here Dean but I've got 4 count then 4 wd45 diesels out back that's not counting dads. At least 3 of them will run again with the original buda, and the other 2 we've got a couple plans for 😆 including a292 Chevy engin. The problem I was having with the 230 Buda engine was main bearings.... well I've over come that problem finally got multiple sets in the garage more brand new all sizes. I will be the new Buda guy by the time this is over 😆

    Could you please do a video on how to get started in organic farming. I’m in central Indiana and thinking I would like to try it. But don’t know how to get started. And if you can believe the information that you get You can’t trust anything anymore. I would greatly appreciate it.

    • @TimothyFluegel
      @TimothyFluegel  7 місяців тому

      I sure can. I'll have to actually use my head on this one though 😆 I'll try to do something befit Xmas here. I'll try to show some of the equipment that makes it come together and touch base on some of the paperwork and certification. Is there anything in particular you'd like to know? Or just the general gist of it all?

    The corn that you’re showing us isn’t supposed to be picked or shelled….. it’s suppose to be chopped…. It’s a wasted of stalk and hard on the old Gleaner…..!

    • @TimothyFluegel
      @TimothyFluegel  7 місяців тому

      No this is one of liberty flag ship numbers, the genetics are specific to high yielding grain corn.if you seen the sand corn field he was that was more what the rest of the farm looked like 7 to 8 ft tall maybey. The height of that corn was all about the soil health in that field. Any number he plants there does that, 308bpa 61# test weight and right at 18% moisture. Idk why anyone would wanna chop that..... but I'm a grain farmer, so ya can't ask for anything better if ya ask me.

  • @bugbomb8048

    Government considered organic or real organic….. there is a huge night and day difference….?

    • @TimothyFluegel
      @TimothyFluegel  7 місяців тому

      Could you explain the difference. I've been farming organic for 7 years and if anything the government is the main reason organic grain has any integrity. As much as it pains me to say that 😅. But anyone that gets certified through any agencies, all that agency does is works as a middle man for the usda, so when it boils down to it the only way to have certified organic grain is to make the government happy.
