  • How Bad Could it be?! Today’s corn stubble is as tough as nails. Don’t let it damage your expensive combine tires and tracks, invest in May Wes Stalk Stompers. We received two inches of rain and doubled our rainfall for the year. Unfortunately we also got some heavy wind with the rain. Our corn didn't fair well. #CropUpdate

    Sorry about the wind problems. Spent 30 years farming so am well aware of Mother Nature problems. Wouldn't have wished it to be any other way. Always heard and believed "Next Year !!! " I was concerned for you at 14:00 when you were out of the skid steer and the lift arms were still up ! Assumed you crawled under the lift arms . I am concerned about safety in those cases after knowing of injuries and deaths as a result of that. I know how Jim and his wife feel after 50 years, my wife and I will celebrate 58 years soon. Congratulations to them!!

    funny how it goes to much rain or no rain. i remember when i was a kid on the farm and we dealt with it every year. i remember having to use a stone boat and a sickle bar to get the corn off and fed it into the chopper to blow the corn into the silo for silage because it was to wet to get on the fields. farmers are the backbone of this country all i can say is god bless you all

  • @1striperon
    @1striperon 2 роки тому

    In the early ‘60’s we had a wind storm that blew down our corn. Other farmers in town had the same down corn. We teamed up with three other farmers and cut the corn going against the wind direction. We picked up quite a bit of the blown down corn. The team of 4 harvesters went to all 4 farms to help each other out. When the harvester reached the end of the row, it went back across the field as fast at it could, then started cutting again in the direction of the blowdown.

    The 612c corn head needs to have an updated check valve kit (BXE10670) installed to make the hydraulics compatible with the new combine. Deere changed production in 2016 and moved the check valves to all header equipment and removed them from all the combines at that time. This design change reduces hydraulic leaks at the multicoupler connection between combine and front-end equipment.
