Love the show. Laughed at the damn I’m good shirt. Worked with an Aussie that would say FIGJAM! Especially when something went right. FIGJAM = F I’m good just ask me.
When I was 16, we got a 1460 case-IH and boy were we big Pimpin... that replaced a 4400 I have a soft spot for deere, but the IH/Case-IH were life changing.... I currently live in West ALLIS, WI a village founded as Honey Creek, Wi, renamed as it was the village West of the Allis Factory... there are other businesses in the complex now, but I go to "The Old Allis Factory at a minimum, every other week as a heavy haul and specialized driver... Your videos make me want to farm again... I guess that's why I follow you...
Nice to see another Gleaner at work nice to able to bounce ideas of other guys we just finished beans in North Dakota our channel shows our yields where not as good as ours Good video
You have an interesting channel, for sure. Thanks for sharing your equipment stories. I didn't realize Kansas crops were so far ahead of other states. You're starting your 2025 harvest and they are still on 2024:)
Sounds like you run in a very similar rain situation that we do up here in southeastern Alberta, we can make some dang good crops but 7 years out of 10 we won’t grow more than half of average anymore. You guys also run older equipment like us besides our sprayer and one combine, we run an 87 case ih 4494, an 86 case ih 2394, a 75 case 1070 for tractors, when we get to seeding equipment we run an 03 case ih stx450 so i guess thats not too old for our area for seeding tractors, a 51ft new holland air drill with a 380bu cart, a case ih 7120 combine, a case ih 2188 combine, a 1660 case ih combine and the sprayer is an 09 case ih 3320. We have nice equipment but definitely not new by any means. Also run an 88 chevy 5 ton and a 79 ford ln600, our big truck is an 07 pete 378 with a 2017 45ft triaxle grain trailer.
We pulled out of the drought conditions here all summer, then late August, all of September,, the rain stopped. Currently in burn ban. But crops did great. 68 bu beans. Corn 250 No rain still in 10 day forecast
Soybeans are such a dirty crop to harvest but then running the head right on the ground you can't expect it to be clean. I agree with you don't need to start a fire when conditions are favorable.
Looks like really good beans to me. Yes fires in combines is no fun. Glad ya'll blew it out to start. Funny you mention John Deere having more areas to blow out. One would think the engineers would remedy that. But engineers seem to be on self guided tours here lately so don't seem to care about the farmers or mechanics much and some equipment needs a book to learn just how to fix it. I watch JTs barn & grill a lot and he has to work on his 6600 a whole bunch. His better combine is a 4400 so you know how he stands since ya'll wore out a 9300 and shipped it straight to Mexico.
I can’t say my old Massey combines are any better to work on than JD combines of that era. Gleaners are probably the easiest modern combine for a farmer to repair himself though.
Which slip clutch went off first or second one we just did a video where the feeder chain shaft broke the new style 2" style uses on the new S series combines LOL
@@KesslerGrainfarms was the slip clutch for the beater in the draper then I think the feederhouse. I forget now. Took this video 7 days and 800 acres ago.
Can you do the firecracker trick? I kinda feel like either you or JT are the ones that would play along! As a former farm kid, i need to live vicariously throughnyou guys...
good video nice to see the gleaner would be nice to see the massey in action
They’ll be out once I get to corn.

Good video
I’ve cut plenty of 20 bushel and less beans the previous three years. Nice to actually be able to put some crop through my combine for once.
Looks like Mother Nature has been good to you this year . Great video , hope harvest goes well . 👍
We could sure use a rain now but August and early September were definitely wet.
R65 handles that 35' header no problem in good beans.
It’s only 30’ but it handles it great.

I shouldn’t edit late at night after a full day of harvest.
Nice looking R65!
It’s one heck of a good machine.

Those are some great looking beans!
@@jtsbarnngrill6873 best dryland beans I’ve seen in 5 years. Last three years we averaged under 20.
You might try those paddle like extensions on your real spikes from May West .
@@rongrose3746 would be useful in low yielding crops for sure.
Gleaners and binders both good dependable equipment😊
Yes they are!
The JD combines I've seen around here are the filthiest machines. AL B.
Lots of nasty ones around here too. For multiple reasons.
It looks like a turtle!
Slow and steady wins the race.

We have a dry forecast for quite a while. Been running crazy hard. Keep it up and I’ll be done in October. That’s never happened before.
We have an R65 66 and S77 and I’ve never once opened rotor door to get air filter out. Not sure what I’m doing wrong but 😂😂
You must be more forceful with your air filters than me.

A clean combine is a happy combine.

But they are special! They are CRST specials!
my first combine i ever drove was a jd 45
Classic.

Whats your BE point there? Honestly i have been out of Ag since 08, so in your area, whata a break even BPA?
We aim for 30 bushel beans and 80 bushel corn. Can have years when it’s double that. And years we get zero.
Can you do the firecracker trick? I kinda feel like either you or JT are the ones that would play along!
As a former farm kid, i need to live vicariously throughnyou guys...
I usually change my air filter out after bean harvest. Could try it out then.
