Those look like really nice oats ...That old Deere combine is a real sweetheart.... Good seeing Dave getting a turn running the combine, doing what he loves to do.....Give er hell while the weather is nice.... Thanks Dave.
I was used to larger swathes. Dad planted Rodney oats out of the granary year after year. I would see a few grasshoppers who made it through the combine into the flair box. I think of your combine as modern because Dad was primitive, and liked things that way. Thank you Dave.
@@brycewiborg8095 These are Deon oats, a relatively new variety developed by U of M. We cleaned the seed from the field I combined two years ago. I seeded Rodney years ago too.
That was great seeing the 4400 out there getting the job done. Looks like you had it adjusted correctly. I just finished today getting my 4400 re-adjusted and serviced for harvesting corn, which should begin in the next couple weeks here.
@@Rollinghillsfarmsmn Depends on the year. The leaves are mostly off my beans, but the stocks are still green and are tough to combine. I actually thing my corn will be ready first.
@@tractortalkwithgary1271 Mine was a real fuel pig. I’m so happy that we found the diesel just to save money. The old 4400 is out back as a parts machine.
A friend would never bale straw until it was rained on once. He claimed it kept the dust to a minimum for his hogs. Thank you for the pleasant memories Dave.
Good morning Dawn and Dave ☕☕☕ Yup. Gotta change cylinder speed and air, concave is usually about the same though.. Clean grain in the bin is what counts 👍😎
@@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin I was surprised how different the settings were from the rye. I suppose the weight of the individual seeds was the difference.
Glad to see the old 100 series combine earning its keep! Sounds like youve got a bushing or two or something that needs attention in the shaker system as its knocking still as i know in an earlier video you had a frame rail break. Keep us posted on what you find?!
Back when i graduated high school, i tried buying a late modle 4420 with 1,200 hours on it. . . .the farmer just wouldn't part with it. I believe it still sits in his shed not moved. . .
@@classic89deerefever80 May be true: but it has the factory electric/hydraulic header control which was added for 1979 just before the switch to 4420 according to the John Deere website.
@@classic89deerefever80 Great info; thanks. I’ll update future videos. Please sub. We’ll be back with the combine next year but plenty of 1970’s JD plow and disc this fall.

@@brenterickson1695 Thanks. I need to work up more ground this fall for next year’s oats so I can play some more😉.
Thanks Dave for taking us along!
Morning Dave,coffee’s hot and old iron working…so far so good for a Thursday!
@@patrickbachman2184 Morning Patrick. Coffee and fog this morning for me.

Oats looked good in the bin. That is a good looking combine. You're right about it being the busy time of year.
@@farawayfarm2520 Thanks Will. I’m working up pastures now and trying to find time to spread manure that should have been spread in July…
Excellent video and a really nice combine…👍
@@HumbleHaymakers Thanks. We were lucky to find it.
We used to have a neighbor that would combine our oats with a 4400 John Deere.
We had our own pull type Deeres for several years
@@tractortalkwithgary1271 That 4400 may still be sitting in the back of a shed like mine was. Forgotten iron but still functional iron.
Good video
@@Machines85 Thanks

@@Machines85 We were at a neighbor farm about a mile from ours.
@@Rollinghillsfarmsmn yes. Nice to meet you

@@pagrainfarmer Thanks. Don’t you have beans first?

@@pagrainfarmer I noticed beans in southern MN are mostly dry and combines are working. (Yesterday) Corn is still mostly green.
I loved it
The 4400 that our friends had was a gas engine model as well!
Good morning Gary. Vacation starts today. We're taking the the camper up to the show in Albany MN this evening.
Last show this season.

@@brycewiborg8095 I think a rain or two makes the straw a brighter color and more attractive to customers. Not sure the cows care😊.
Legend has it that square bale is now in orbit with a Starlink chain of satellites

@@Rollinghillsfarmsmn weight and shape.. rye is probably closer to wheat.
Hopefully you had a bunch of nice days to get the straw and hay baled up.
@@pinesedgefarm1155 Thanks. It’s been a dry week. Everything got baled the previous week and now we’re into fall seeding.
