    Its fantastic that you are so positive after three years of terrible crops that’s really stimulating and an example for us all when we whine over one year of losing 30-40 % of the crops to rain. Keep your good mood you have your wonderful family and the Lord. Next year it’s going to be a record good harvest. 🙏✌️

    Hi Mike,
    We use to cut with 12 old 95 John Deere combines and we would cut to the center of the field and cut a circle from the inside out and it worked really good. You guys should give it a try and see how it works. It made it easy for grain carts and trucks to get to all the machines too. You could kind of tell the center of the field by the low spot from mold board plowing but with GPS now you could find it easy.

      Later John Deere came out with the 9500 sidehill models and we had two of them with 30' headers.

    Great clean sample . You should tell everyone that farmers are receiving 1990 wheat prices and we should be receiving at least 15-20 dollars a bushel . Massive inflation, incredible expenses, drought everywhere and we receive 1990 wheat and grain prices.

    Hi Mike! Enjoy your videos a lot! It would seem to me the John Deere pays huge amounts of money designing their equipment. The engineers they hire to design said equipment paid exorbitant tuition to become engineers. Very intelligent people. So why didn’t they understand how a header is used? Any shade tree mechanic know the vibration and bouncing of a header would loosen those bolts. There no locking mechanism.

    • @georgepauls4159

      Ah, you are asking the million dollar question! When I was working at Caltech and Princeton, the newly minted “engineers” had a head full of knowledge, but none of it was practical knowledge. Things like jamb nuts or using the common thread sizes vs the hard to find ones were simply not taught, I spent a large part of my time explaining what makes something easy to make or easy to maintain vs what they were proposing. Got a little frustrated when they didn’t listen or acknowledge this…. My other grump is the using of really exotic threads like Wentworth to keep users from maintaining our own equipment
