it is a good thing you replaced the clutch in that combine before you went to the mud with it. nice fight, looks like you are winning. thanks for the video.
Man, I don't think I would plant that variety of corn again. That's as bad of down corn as I've seen in sometime. You should have better stalk strength on those wide rows. Your dad is doing a hell of a job digging it out. Those rice and canes are earning there keep. I give you credit for putting this out for all of us to see, I wouldn't be so brave. Take care, See you next post.
We had a bad wind storm in January uproot the corn. The stalks didn't break, the ground was so muddy from the warmth and rain. The little patch of down corn was on top of the ridge in the field. The same storm blew over our grain auger, which we thought was secure.
Down corn that bad I've seen Dad change to the grain head and slow down and run it all thru. You can get more by not trying to run the corn up the chutes. I know your 40 miles from home and that sounds weird to people but it does work on down corn.
I have thought about using the grain head for down corn. There was only a couple acres that were down. We had a bad windstorm in January that uprooted the corn.
Boehmman that a wet field looks asif when it rains does not drain well wonder if plateaus on the top of the hill and the rainwater just stands there wow the combine was digging into the soil.
Boehmit is clear what is going on is a depression on the hill top, it's like a blow and the rain does not drain what one can do is cut a trench that would allow it to drain the clay it hold moisture but if trenched correctly would allow it not to stand and all those tree don't help matter either but it would be the first and last time would rent that field and it being 40 miles away wow you're loosing more then you would gain from that field. It does not belong to you but someone else let them correct for what you would be doing is correct their problem for them and to their benefit so you are correct to move on and if 65 acres field were mine would plant in grass of course would want more acres to increase your yield to make it more profitable for yourself.
The question I have is why is the dump auger placed so low on the combine? It makes a lower center of gravity on the road if the grain tank is full I guess. I have a feeling if I met anyone one the highway stopping while they passed would be better than tipping over. Or pulling the head behind on a cart would be safer.
These combines were built before they started putting the "turret unloaders" on them, with the riser auger from the bottom of the tank and a 90 degree elbow and gearbox inside the auger, then the cross-auger tube going out to the truck being mounted much higher... This was sort of a predecessor to the "turret unloader" in that it had a "box" at the bottom where it pivoted that allowed the auger to fold and unfold and run at different angles of the tube (IIRC) unlike my older combine which is set up like the Gleaner-- you either fold the auger back or fold it forward to unload, and it locks into a "stub auger" on the side of the grain tank that drives the auger, but it is fixed at just the one angle, either extended or retracted no "in between" like turret unloaders... Either kind works just fine, just that the turret style gives the highest auger clearance/height, which is important when you start dealing with huge auger carts or semis sitting on higher ground, so you have enough clearance to get over them in rolling field conditions without anything hitting... Later! OL J R :)
Why would you keep going with the row units plugged up your just laying more corn down. Did it never freeze there during the winter to take it off. If you ever have that happen again try using your grain head to harvest the corn it really works good for situations like that
The corn harvest videos of the past few days are all from the same two fields that are far away. The Second smaller field with the down corn averaged over 100 bpa.
Rain. We had lots of rain, put that on top of our heavy clay of southwest Ohio, and you get stuck. I chisel plowed some in April, and waited out rain most of May, we didn't plant anything until June 9. I'd like to plant in May. It did get fertilized. The fields in this video aren't the greatest to begin with. As far as looking thick, there's no leaves left on the stalks; a few places were thin on germination, which I think I had some crows picking out the seeds.
Yes, it's a gopro hero 4. It works well for us, but the sound can be weak if I don't speak loudly at the camera. We tried an external mic, but with little improvement. Wow!! I didn't think we'd spread around the globe. thanks for watching.
I want to, and we do. But with a late planting date I was waiting for dry down. Also, I bought the K to trailer out there, for which I was waiting for frozen ground. No freezes, and a clutch replacement later, we drug the TR 40 miles. I am not going back next year.
I think seed was picked by birds, and possibly too dry after germination. The corn was planted end of June. And this field is only in its second year of row crops.
I didn't want to wait for anymore of it to go down, or for the deer to eat more. I figured I made a few hundred of the field, better than losing a few thousand.

I'm glad you enjoy it. It went well enough. No clutch issues.

-Nice video, especially the parts showing the work through the down corn.
Thank you. I trying to show everything, good and bad.
With that deep tread it will work in that mud and that's alot of down corn
I was in mud like that. Had to steer with the brakes or you couldn't stay on the row. I can almost smell the corn!
I still need to fix the brakes on My Gleaner K. That will be murder this fall without them.

Boehmman that a wet field looks asif when it rains does not drain well wonder if plateaus on the top of the hill and the rainwater just stands there wow the combine was digging into the soil.
The ridge top really held the water, with little slope, it does not run off. And its all heavy clay soil.

What was the Moisture on that corn in February?
Looks like you guys are winning the battle!
Yep, we made a mess of ruts, but we're done with corn!!
are you harvesting early or late ? and you should paint the wagons to match tractor !
Its very late for 2016, or somehow incredibly early for 2017. We'll see about the paint.
thank god for rice tires. how were the yields for ya?
All total out there, 64 bpa. The smaller second field averaged over 100.
Why would you keep going with the row units plugged up your just laying more corn down. Did it never freeze there during the winter to take it off. If you ever have that happen again try using your grain head to harvest the corn it really works good for situations like that
I think there is more videos with more back story you need to watch. It did freeze, but we were fighting other combine issues.
I'm not giving you shit just asking that's all I like your videos
4:35 dead mouse in the hopper?
want to know a horrible sound feed that rake through a Hammermill lol
Yikes, I have lost silage forks to the silage blower before.
So is this new field giving you a better yield?

Boehm Farm - Why plant in June not like may or April. Also did you put anhydrous on that corn, it's not very thick.
Rain. We had lots of rain, put that on top of our heavy clay of southwest Ohio, and you get stuck. I chisel plowed some in April, and waited out rain most of May, we didn't plant anything until June 9. I'd like to plant in May. It did get fertilized.

That kind of cool how much ground will change because we live in champaign county Ohio and there is some clay not much.
In comparison to us down here, you have fantastic ground.
what camera do you have ? gopro??
I like your videos .
Robert from Finland.
Yes, it's a gopro hero 4. It works well for us, but the sound can be weak if I don't speak loudly at the camera. We tried an external mic, but with little improvement. Wow!! I didn't think we'd spread around the globe. thanks for watching.
it would probably be great corn if you didn't plant it in october
We didn't, it was way back in June.
Indiana Row Crop , I caught the sarcastic humor.😆
@@boehmfarm4276 Why not i may?
How come u don't harvest in September-November?
I want to, and we do. But with a late planting date I was waiting for dry down. Also, I bought the K to trailer out there, for which I was waiting for frozen ground. No freezes, and a clutch replacement later, we drug the TR 40 miles. I am not going back next year.
There are some growing pains too. In the past two years, I have more than doubled the amount of land we farm.
Called " circumstances beyond our control " ! Stuff happens .
how come u dont plant 30 inch rows
I'll make a video explaining that this spring. But it boils down to cost, convenience of storage, and sweet corn.
Did it flood? Corn is real thin in some areas.
I think seed was picked by birds, and possibly too dry after germination. The corn was planted end of June. And this field is only in its second year of row crops.
Ah I see. And from what it sounded like, you won't be running it this year?
I am not going back there, the distance is too great.
Boehm Farm I don't blame you. 40 miles probably takes a few hours on the combine.
Two hours and forty five minutes.
That does not look fun.
The only fun part was that nothing broke.
The corn not even worth harvesting and why didn't you guys just wait until it dried up
I didn't want to wait for anymore of it to go down, or for the deer to eat more. I figured I made a few hundred of the field, better than losing a few thousand.
