Thank you Jon! Your 570R looks much cleaner than ours. I’ve found these generic metric idler pulley bearings don’t last very long. About half the life of the old 9600’s
Thanks! I combine for a couple guys that the bill could pay for an ok older machine. They said they would rather pay the custom bill and get labor vs keeping a combine going.
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 its definitely a toss up. One day I will have my own. Seems like harvesting windows are getting shorter and I want the make sure the residue gets spread evenly out the back. If I understand correctly, can you spread the chaff and still windrow the straw with your combine?
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 do you know if the walker type John Deeres can do that or is there not enough room when the chopper is dropped to clear the spinners?
@@mn-1381 They never really ran spinners coming off the shoe Is that always just dropped directly behind the machine to drop straw on the 9000 series you rolled the chopper forward
Great video. I had an inspection several weeks ago with the JohnDeeretechnician. Just finished changing out the water pump. Everything else can wait till later. Picked up most of the parts last week. We should be ready as soon as we dry out from all the rain.
I have a dozen old walker machines here that i support and the tank sample is simply beautiful!. Almost got my 8820 back but then he sold it to a guy in south America
Dang it, you shoulda told me about that moly grease drying out a few years ago😆😆 I used moly the first year because the book said to but I notice a few bearings now it squirting out the flange😆
Working with the factory people they told us all 6 but the bigger thing would be to be cycling the variator. I want to do more lexion stuff because there's not much on TH-cam for the repair side of them. But I suppose it have to break down 1st period lol
Love the JD hit!!!👍😎🤣😂🤣😂 I've always said, JD makes the best grain drills, I prefer the double disc opener style vs the cut and scatter ones. Always good to check everything over before hand!!! If you don't have a thermometer, run it for a bit, shut it down and put your hands on everything you can.. you'll still find most of the things that will be issues.
Point one. There’s not one John Deere fella that could do what you just did because they’re just pretty boys who have to get their Mums permission to do anything. Point two. Us case guys clean our headers (I think the yanks call them combines) down after harvest and clean all the leftover drinks and snacks out of the cab before we put them to bed for the winter. Maybe not necessary with a lexion. Everything was fairly relevant though. Thanks.🇦🇺👍
Ha! Wonder how many guys took it seriously instead of laughing!! This will be the first winter with a shop So I can clean the combine after harvest instead of trying to clean it the day before it goes through the field. I am not washing in zero or sub zero. I tried to demo a Case but the Lexion ate it before I could get to try it....
Sexy Lexi) hopefully the drought didn't get you as bad as us ne otter tail Co. Corn done home farm we are usually 220 min, well avg 70bu, spread out west 10 miles 90bu, 200bu last year, n 10 miles about the same.. Haven't started beans talked to the biggest grain farmer our area just did a field 6bu dry land. so I hope 10bu beans, and hay what's that...shoulda bought crop ins lol..All the best with harvest
Holy hell I don't want to say it this way but I sure hope I do a lot better. West of me by oglevie Minnesota is 8 bushel beans and under a 100 bushel corn. This Winter contact me and I'll come down and we'll do an interview about your farm
Ours is on stay is day and they are letting the one from Texas proceed.. That's a normal it's a normal thing to do in a situation when you have 11 lawsuits of the same thing. The government missed their opportunity to appeal.
I learn more from you than my local dealer, simple and to the point information.
Ha ! Thanks

Never ran a combine in my life! Thanks for sharing Jon learned something's about how they function !👍
thanks. next year if i am organized come up for a drive!
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 thanks 👍 if I'm organized also lol????👍😂
Sure is a lot of items to check, that goes for any combine. I am kind of glad we hire that job out for right now! Good video Jon!
Thanks!

The chaff from cleaning can be spread or dropped independently of the chopper in back
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 do you know if the walker type John Deeres can do that or is there not enough room when the chopper is dropped to clear the spinners?

Pretty interesting for a silage guy like me. And you made me laugh a few times 😄

Nice!
We were dry all summer and now we are super heavy fog that makes the beans soft mush.
Great video! All combine Brands need to hire you to do a video like this for there combine.
Ha! Thanks.
They all work good if set up properly
I have a dozen old walker machines here that i support and the tank sample is simply beautiful!.
Almost got my 8820 back but then he sold it to a guy in south America
I probably should have adjusted the seat and steering wheel while i was there!
LOL , 😂
Can you make a video on how you started farming and maybe some advice for a farmer just starting
Yes good idea!
Dang it, you shoulda told me about that moly grease drying out a few years ago😆😆 I used moly the first year because the book said to but I notice a few bearings now it squirting out the flange😆
That will teach you for reading
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 😆🤣🤣🤓
Very good walk around Jon. Keep up the Lexion stuff. I was told you only have to grease any 2 of the six varaitor grease zerks??
Turn the radio all the way up

@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 humor??? Hell, it's the truth 😁👍😂🤣
The first thing to do is check for raccoons in between the fan and radiator
@@davecooke4009 I've seen some European foxes on the Internet. Lol
That would suck. Take out your fan
We have foxes around now I have something else to worry about. In your part of the world you might find a bear in your combine
Yep see more bear then foxes.

Hard to believe it was one of them where is as is kind of deals

Please don’t ever film yourself wearing your wife’s underwear 🤦♂️🤣🤣
Only a Lexion combine owner could come up with that intro 🤦♂️ Please spare us those details about your personal life 🤮
Dont cry to hard, if you cant laugh at it then your going to have a hard time here becuase thats funny! Especially if you see my green history.
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 I’d say the same to you 😉 🤣 laugh, don’t cry.
I was looking for a better come back
@@jared2168 sorry. I like teasing and after a while some thats what your mom said jokes. Hard to tell where people are at humor wise.
