There is something special about Grant can't tell if it's his drive or his obvious passion for farming maybe it's just super exciting watching someone build a farm out of nothing.
Grant, I know where that combine/dealer is. My dad puts our combine in there for storage. They give farmers the option to store there combine. It’s very helpful
Many of the combines might be in for the “service special”. You can take them in, they check them over, wash them, and fix things that they find (if you want them to fix it).
Chris Rogers checked the website after. Very few were actually for sale. I think there was only 2 for sale at the locations I went to. So about 99% of those combines at dealers is the customers.
What I love about this is that it shows how much of farming ISN'T riding around in fancy equipment. It's counting tiny plants, looking at missed spots, and controlling runoff. What a fantastic video and an underrated channel. Thanks Grant!
I'm extremely glad your first year crops are doing very well and that you have the drive and passion along with the people to help you out along the way. Its also heart warming seeing farmland go up for sale and it being bought for farming instead of housing developments.
Its real nice seeing so many people helping you and giving you some time of their day from the pioneer dealer to the deere dealer and im sure many more
If we have a row that doesn’t plant then we usually just leave it. If it is more than an acre then we will go back to replant it like if water got on top of a certain area or something like that. Love the videos!
When you have a skipper in a field at that is over 30 yards you just try to do better next year. Especially if you don't catch it right away it doesn't pay to plant it. Hope you have a great weekend
Always enjoy your video's there awesome. I think after your first harvest of soybeans the next planting season you will want to land roll your beans and after watching other farmers video's some say they do it so that the bean head don't dig into the soil or hit rocks it just glides across the land.
Glad your on look for good combine I’d personally recommend and John Deere 9500 or combine similar to that. But that’s my personally preference. We run a New Holland Twin Rotor 96 and 99 one on beans with gps and other on a 6 row corn head. Good luck Grant
As much as I like and run New Holland combines I was going off picks I based off of the scale of the farm either John Deere 94,95, or 9600 series combine or maybe a small STS combine. That or either a Case IH from a 1660 to 2388. But will see.
When looking for a combine You also have to be able to keep the combine full when you are running it through the field. If you don’t keep enough grain flowing through the machine by having to small of a header for the combine or driving to slow with the right sized head you can loose grain out the back pretty easy. I would definitely have the dealers try and find you the best combine and header to fit those acres. Glad to see you are getting good emergence. Definitely be patient that corn will be to your knees faster that you can blink when the temps get to the 70s and 80s
Just trying to help you out should put some breaker run or clean stone underneath the culvert. With the dirt underneath snd on top there is a good chance that the dirt will end up pulging the culvert snd then the culvert will obviously plug
Great vid! I worried a little when you panned up and showed the water running toward a field. Thanks for showing the crop progress and asking great questions.
At my dealership in Northeast Iowa we store the combine and we also do checkover of the combine to try and fix anything can before harvest. We will store around like 20 to 30 combines a year.
Check the cab filter on the back of the cab. It helps with your a/c unit on the tractor. If it it is really dirty then it will cause condensation on the inside of cab
Great Videos!!! RL SQUAD! Hey man think about putting in some Railroad ballast on your roads and over the culvert. It will help come harvest and give you a good base layer if you ever decide to put road bond down. Keep up the good work.
We run a Case IH 2388 combine, and I know several people with 2388's and 2366's and they love them. If you are going with a 6 row corn head a 2366 would be ideal, because a 6 row on anything bigger will throw corn out the back if you don't go really fast to keep it full.
Every year you can No Till and Cover Crop is putting money in your pocket in terms of soil health. Good luck. Looks like a good stand for your first efforts.
You can always tell who has John Deere combines, the geese really love those farmers. They are really efficient I think they can harvest and seed next year’s crop at the same time.
JD 9770 would be a perfect combine for you, don't worry if it's to big that's a much better problem than if it's to small, also I would make sure to get it with a " mud hog" PRWD that's where the back tires on the combine can be engaged as well for extra traction when you have wet conditions in the fall Message me if you have any questions I've worked with combines all my life
If you’re going to use a 6 row head in corn you don’t need anything bigger than a class 5 combine. We pushed an 8 row with our S550 and it wasn’t a problem at all. My biggest advice for you is stay away from the 60 series combines like the 9560sts, 9660sts and so on. That was the first year of the rotary combines and a lot of guys have had trouble with them. Another thing is try to stay away form combines around the 3000 hour mark because that’s usually when the all the belts start to need replacing. Good luck
It's actually more interesting and fun to watch your brain working on your real farming career, than it Has been watching the Squad for years on FS, to be 45 years younger! I would do the same! Wishing you the Best in all your ventures! Just promise never try the chit squad does on the real farms or roads Eh! 😉🇺🇸🤔👍🏼
Most John Deere dealers in central iowa rent spaces for farmers to store combines for the season because of the size most don’t have barn space for them. In my honest opinion you should look at around a 9610 or 9650 combine with a mud hog on it, prefect size for a 6 row or 8 row head and 25-30 foot platform, just my opinion love the videos.
Love the videos, as for a combine, I have worked on red and green, both real good, but I recommend a 2366 or 2388 Case for a starter combine, parts are easy to get and easier to work on from a mechanical view. Look on Machinery Pete or tractor house
I think you should go for a John Deere 9500 or a 9400 combine. They work really well with 6-row corn heads. The 9500 might run an 8-row corn head, but since your planter is a 12 row, a 6-row planter would work well. My neighbor has a 9400 that they run an 8-row head and a 6-row head-on. Just my input.
At all Van Wall dealers for ag they have those barns with combine waiting to be serviced and prepped for next year. Its pretty cool when they were explaining it when we toured a dealer.
I used to work for Van Wall, and the farmers in the area pay the dealership to store their combine every year. Then the dealership will bring it into the shop when they need work in the off season and inspect it.
Nice to see you looking for your equipment wisely. I would recommend a johndeere 9650 sts 9760sts or a 9500 . Both combines are decent machines that are going to be available due to trade ins and are large enough but yet not too big or expensive. The combine might be your most expensive equipment purchase yet but a necessary one . Good luck with the search. Take care and stay safe remember your living your dream !
I bought my combine back in December. I’m amazed at how much the price went up since then. There are not as many on the market now. Its a sellers market. You may be money ahead hiring it out.
So the reason you see a lot of combines in the dealership lots right now is that deere offers a winter service special and they go through and check the machine for anything that is out of spec or needs to be replaced. All you have to do is sign off on the things that need to be replaced / put back into spec. To be honest when I send my machines in most of the stuff the come back with through are replaceable parts that I run another year. They like to say some things are "worn out" when they aren't, but the services are still great. You can do a three machine bundle so I generally do my two combines and then another machine depending on certain conditions. Like this year I bought a new planting tractor and sent it in just to get a further idea of the condition of the machine.
That skipped row may best serve as something to remember for next year... If I was going to replant it, I guess it would depend on how far along the crop is, could the replant to catch up before it was time to combine the field and would it ultimately amount to enough bushels to be worthwhile. Whatever you decide, no doubt in my mind you will do fine either way.
We use the same Sinclair you go to, our combine is in there storage because they service and inspected it and will store it for little to nothing most of the time
Some dealers will keep your combine if you have them service it till they have time to work on it then you take it home after they are done working on it but you have to have them do what ever it needs
Your first-time cornfield looks good. That's a lot of combines!! Whatever combine you get, as long as it works for you, awesome! For me, it has to be a John Deere. Great video Grant.
Great video, Grant! I hope you can find a nice combine. For that one row skip of corn that goes on for a while--we would use our small two-row planter on a smaller tractor. Maybe you have a neighbor with a small planter and tractor like that?
I know the deere dealership near the heinold pig barn has that set up and they store customers combines there. Lots of money under that roof. Crops are coming along pretty good. Just be patient everything will grow. Keep up the great work man
They’re getting worked on during the summer just to make sure it’s all set and ready to get on it. I’d recommend getting a 9600 combine because they’re cheaper than a 9500 but they’re also one walker wider
Noooo Grant....not all JD dealers are the same! Haha. Glad you’ve got a good one, we’re all JD and our dealer sucks, but I suppose that’s what happens when deere allows the same investment group who owns Applebee’s and planet fitness to buy up a lot of the former privately owned dealers in NYS and PA. We have one last locally owned dealer in our state, O’Hara machinery, which is 50 miles further than our local one, and we chose to do business we them! Great video
A nice 2388 case would be a good starter or a 9750 9760 or 9770 john deere would be a good machine just have to keep them clean they're known for wrapping material around the rotor bearing and catching on fire

@@granthilbert5632 Farm equipment as at a premium these days. My son interns at our local VanWall and the have just a few things out front. It’s wild!
They are probably all getting a GreenLight

I have to say Grant you are setting a fine example for the younger folks on here. Good Job.
It makes it even a greater Sunday when grant post a video

A lot of people help me out behind scenes too! Get a lot of helpful text messages and phone calls!
And suddenly I skip everyone else to check your progress out!! Keep it up.. enjoying the journey
Thanks for the great videos Grant. We are really enjoying your amazing journey, many thanks.
Yay! Soon to come is a combine! Then harvest vlogs!!
Harvest vlogs are honestly the best
We still got a lot of months to harvest! But will be on my mind everyday!😅
@@granthilbert5632 i know how much money you got 999999
Hello from Saskatchewan, Canada great videos thanks for sharing
Highly recommend 9600 combine. My dad had hundreds of hours in one and he loved it. I’m gonna purchase one when i’m older.
Grant hit the jackpot for combines
If we have a row that doesn’t plant then we usually just leave it. If it is more than an acre then we will go back to replant it like if water got on top of a certain area or something like that. Love the videos!
That week of rain was crazy!

Awesome to see you stopping by my hometown's John Deere in Grinnell. Great place. Love the channel!
I always look for people planting/doing tractors. Then I found you thanks grant
Keep up the videos having a great time watching you grow with your new farm
Love to see a new video. Keep them coming. Thanks for sharing.
Man i wish you the best in this journey!!! I hope they rent you equipment!!!🤘🤘🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏🙏 Too help on your farm!! And you become big!!🙌
Great video. Crop looks good. Keep up the good work.
Keep up the great work Grant! It makes my day too see you posting videos of your farm.
The water could just be condensation forming and then when the outside heats up it rolls down the window and collects in there. That's my guess.
Happy birthday Spencer
Hurray! Thanks Grant for the new video! Always look forward to them. Take care and all the best!
The dump trailer tarp has. Seen better days!! Lol
Love seeing All the Green Combines . Farm is looking Real Good .
This is cool stuff. I grew up on a farm but I never really knew why I was there. Thanks for making these vids.

Another great vid Grant, love seeing these pop up in my subscriptions
We have a 1998 8300 and after a rain we get water in the exact same spot that you do. My best guess would be the seal above the window!
Wow, so much I didn't think about when starting a farm, Thank you
My favourite farming channel ❤️

I would recommend a nice 1990s 9500 series. We just bought one last year and the only issue, was header repairs for our threshing head.
I really like your video’s. You do an excellent job of narrating and editing. Keep up the good work.
Congrats on the crops, looks like you are off to a good start for the year

Lots of people over winter send there combines in to dealer ships to get them tuned up for the next harvest season.
Good luck to you brother. Can't wait to see how the harvest goes. Great vids btw!
Your the best, Grant !!!!!!!!!

Way too big for his operation

Rear window seals are a pain. Put a new one on and put some one sided tape above where it sits👌
We have 2 9770 John Deere combines that have duals in the front and we run 6 row headers with them. They work perfectly
A nice 2388 case would be a good starter or a 9750 9760 or 9770 john deere would be a good machine just have to keep them clean they're known for wrapping material around the rotor bearing and catching on fire
