Well we all know that it won’t hit the field until you have gone through the whole unit from top to bottom. Should make your harvest a sweet one this year.
I was just thinking (I know I know) William and Tim will be looking back on these videos one day much like I've looked back on the pictures of my Granddad and my Uncles, man, I wish they had had videos back in the 50's- 60's!
I'm anxious to see how this performs in the field. Will it handle as expected or will it be too big and unmanageable for the smaller plots and the effort of getting it there ? Thanks Wes, I hope it all meets your expectations. 👍😊
i think lawyers need to step in and say your charging too much for heads vehicles. make manufacturers bring down prices so everyone can afford stuff. So people will buy affordable this or that. Not look at Johnny bucks a plenty with a monocle or the monopoly guy.
If you you had come up with the tool you'd have been smart patenting it before approaching the manufacturers as decades as a family friend who is in his 90s who you remind me a lot of as fix anything or improve machines to work better. For decades he used to work for multiple farms who he could have chared three times his hourly rate and still been less than half the dealers hourly rate. One year decades ago when Claas Matador combine was still a young machine a neighbour replaced 1 of their 2 combines with a JD though the drivers kept whining about the rigid steps getting busted on rolling ground so he came up with a folding mechanism so it didn't get wrecked but could be switched into place both from the top and the bottom. The farm was really impressed and told the dealer about it they came out took loads of photos then a couple of JD engineers came out to look at it. Then the following year when they replaced their other combine with another JD it came with his system on it. He was still salty about it in the 90s as he didn't get any recognition for it not even a pat on the back. Not that it particularly helped the dealership in the long run as JD screwed them over when they "restructured" their dealership.
I’m excited to see harvest! You have busted your a$$ and this is like jumping several levels and you didn’t bow down to the government or the banker! You are an example of real farming!
Do you know where that combine was sold brand new? There was a New Holland combine sold out of Mitchell, SD that had the auger fall off with hardly any hours on it. The owner (a custom harvester) had been a diehard New Holland guy but that was the last straw.
Congratulations on the Jersey Giant…looks amazing on the road watching the lil cars in the grass as you cruise past lol. I’ve been with you on both channels for years and love the progress y’all have made and how y’all roll with the punches and never get down!! Also enjoy seeing the whole family working together….& William’s commentary is always enjoyed and makes me belly laugh lol. Keep it up y’all!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Always interesting to see what your working on. Definitely can see that William is dying to be able to help. Looking forward to seeing the new layout on the grain dryer in use. That new combine is so big maybe you could do custom picking for other farmers in the area in exchange for their help trucking your corn. Whatever happens I’m confident you have a plan in line that is far better than anything the other viewers and I could think of. Wishing you and your family the best.
We got tired of those chain boxes leaking oil from year to year so we put flowable corn head grease in them and have gotten along very well for years.
that will be the next think that happens.
That's what a mechanic told us one time, if you need to keep filling, just use corn head grease.
now you need to have a big JERSEY GIANT decal made for the sides of the combine it fits that thing perfectly
Did you run your gathering chains staggered, or with the paddles directly across from each other I prefer staggered
Anaerobic works , silacone dont
Wes, what is the part number for that gathering chain tool?! I’ve never seen one before! I’d like to have one.
Just wondering do those chains need timing with each other or each side. IVE worked on equipment that does and its a PITA JOB.

I'd go to the bone yard vs
$ 13,000
Great video and I like that tool for the chains

Great video Wes and the lads helping to get things ready when you start combining.

You and me both!
For that kinda money I hope U wash that sucker down and spray it with more oil than it needs before U put it away this fall! WOW!

You know what they say about men who fixate on having big toys. You compensating for something?
Great video! Looking forward for the harvest videos
Im looking forward to seeing you finish harvest and saying i should have planted more because it went so well.
Great video Wes thanks for sharing have a great day and stay safe out there
Nice video
Didn't think you're putting it on backward but was thinking I wonder how many 'G D it we stuck it on backwards' there would be
Buddy of mine upgraded his corn head with a Calmer conversion kit and he really likes it . Have you seen them ?
Your really gonna like that combine in corn Wes and once you get a grain head you will love it in beans
You need to put a jersey giant chicken on the side of your machine
Use corn head grease.
Good content. 👍
Or put grease in the chain box, that wont leak out so fast.
Nice vid!
👍👍
THE CHAIN IS supposed to run in what is called {[ AN OIL BATH ]} 90 WEIGHT ONLY
Good video.
Wes these are informative and fun videos.
$13,000 seems a little steep when I do the math on what I paid for my new 980 8 row head last year
price increase of 21% on parts over last year. its 9k for a rebuilt row unit.
Good job Wes
Another good video

Wesley have you looked at any of the products that may west has for your new combine? Looking forward to seeing the Jersey Giant in the field.
Hit your row unit oil plugs with a brass punch… they will come loose for you ALOT easier
awesome content Wes...keep it coming love seeing the struggles that I deal with also...
👍🏻🍻
if your running the acres of corn you claim you will change the roll sprokets yearly
👍
Who is your helper ?
You two work well together
Grant
his nephew
That one will be nice. The good thing about your old combine was how cheap it was to run and how much money it made you.
Ok Joe Biden 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh man i laugh my ass off
im just a dumb ass Canadian farmer but if there is no oil in them chain case covers hmmm wonder where it went out someones ass i bet
