- It’s time to harvest oats! The Combine being used is a John Deere 9770 STS, and man does it cover ground fast. It’s amazing to watch it inhale the crop especially with the amount of green vegetation below the oats. We hope you all enjoy the video, thank you for watching!

I sure enjoy your videos. It's soooo different from farming in Oklahoma :) Keep up the good content.
Great Chanel should have way more subscribers
at 3:16............enjoy seeing those cribs of cob corn !
You are very lucky to have that guy doing your combining!!!! Wonderful!!!!
Oats look like they ran pretty good.Oats can really be a bear to harvest straight.The new combines can really chew up the starw.The fun part is be up in a dusty oats bin leveling off the bin.Oats dust can really make you itch. Thanks 😊.
Whatever you paid to have that combined it was well worth it, he did a great job. There is no way I could have cleaned the oats up that good putting all that green in. Hope the oats paid for the combining.
This is so fun to watch! I have always wanted to live in a farm as both my parents grew up in farms but as it is, me and my siblings were born and raised in a city and this concrete jungle is really suffocating...
I would say it is more the head than the combine as far as doing a good job, draper heads feed so much better than auger heads. That is usually the problem with green in grain, it would slug the machine when a wad would go through, draper feeds way more consistantly with a ton less slugging.
Hey ,where is this farm , nice work . Thank you .Hello from France .
That was interesting. Seems like 13 minutes was barely enough, lol.
Great video!!! Would enjoy a baling oat straw video? John T.
I enjoyed watching every bit. Wouldn't mind to see a part 2 of the whole harvest
Nice another good looking video from you guys
Hello! I watching your films from Switzerland. I am impressed from your hard work every day. You indicated that you have a small diary fram with 115 ha. Here in Switzerland an average farm has 20-25 ha. Our framers receive direct payments from the coverments. Without these direct payments the farmers would not survive anymore. Is the "San Bernadiner" from Switzerland?
Stay healthy and best regards
Beautiful farm and country side. I've been watching two months or so and have enjoyed your videos. I have a small farm in southeastern North Carolina 185 cleared 325 acres of timber and cypress swamp. Your land is so different from what we have here. Thank you so much for allowing us to see how you farm and live in such a beautiful place.
I guess I'm old school I have a john deere model 30 pull type combine that I use
It takes some steady nerves for those hill's. It is beautiful. I'm at the Badger Steam and Gas show witching the threshing. Thank you for the great video and the memories. Stay safe and God bless.
Looks like a good stand of alfalfa coming in that field
Love those old elevators! Like you guys, we used it for corn, oats, and both hay and straw. Finally in his last few years of farming, grandpa bought a grain auger.
What do you do with the oats? I'm guessing you mix it in when you grind feed?
I wish we had gravity boxes. We used a 1939 Chevy 2 1/2 ton that had questionable brakes and we had to back up the barn hill to the elevator. The oats bin in the barn was 12x20 and 6ft high, with boards for the doorway (yes, they were numbered also). Of course, leveling it off as it filled was a real chore especially that last foot or so from the top. Dust and oats done the shirt, pants and shoes - great memories. Lol
That is an amazing combine for your sidehills! Do you worry about oats heating up with all that coming through? I still use a swather to cut and let it dry before going in with my JD 4400. Get dry oats and clean straw the old fashioned way. Still, I’m open to new ideas…
Swath oats work especially well but may pose problems for new seeding alfalfa
at 6:58..........I sure couldn't run much "green" thru my pull type IH 76 combine !
Michigan
Hope your baler pick up is wide enough. I have a little trouble baling straw with a 30 foot windrow and the old 336.
That was the 1st hillside combine I saw in action Thank You
I or I should say dad had an elevator like yours. It had machine PTO lift. The hitch was off to the side and you hooked up the PTO then you could raise and lower the elevator as you were backing up or going toward. We had 6 2,000 bu Cribs like yours. Sure made life easier when changing cribs.
When i 12 dad1951 Ford pickup Massy Harris 50 clipper combine hé put slopping floor in the Ford one Hopper at a time 20 acers l had backup To thé elvator To unload dad had To get tranmison repaired no réserve my time driving and wé had saint Bernard dog brought back memorys thank you god bless you
I remember oat harvest on the farm. Putting up oat straw was a welcome break from the much heavier alfalfa and clover hay bales- that's for sure! I remember one year they had hay the next year in the oat field- and the first cutting was FULL of volunteer oats... We ended up using half of those bales as bedding. ( the prior crop had gotten beaten up pretty badly by a very poorly timed thunderstorm.)
The girls always seemed happy to come inside to stalls full of fresh oat straw.
Love the smell of oats! There's a plant off the NYS Thruway that processes oats for shipping, and when the dryers are running, the whole area smells like Cheerios!
that Oliver is a fine-looking machine
Gotta have a Sidehill combine cause your farm is the definition of sidehill!
Dad had IH 205 combine and 1966 Ford f250 with hyd dump box. 2 dumps to a pickup load. Let me drive on my own a couple mile haul from the farm. I was 12 wonderful memories hauling oats.
Thanks for the great content, not many small farms left like yours where I grew up.
What tractor was on the diskbine in the oat field? You can really see the slopes and the hill side combine hard at work.
love watching you all work together to get the job done bless you all
Combining oats has to be one of the worst job on the farm. Crawl into the bin and shovel for all you were worth. Oh the grasshoppers and crickets that got into your cloths. 40 years on and I cannot look at grasshoppers and not think of shoveling oats. Then there was the fun of breathing. Oh lord the dust we took in. Wish I could say that is a job that I miss, nope better thee than me! Love that 1650 let me know if you want to get in touch with a Oliver restorer and collector. There is a nice couple with collections in green county aka the state line area. Come on down for cheese days in Monroe 3 weeks from today.
This makes me homesick for the farm. We always grew oats on our farm because it was an important ingredient in a lot of our livestock feed. Wasn't much of a cash crop for sale. The straw made great animal bedding and it was a great leadin crop for alfalfa or clover hay. I don't see much oats in the field anymore.
Quit growing oats 10 years ago. But relied on custom combine guy also. Kewanee 500 elevator with downspouts feeding wooden grainery also. Rotary combines chewing and reducing straw yield made me quit growing it.
Great video Haven't seen a elevator used for grain in years Oat straw is the best for bedding
Yup, I would rank oat straw #1......barley straw #2......wheat straw #3
Rye straw.........good to stop erosion on road building jobs.
@@douglasmacarthur8775 I would have said the same Sometimes we grew mixed grain oats and barley
EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT FROM 30-40-50 YEAR'S AGO 😮
that field would have been a nightmare with my AC pull type combine to steep and the straw clogs up on the walkers
That is such a cool old granary…always used to love the smell of oats harvest
Never saw a side hill combine in action, pretty cool. You guys have some scary hills to farm.
I just became the new owner of an absolutely beautiful 50' avco new idea elevator a couple weeks ago! Price was free or it was scrap bound! Save what you can 🤙
Where I live you have 3 days to cut oats, the day before there ready, the day there ready, and the day after there ready. 😉
SIDEHILL says it all
Awesome video. Definitely impressed by them young guys. So strong. Them some hosses. Really love the older Oliver. Drove one many times
How many bushels did you get ?
I think what I love about this farm and this family is how the have successfully blended modern farming (when necessary) with that golden era of mid century farming. This makes me nostalgic for an era of farming that was largely over by the time I was born in 1988
Cool hillside combine, still pretty new combine....have 9870 sts, S5, S6, S7 then I think X9 series. Sure makes difference cutting like 30' of oats at a time.
You have a great harvester there!! He is doing a GREAT job, so careful and gentle, you need to hang on to him for sure!! Oats always love to get weedy and go down by harvest time but he managed to get them all it looks like. You had a great crop this year. The cows will love them!! Are you going to bale the straw?
I've never seen oats being harvested before. thanks for sharing
Definitely have to have patients when combing that stuff!!
Great video with some imaginative camera angles.Would you normally have as much corn left over at this time of year ?
i heard that growin oats is rare these days ? brings me back !
Guys nice job on harvesting, hope you had great yields. have a great weekend. I still love the hay making videos 😁 😁.
Side hill model, fairly common around the driftless area of Wisconsin, can't quote the first model to feature it but the 6200 deere comes to mind as the first I saw as a kid
That combine operator did a hell of a job!!! Nice vidja
That John Deere combine combines a hundred times faster than my Dad’s old Allis Chalmers 60 with a bagger. But we only planted 3 to 5 acres a year and combined that amount for a couple of neighbors. I always bagged while Dad ran the tractor. If Dad was busy, I ran the tractor and bagger my self! Off and on the tractor and combine a million times! Never had to go to a gym! Great video! Thanks!
Fun watching the sidehill option in use on the combine.
Looked like the oats did pretty good. Like how you guys dont waste any.
Just a great inspiring family farm
Is that harvester self-levelling? I’ve never seen that before 🤔 cool video 👍🇦🇺
That combine has contour master on it. It allows the head to float with the ground real good. Also it is a rotor combine so it doesn’t really matter as much for it to lean over. Deere makes some baffles that go in the threshing area to keep the crop even. You have to look inside to see if it has them in it.
The older walker models like a 9510SH have a side hill option that would allow the entire front axle to level the machine hydrolicly. They were real sensitive to leaning causing it to not threads well.
Hello nice work. How do you keep them from heating up? Have a great day.
Oh, that Oliver. Thanks for taking me home again.
Nice job thanks for sharing
Always a treat to watch a sidehill combine in action.
That's a nice drag. Our New Holland was shorter and steeper. We got a lot of rollback and I think, less capacity.
I did not realize they still made side hill combines in the newer series.
Love your your videos
Loved the scenery
Serious combine skills, would love to see the grain store full. What's next for the oat field? Green manure or cover crop ?
That combine holds as much as 1 of those wagons!! Close!! I have a S760 and a head exactly the same!! Side hill machine is rare to see here in Kansas!!! Looks like terrific oats!! We get too much heat here to raise good heavy oats!! That elevator is in great shape. My grandad had a JD elevator for ear corn long ago!!! Good memories.....
I had JD elevators.
Disadvantage was they were so darn heavy .
That hillside combine is really cool to see!
Nice job , 👍🇬🇧
Did Deere make factory hillside combines in that model or was that a after market kit. Really worked well for you. Nice straw to bale for your stock. Thanks.
Deere did not offer factory hillside combines of that model. Would be an aftermarket company like hillco or similar.
Awesome video, you really got some great shots in this one!
Oats are not grown as much as they once were. Still good for feeding cattle. Just don't the farmer much cash.
I finally had time to catch up to you. I got to wondering if there any hillside combines in your area or anywhere in the coulee region. A big class 8/9 combine like that would be bad if it were to roll over.
Looks like y'all will have a good crop of oats.
By the looks of the field I assume it didn't get sprayed for weeds?
Oliver 1650 built in 1964, incredible!
$5-7 dol. a bail for the straw is worth cutting it tight to the ground.
what does custom combining cost these days./

Nice to see haven’t harvested oats in years nice elevator
cool to see a sidehill with that big of a table
Nice set up, the way you do it. I try just to take the heads off my oats also. I run a JD 4400 combine and don't want to run everything through the machine.
👍
My Dad had a Kewanee elevator on his farm. Used it for corn cribs and the hay mow. Bought it in the 1950s. It was powered by an electric motor
I had a similar elevator, but, mine was a New Idea. I used a hydraulic motor on that, to save having an elevator tractor. It would handle a full load of ear corn as well as any small grain. We swathed our small grain up here in Minnesota, then, we had heads with pickups. I love to watch your videos, because they remind me of the simpler ways we used to do things. Later I also added an auger for shelled corn, beans, and, small grain, but, still used the elevator for my corn, which I picked, and, then shelled out with my Moline sheller. It was labor intensive, but, I was younger and stronger then. We could never had run that much green stuff though the combine. Swathing lets all of that dry out, and, then you can bale the straw right behind the combine. They still swath grain up in Canada, where harvest is much later in the year.
We used a Little giant 48' trough elevator for years for hay, straw oats and ear corn. had to put in additional paddles for oats and corn ( was set up for hay primarily).
Lost it in 98 when a quick storm blew in and elevator was not lowered and it toppled over impaling on fence posts.
where is this ? great vid
pretty darn cool.
Itchy oat dust
I have a small organic dairy farm in Maine. Just built a new barn similar to your new barn. You have a beautiful farm to be proud of. Thanks for showing it off.
Great elevator, never seen this done before 👍 Regards from Down Under.
Awesome video! Brings back a ton of great memories!
Love a tour of the oats bin! Probably too late now that it's full🤔
Love that Oliver 1650! Lets see more of that one
In Pa Zimmerman makes a similar elevator. Looks like the old New Holland style l have a little giant l use for ear corn. Like your videos
You can definitely get a feel for the terrain.
Enjoyed every bit of your video, nice farm! And I like the fact that you use the old equipment and are not part of the agriculture industry using those monstrous machines destroying the land.
