1st tractor I ever inverted with was a Massy Ferguson 175 with a Long 2 row inverter. Picked with the same tractor and a Long model 227 or 225 (can't remember which) 2 row picker. It was so old it even had a bagger on the side for bagging peanuts out of the basket. You will have to ask your dad about that option. Thought I was in heaven when I got to use a JD 4040 four post with a KMC 2 row and picked with a Lilliston 6000 Hi-Cap. This was back in the early 1980's and yes we ran OLD equipment.
South Georgia Farming Hello there Terry Presnal. I have run a many an acre through a Lilliston Hi-cap behind a 4 post, open cab 4440. When you climb off of it that afternoon, you're so dusty, you'll almost glow in the dark.
Neighbor has a 4230 that the hydraulic cylinders on the loader leak up same as yours. His is connected to a joystick. The job I hate most without gas is spraying.
My husband has been watching your channel a couple weeks. He says you do a great job on agronomy topics. He likes your Dad's involvement and history. (The old iron row) We live in NC Oh so don't have cotton & peanuts. Your 12" rain would have hurt us bad early season. Looks like you'll save fair share of those drug last week. Nice aerials and letting others film..
We live in eastern N. C. Wilson. All of our local farmers grow Peanuts, cotton, tobacco, corn, soy beans. I'm not sure where you live in North Carolina, but we raise it all here
You left out one thing Jim, the smell!! Nothing like the smell of fresh dug peanuts!! One of the best smells in the world, a lot better smell than cotton defoliant.
I remember my first diamond back. Somethings stay with you. Jim if you will have Jeff bump up the pto speed up to 900 it will clean those peanuts. Pick a round or two you will see. 👍. Keep the header hunting the other end
We got one, luckily they were not stuck to the ground. Amadas is what you want for wet conditions for sure, we had KMC but amadas would do better in wet conditions
This would have to have been in the middle to late 80's my legs were just long enough to reach the peddles of a 4020 open cab Deere. We were picking and. I was backing the tractor up to hook up to the wagons. Ole hustler picker pulled up to dump and a farm hand was in the trailer to take down the corners. He had a big seed shovel and the basket started dumping he pulled back a scoop and I saw the scoop fly out and he jumped out of the wagon landed on his feet and ran like he was wanted by the law. At that point I had the tounge of the trailer in my hand and it was all I could do at that age to lift it up to drop the pin in the hitch I heard him scream snake over the two tractors running and the sound of peanuts dumping. A few minutes later they threw out a diamond back and to this day I have those Rattlers 12 and button one of the biggest snakes ive ever seen!
Now this auger is actually in pretty good shape. It's just overgrown with the morning glory and the...SNAKE, SNAKE....!!! IF I had a dollar for every time I've had that happen to me.....I could pay my loans off tomorrow and farm debt free the rest of the year.
If the 4230 loader is connected to the scv’s I would say you could have that one rebuilt and solve the problem. My 4430 does that with the one I haven’t rebuilt
I have a couple questions. I hope that it doesn't bother you. Are peanut seeds bought through a processor or dealer. Are there different varieties like corn and different maturity dates. Glad to hear that the hurricane didn't destroy the crops
Usually peanut seed is bought from the buying point that the farmer is going to sell to. There is a bunch of different variety’s, most of them are mature at 140 days old.
Here in oaxaca on the coast line we harvest peanuts two times a year... In the first time we plant peanuts in early july ans we harvest it in november... The second time we plant peanuts is in late november and aerly dicember, and we harvest it in april, but some people even harvest until late may. So , the only month that we don't have peanuts in the ground is june.
One of my favorite snacks is peanuts, peanut butter, boiled peanuts... peanut scampi, fried peanuts, grilled peanuts.... peanut jambalaya, peanut gumbo, blackened peanuts.... organic peanuts, GMO Free peanuts and Free Range peanuts and Oh yeah grass fed peanuts. Have I missed something?
Bud i don't live far from where y'all are at lol I've been behind yalls trucks hauling before i just noticed i aint far from yall at all i enjoy your videos keep up the good work
Always wondered how you picked peanuts. For a minute i thought you were gonna pick by hand but thankfully you have machines! Also, i love how casually you say there's a snake lmao
The funniest thing about GPS is you don't actually need it for straight lines. A LOT of corn harvesters use a pair of dowsing rods on a microswitch rig to simply follow corn-rows and you can plant with a digital camera/screen with a piece of scotch tape holding a string on the screen (its how I actually literally do it in Farming Simulator immediately after each new release before someone has a gps/courseplay working). There used to be systems that used a pair of light and sensor rigs like the railroad uses for keeping track straight when working on the ballast and ties that were also used on farms. You can even use a stolen stop-sign, some cardboard tubes and your tractor's high-beams. GPS is nice, sure. We're just shy of having optical all-weather night/day self driving units for tractors.
I wanna do something cool for 10K, coming to the farm sounds like too much a legal risk though. I’m on the process of getting some shirts and hats made.
@@FieldRows And THAT is why I HATE liars, er lawyers. Can't have no fun without them buttlickers screwing everything up. Honest people doing an honest job, getting hosed by lying sacks of goat dip. But I ain't mad or anything... hehehe! And I do want to say "thank you", both for the very entertaining videos (another side of farming I'd never seen before) and for busting your hump everyday so that I can enjoy a peanut butter & jelly sandwich! Ain't nothing better after a hot day's work than ice-cold Pepsi and PBJ. That's livin!
The reason you're not getting a signal is that the satellite is been made redundant an you'll need to update to a newer updated gps unit so see your John Deere dealer.
Well, I follow corn, soybean, hay, dairy and now peanuts it would seem. lol Yours seems to be a good channel to follow, well done videos and content, surprised you only have 10k subs. Sure that will take off soon.
To me the easiest digger to run without GPS is a 2 row digger I have ran a 6 row digger with and without gps for another farmer but running a 2 row without gps I find easier.
It relieves the hydraulic steering pressure in the pump making it easier for the engine to turn over. Just a quirk the old Deere tractors had. The new ones don't do it. Mainly on the 50 series down.
Thanks! Yeah I need to get a good external mic, nothing worse than watching a video and you can’t hear anything. I’m filming now with a GoPro 8 with a media mod.
I like your channel. It popped up on my feed the other day (recommended). I mentioned the cotton and peanuts here in OK, in a comment to someone on TH-cam in NC, lol! I used to farm a lot of peanuts. My county had the largest buying point in the U.S. at one time. We lost our "Golden" shelling plant and over time, contracts became less available. We still have some peanuts, but, COTTON is KING now. It's too competitive on price and a lot easier😁. Most of the farmers here are running AMADAS, self-propelled combines.
Curious as to why The TH-cam nazis won’t allow me to click the bell for alerts to your latest video upload ? Just can’t see you not being a child friendly content contributor ....
FANTASTIC video! Thanks for sharing
Love hearing about the old days.
Dang I didn’t realize you was that close to me . Me and my family has used that peanut mill my whole life we are right across the river in Georgia
Watching this video brought back lots of memories.
Yes keefe is right. The ranch flavored peanuts are top notch!
Gotta love the drone footage! Glad your back to harvest!
Yeah drones are a blast to fly!

A lot has changed, thanks for sharing. We still have a Massey 135 which was my dads first tractor.

When you climb off of it that afternoon, you're so dusty, you'll almost glow in the dark.
Glad to see you can get back at it. Great video!
Thanks, back at it and then rained today so we are off again
Glad y’all got back in the field. Hopefully it will stay dry!
Another great song!
Found your channel last week awesome content keep up the good work one my favorite channel now
Awesome thanks for watching!
Came home after a long day of digging up peanuts in south ga found you on TikTok saw you had TH-cam and been watching video after video
Very educational I learned a lot.
Neighbor has a 4230 that the hydraulic cylinders on the loader leak up same as yours. His is connected to a joystick.
The job I hate most without gas is spraying.
Thank u 👍❤️🇺🇸
Glad to see y'all being able to get back in the field
Yeah glad to be back!

We live in NC Oh so don't have cotton & peanuts. Your 12" rain would have hurt us bad early season. Looks like you'll save fair share of those drug last week.
Nice aerials and letting others film..
Thanks for watching, luckily are soil is like beach sand so it dries up quickly
We live in eastern N. C. Wilson. All of our local farmers grow Peanuts, cotton, tobacco, corn, soy beans. I'm not sure where you live in North Carolina, but we raise it all here
I live in Crestview, Florida, and would love to visit your farm.
You left out one thing Jim, the smell!! Nothing like the smell of fresh dug peanuts!! One of the best smells in the world, a lot better smell than cotton defoliant.
True, that is a nice smell!
Luv that 3020!
The loader valve on the 4230 need to be replaced or rebuilt u can get one off of surplus’s senter cheap
Thanks I’ll have to check that out
Love your videos. We just got done picking down around Gainesville.
Thanks Zane, hope you guys have a good harvest. We got more rain yesterday so we are out a of couple days.
I remember my first diamond back. Somethings stay with you. Jim if you will have Jeff bump up the pto speed up to 900 it will clean those peanuts. Pick a round or two you will see. 👍. Keep the header hunting the other end
You need a conditioner to get them off the ground and dried. The only combine i know can pick them wet was a LONG
We got one, luckily they were not stuck to the ground. Amadas is what you want for wet conditions for sure, we had KMC but amadas would do better in wet conditions
Great vid keep it up!
Thanks!
I lost a drone like that before, I started it upwards and it took off. Never saw it again
I thought mine was a goner, again.
Gotta keep an eye out for snakes!
Great video thank you. How is your cotton opening up?
It’s getting there about 2 weeks out
I live in Southwest Oklahoma and little to none has as even been killed yet

Wow I bet he did take off running! It’s amazing how snakes can survive being picked.

@@FieldRows thank you for responding. I like to learn how things are done in different places in this great country. So different from our dairy farm
Here in oaxaca on the coast line we harvest peanuts two times a year...

The second time we plant peanuts is in late november and aerly dicember, and we harvest it in april, but some people even harvest until late may.

That’s neat never heard of double croping peanuts
Kmc makes a folding 8 row shaker its HEAVY hahaha but looks super cool. The Colombo shaker is very similar to a kmc flex shaker.
Nice ill check it out
What area of the US is your farm? What type of peanuts are you harvesting? I love a Spanish redskins but hard to find.
Jackson County , we plant Florida Tuff Runners and Georgia O6G
3/10ths of a mile away? This whole time I was thinking it was a quarter mile away. Sheesh....
Love the wig buddy
It grows very fast!!!
Field Rows I bet buddy like my rats tail
One of my favorite snacks is peanuts, peanut butter, boiled peanuts... peanut scampi, fried peanuts, grilled peanuts.... peanut jambalaya, peanut gumbo, blackened peanuts.... organic peanuts, GMO Free peanuts and Free Range peanuts and Oh yeah grass fed peanuts. Have I missed something?

Thanks!!
@@FieldRows you are very welcome sir
In the 90's at the peak how many acres did your Dad farm? Sounds like it was a lot. Great video btw
I wanna say around 1,500 of peanuts. Which was a lot back then. Especially in Florida, the farmers in Georgia are way bigger.
Gotta fluff!!
We run Trimble on our deers to
Yeah I have no complaints other than the tower is out now, we running on network 27 now
Awesome channel! I really enjoy watching how you guys farm in that area
Thanks for watching Doug
And I’m back to check for John Deere being a sponsor of this video 😉
Maybe next year! I need a much bigger audience to catch their attention.
Have y'all tried cover crop in your rotations??
With cotton we do, peanuts we deep tillage so no cover crop
Did you ever get that remote fixed ?
Sounds like internally pressure leakage in the SCV
Yes. Orin I believe
*too ☺
Always wondered how you picked peanuts. For a minute i thought you were gonna pick by hand but thankfully you have machines!
Also, i love how casually you say there's a snake lmao
If we had to pick by hand we would need a lot of help!
They didn't have GPSs on the Horses, did they dad..?

That’s awesome! Never heard that before. I just downloaded farm sim I need to figure out how to play it
Hey Jim, if you get to a certain number of subscribers, any chance of a drawing to come to the farm during harvest?
I wanna do something cool for 10K, coming to the farm sounds like too much a legal risk though. I’m on the process of getting some shirts and hats made.
@@FieldRows I understand completely.

Thanks foe the info
Good videos I hope the harvest goes well . I do like when though some comedy in there...
Thanks for watching!
So what do the low quality peanuts get used for ? peanut butter maybe.
I believe oil stock, maybe cheap peanut butter
@@FieldRows Ok cool. Never thought of oil, but yes, just like the poorest apples go for juice.
Do peanuts volunteer?
Oh yeah, they will come back
I was here.
Do y’all have any problems with wild pigs?
No Keefe,Kyle and Jeff kill them all
Everything was fine, great video and job, until that damn snake showed up, I’m gone !
Yeah that always makes the heart skip a beat.
Jim you need to go and check out the KMC website the have a folding digger now
Oh snap, I’ll check it out.
Great vid man like usual never disappoint me
Thanks John!
Field Rows ya man
When in doubt, fall back on the person with the most experience.
Well, I follow corn, soybean, hay, dairy and now peanuts it would seem. lol Yours seems to be a good channel to follow, well done videos and content, surprised you only have 10k subs. Sure that will take off soon.

DUG not drug.
The mosquitos were horrible when we were digging peanuts after Hurricane Sally.
Hello! Keep on working hard when the weather allows.
That’s right!
I wish they had peanuts in farming simulator
I just download farm sim this week for ps4 I need to sit down and figure out how to play it
Field Rows yea it’s confusing at first I’m still pretty new
I love your vids
Thanks!
How is it going I do farming videos also in Wisconsin Dells I’m 14 years old good videos thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching buddy
why do you turn the wheel like that when you are starting your machines?
It relieves the hydraulic steering pressure in the pump making it easier for the engine to turn over. Just a quirk the old Deere tractors had. The new ones don't do it. Mainly on the 50 series down.
Beautiful country and video! We could hear you fine outside but inside the tractor cab, not so good.
We subscribed. Never watched peanut farming.
Thanks! Yeah I need to get a good external mic, nothing worse than watching a video and you can’t hear anything. I’m filming now with a GoPro 8 with a media mod.

Nice video man on the picker right now Gps is nice
Thanks grant hope all is well
You still got chlorothalonil? They pulled it off us in europe last year.
Yeah, thankfully we still have it. Great for leaf spot
