Ryan, read Drew's comment below, that's what it's all about, inspiring the next generation, feeling the land beneath you and the sky above. Thanks for what you do. Signed-an old farmer that misses it
Hi Ryan, I've been watching your videos for the last couple of years and never commented before. Well, today is the day. I think you do an excellent job. You've got it down pat. Keep them coming. I was about your age in 1980. We farmed over 2500 acres. We had bought a new JD 4440, 4840 and 7720 combine that year (It was a good year. One of the last for the next decade). I think back how I loved farming and the farm life. We never even dreamed of stuff your doing now (videos, youtube, JD 8235R tractors, etc...). The 4440 was a quad range and the 4840 was a powershift. Both were excellent tractors. You couldn't stop the 4840 on any tillage tool we had. JD 2800 8x18's, JD 1610 or 1710 11 shank disk/chisel plow, JD 25 foot disk (don't remember the model number). Just wish it had more speeds in its transmission. I miss farming. It was the best time in my life. Enjoy this time in your life. You will look back with fondness. Thank you for the excellent videos. Take care......
Ryan, You have always had interesting videos in my opinion. I'm impressed with how far you have come with the quality and I am not referring to cameras or drones,,, just the overall presentation and sound bites. Well done sir.
I have a friend in Repentigny,QC who has bought new machines for harvest in 2016;the combine is a Case 8530 with 12 rows and the grain cart is a Brent 1147 bushels(about 30 tons)!Massive equipments!
I want to thank you for doing these videos I've watched every single one I'm 13 years old and I'm looking forwould to being like you I like how you do the harvesting , fencing everything you do thank you. You have inspired me!!!!😊😊
Great video, one of the best. Just love the 4640 ! Spent weeks here in the UK on a 4440 with front wheel assist ! Just loved it even though front wheel assist didn't really help !
it seems odd here in the uk we just finished drilling all of our crops yesterday and seeing you a combine just doesn't look right lol at least you get the time to film I wish I could since we bought are own combine now I've been carting grain and managing are grain store system hope your having fun nothing like the smell of harvest !
Ryan, another great video! Good job, the overhead shot added a lot to it so viewers could see the grain leaving the grain tank on the combine and going into the grain cart.
Its very interesting to see how farming in America works. I'm from Germany and my dad came from a farm, so I know how it works in Germany. I really want to work on a farm in America or Australia to drive the very big machines.
Most people in US do not want a farm job because they want easier work with less mental alertness. One of my neighbors brings in 10 or so from South Africa to drive combines and carts. The Mexicans used to be skilled farm workers but now they just want to be in cities and want free education and other benefits for their families.
Since i dont have a CDL, we do it differently. Dad hauls grain and i keep the combine moving. First time I unloaded n the go, i was going fast as i could and dad was going to fast. Spilled all over the ground. Still working on my unloading on the go skills. Stationary truck or wagon is easier.
A good day but a long one, but that's what harvest's about, isn't it? Fascinating to see how you operate in the US, very different from here in the UK. Here you see high capacity tipping trailers shuttling back to the grain store, have you ever considered doing that?
GREAT video Ryan! Always watch your vids! GOOD WORK! Really like your drone parts!!! You guys ROCK! Y'all seem to get along pretty well together as a family! Farming can be stressful...farmed with my Daddy till 1992...43 years! He was a pretty severe alcoholic but was a REAL smart farmer and peanut champion for several years! Some good memories and some NOT so good...almost got killed several times from his problem...guess it built some character...Keep up the good work!
How does ya'lls 9500 work for ya'll, considering that it runs through the crops slower, is it perfect for the land ya'll rent or do you guys feel like upgrading soon.
When you dry corn in the states What moisture value do you dry it down to because British farms need to dry it down to at least 16% to store is in silos.
Do you think you can explain in one of the vida how the cornheader works? Tought the while thung went trough the machine, like with wheat or barley, but from what i observed i think i might be wrong..?
Good work! Love the videos and the music is perfect... Thank goodness it's not blaring acid rock or sh!t-kicker country music... HATE when guys put that stuff over their videos and turn it up all the way!!! Good work unloading on the go, though it looks like you COULD be a little closer to the combine-- maybe one row over. I do the same thing in corn-- find the right row over and run the front tire down the middle. It gets harder as the header gets wider, because the tractor is closer to the combine. BIL put the big 4WD 4890 Case on the cart, and so you've got a huge pair of front duals out there and the tractor is wider than the cart! Makes it challenging, especially with the new(er) 35 foot bean platform-- have to keep the outside front dual of the tractor within about 2-3 feet of the outside snout of the header for the auger to reach the center of the cart! It's a lot different from how we did it when I was growing up. We had a Ford 640 (Claas "Senator") combine and a 150-ish bushel auger cart pulled by the Ford 5200 row crop tractor... all open station (well, the combine had a cab, but no A/C, so in Texas summer heat you did everything with the doors and windows open anyway!) The Ford only has an 8 speed manual transmission, so you run full throttle to catch up with the combine, throttle down to match the combine speed, and then had to throttle up or down to keep pace with the combine, in addition to keeping the cart centered under the unload auger of the combine... The combine had a variable speed belt drive, but nothing as good as the modern hydrostatic drives in combines built since then... Took me awhile to get used to running up beside the combine, pacing it to set my speed, and then just going "hands off" the throttle and let the combine operator auger the corn where they wanted it in the cart, while only keeping the cart centered under the auger... When you're used to doing it the other way, there's DEFINITELY a learning curve! Shame yall don't have a corner-auger cart... I've run both-- ours was an old center-auger like yalls, and I've run a newer center-auger one for the BIL's nephew, but the BIL's is a Killbros 500 bushel cart with the auger in the front corner-- SO much easier to see when you're unloading, because the auger is nearly just outside your cab window! Course they're STILL not as nice as the newest auger carts with the remote moveable spouts that let you shoot the corn wherever you want it in the truck or gravity box, but then you can't have everything I guess... LOL:) Later! OL J R :)
real nice video bro. im sitting here dreaming of US farmland now. but is that running trailer really big enough or do you run to the farm too? (i dont know jack s$it about corn)
Great Videos!!! I have been watching your videos for some time and figured I ask you a question about corn seeds. Here is what I posted on forums before and got no answers. Basically, I'm after a particular type of corn (non sweet) that is popular in South Asia. Usually (the street vendors) heat the corn on a charcoal fire bed and coat it with sauce( a mixture of lime, chilly powder and salt). It taste absolutely amazing. I have a small piece of land on our family property that I want to make use of and grow this corn. The nearest I can figure out (lack of knowledge rather), it is what they call "popcorn" corn. I'm I correct? If not what is it and where can I find the seeds to grow?
Nice video. I helped a friend cut beans about 20 years ago. He wanted to dump on the go. it was the first time either one of us done this it got a little commical tosay the least
Hi Ryan, first of all I'm not a farmer, but I think I should have been one because I enjoy watching farming videos hours on end, I have just recently discovered your videos in TH-cam and quite frankly I like them a lot, so gradually I'll be going through all of them. Up to now I've been watching onelonelyfarmer(OLF)'s videos in TH-cam, he's alright too, although he has gone totally for growing just hay for the mushroom producers also animal feed just because he has a lot of problems with the deer destroying the crop when he grows corn since the deer eats quite a lot of the corn. This made me wonder if you do have the same or similar problem OLF has.
Great Video Ryan; production quality getting better and better every day. Some of your best aerial work. Though if you were driving the 4640 with the grain cart, who was flying the Phantom when you got the aerial shots of the 4640 offloading the combine?
Thanks! The drone has a follow feature that allows flight without hands on the controller. It's really nice because I can just watch the screen and use it as a third person camera to make unloading easier.
Great video, you guys are really using the drone to great effect and getting some fabulous shots. As a video guy does someone there have production experience? "Cause it looks like it!
Did you see the segment today on R.F.D. T.V. where The Hefty Bros. were comparing and doing the math on how many ears of corn a man can pick in an hour compared to what a combine harvests in an hour? It was fascinating.
Like Grandpa used to say, "All you need is a pocket full of money!" "Nice to have" and "Must have" is quite often two very different things. I know a lot of farmers who went broke thinking they HAD to have the biggest and best of EVERYTHING... most of the time, the one you've got that you can afford or that's paid for is the RIGHT one to have, even if it's not the fastest or biggest or best... Later! OL J R :)
You don't necessarily need a bigger combine, u can just get a bigger grain header or grain platform. Now a newer combine would be the absolute best thing u could do, u don't have the money for a big fancy new combine. So then u just upgrade ur header
+Garrett Edwards yes. But yet they just recently bought the 8293R I think, so why not invest some of that money into a new combine instead of the tractor.
So it loads evenly... if the auger simply dumped in the top, you'd end up with an enormous cone-shaped pile in the center and lower out by the walls... When the bin is full, you have to crawl in there with a shovel and level it out anyway, so the smaller the pile you have the less shoveling you have to do when the bin is full. The spreader slings the grain around so the bin loads more evenly. Looking at how much corn is piled up against the walls, they might need to slow the slinger down some. No matter what you do, you never end up with the bin being loaded flat and level across the top of the grain (the ideal situation) but the closer it is the better and the less shoveling you have to do. The grain needs to be as level as possible so that there's a uniform depth down to the perforated floor of the bin that the corn is resting on. That way the airflow up through the grain is consistent throughout the bin (as much as possible) and the grain dries the most consistently. If there's a huge pile in the center, the corn will be much deeper from the floor to the top of the pile, and there will be less airflow up through the deeper corn and the corn in the pile will be wetter and can spoil. The corn near the walls will be much closer to the floor since it's not piled up as high and will be drier because more of the air will flow through it since it's closer to the floor and not as deep, and can get too dry. So that's why you want the corn level. Having the spreader throwing too much corn to the walls so it piles up against the walls is just as bad, for the same reasons... the deeper the pile, the less air flows through it-- it's easier for the air to flow out where the grain is closest to the floor, so that's where it goes-- and where the air goes, the corn gets dryer... and the corn in the piled up area stays wetter and can spoil if the moisture is too high. The stirators are augers that move back and forth on the suspended track and are motorized so they reach down to just above the floor and auger up grain from the bottom of the bin and throw it out on top... they slowly move back and forth from the center of the bin to the walls as the beam they're on slowly revolves around the bin like the hands on a clock face... that way all the corn in the bin is stirred up and mixed up; otherwise the corn gets way too dry on bottom and stays too wet on top, leading to spoilage, molding, and heating up. Later! OL J R :)

Very informative on grain drying. Always enjoy seeing an Iron Horse like your 4640 in action.

I can't help but thinking of what a legacy these videos will be for future generations of the family.
Wow. Just WOW!!!! Such a great Video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I live in Gernany since ´87 and still miss the farm. Thanks sooooo much Ryan.
That new bin looks great!! Got to love fall harvest time!!
Just want to say that i love folowing the progress on your farm! So ceep em coming!
Ryan, I think this is your best video footage yet. Excellent work. Interesting and entertaining . Thanks!
Great video, one of the best.
Just love the 4640 ! Spent weeks here in the UK on a 4440 with front wheel assist ! Just loved it even though front wheel assist didn't really help !

Awesome video. You guys are awrsome. Thank you for everything you do.
Your videos are so great. It makes me miss home in Upstate NY so much. I watch them nightly. Thank you and God bless. #YankInNewZealand
I really liked this video Ryan...Made my day by a long shot! Thank you so much!

Sweet video Ryan. That Sioux bin y'all just put up is nice. Bet that sure helps to have on the farm

Just found out about your videos love them man. Thanks for posting.
I made a Harvest video very similar to this one. But, filmed in Nebraska. You should check it out. :)
You probably have mentioned it before but I haven't caught it... Was just curious what drone are you using for your footage? Thanks!
Great vid Ryan Smile More God Bless stay safe guys 👍
Just a question,why don't you use the 8235R on the grain cart? Good Video!

When you dry corn in the states What moisture value do you dry it down to because British farms need to dry it down to at least 16% to store is in silos.
We have been done with corn for almost 4 weeks!
Do you plant any DeKalb seed? As a kid growing up in DeKalb IL a lot of us worked for DeKalb Ag in the summers in the test fields.
Looks like a very good corn crop. What brands of corn and varieties do you like in your area that do the best for yield?
+Gerard Heck we personally like DeKalb.
Do you think you can explain in one of the vida how the cornheader works? Tought the while thung went trough the machine, like with wheat or barley, but from what i observed i think i might be wrong..?
Corn looks like gold!
Too bad it's not worth as much! OL J R :)
Good work! Love the videos and the music is perfect... Thank goodness it's not blaring acid rock or sh!t-kicker country music... HATE when guys put that stuff over their videos and turn it up all the way!!!

Remember when you drove this 4640 up the hill the speed doesn't change the RPMs do.
What a great day and video Ryan. How many bushels and acres did you do this day?
+Ticky66MN We did 20 loads at about 300 per load.
Nice video. I helped a friend cut beans about 20 years ago. He wanted to dump on the go. it was the first time either one of us done this it got a little commical tosay the

What a great video... Thanks

how many wagon loads does it tale too empty that grain cart?
Do you still use the silos by the overload spot?

nice video Ryan I am surprised you don't have a grain truck along with wagon
Hey is there a semi in the near future for you guys for is it so small there is no need
Have you guys considered a Drago head? I can see how it would benefit your type of fields.
nice vid
Great video, you guys are really using the drone to great effect and getting some fabulous shots. As a video guy does someone there have production experience? "Cause it looks like it!
Did anyone hear that fart at 9:05? lol Great video btw!
John M lol
Probably tractor horn

I like the harvester
Great video
We just finished combineing corn, averaged 190 bushels per acre and 16% moisture
Not possible, 190 bushels? No way
Not possible, 190 bushels? No way
+Finnegan West why is that not possible?
Finnegan West Illinois Corn seems to do well. Some of our farms were hitting 215 bushels an acre. Depends on the soil
+Andy Rousonelos that's where we farm
8:50 here comes the dirt run!
Dang Ryan your clearly a better grain cart operator than me I need a camera to unload on the go lol
30 in or 36 in row spacing?
You guys need at least a 12 row header. Cut your time in half so your not working in the dark. Bigger tractors and gain carts as well.
Like Grandpa used to say, "All you need is a pocket full of money!"
"Nice to have" and "Must have" is quite often two very different things.
I know a lot of farmers who went broke thinking they HAD to have the biggest and best of EVERYTHING... most of the time, the one you've got that you can afford or that's paid for is the RIGHT one to have, even if it's not the fastest or biggest or best...
Later! OL J R :)
why don't u put the 8235r on the grain cart?
lol, been there. Good speil
will these videos be cornier than ethanol
just like our 4640 everytime you throttle it up, noyhing but black :)
Thats cool but a grain dryer is still has a better view at night with the steam rolling off an that big flame inside
Good video! I'm more into hearing the machinery than music, but awesome anyway.
hey ryan amazing video what were the songs you used?
I like the thumbnail. You gotta get onelonleyfarmer to do that.
How many acres total do you, your brother and dad Farm?
5:24 i miss the old t handle levers..the new s series we have dont have em :(
+Christian Atkins 11:44 too
Nice Video Ryan! Why don't you drive the harvester?
Well done Ryan and family you guys kicked some a$$ on that corn why is your stubble so high?
As you can tell by my profile picture I love tractors but only a handful of 12-14 year olds in my class even like them
Does your Dad smile? He camera shy or just set in his ways like me.
what was the yield on the corn
gees i thought you would put the bigger tractor on the grain cart
where do u farm at? great vid
Wisconsin
no good farming video is completed without a night shift
What tractor is that?
What kind of combine is that
13:05 what song is playing?!
nice video!
nice music
are you guys going to ever get a bigger combine? because those fields are huge
I'm thinking since he runs a 6 row planter he can't get any bigger.
he has big tractors cant he get a bigger planter
+mathew davis Their is this thing called money, and a bigger planter and combine would cost alot of it
You don't necessarily need a bigger combine, u can just get a bigger grain header or grain platform. Now a newer combine would be the absolute best thing u could do, u don't have the money for a big fancy new combine. So then u just upgrade ur header
+Garrett Edwards yes. But yet they just recently bought the 8293R I think, so why not invest some of that money into a new combine instead of the tractor.
What does your dad think about the filming.
What tipe of header is that ??? 🤔🤔
are you a get a grain trucks this years or not???
I failed miserably trying to unload on the go this year
do you have a 7810
nice
Why does the grain need to be spun into the silo?
So it loads evenly... if the auger simply dumped in the top, you'd end up with an enormous cone-shaped pile in the center and lower out by the walls...
When the bin is full, you have to crawl in there with a shovel and level it out anyway, so the smaller the pile you have the less shoveling you have to do when the bin is full. The spreader slings the grain around so the bin loads more evenly.
Looking at how much corn is piled up against the walls, they might need to slow the slinger down some. No matter what you do, you never end up with the bin being loaded flat and level across the top of the grain (the ideal situation) but the closer it is the better and the less shoveling you have to do.
The grain needs to be as level as possible so that there's a uniform depth down to the perforated floor of the bin that the corn is resting on. That way the airflow up through the grain is consistent throughout the bin (as much as possible) and the grain dries the most consistently. If there's a huge pile in the center, the corn will be much deeper from the floor to the top of the pile, and there will be less airflow up through the deeper corn and the corn in the pile will be wetter and can spoil. The corn near the walls will be much closer to the floor since it's not piled up as high and will be drier because more of the air will flow through it since it's closer to the floor and not as deep, and can get too dry. So that's why you want the corn level.

The stirators are augers that move back and forth on the suspended track and are motorized so they reach down to just above the floor and auger up grain from the bottom of the bin and throw it out on top... they slowly move back and forth from the center of the bin to the walls as the beam they're on slowly revolves around the bin like the hands on a clock face... that way all the corn in the bin is stirred up and mixed up; otherwise the corn gets way too dry on bottom and stays too wet on top, leading to spoilage, molding, and heating up.
Later! OL J R :)
Nice dryer setup, but why do you carry corn on the roof of the cab of the combine. Is that just extra storage? JK
