Thank you, Zeth with a Z,😉 for an awesome tutorial on how the corn flows! I never could figure out how combines work so fast and efficiently until now.
Very interesting tutorial, of the journey of the kernal! I'm from way back before reversers on the corn head. But I remember a warning label on a JD corn head that read, "Before you can relax your grip on a corn stalk, the Snapping rolls will have pulled Your Arm THROUGH"!
Hi Z The rotor loss sensor doesn't measure grain loss out of the machine. It's there to tell the operator to either open or close the concaves so to get more of the grain to separate at the front of the rotor. If you didn't have any grain striking the rotor sensor , then that would be an indication to open the concaves more to reduce work load and thus horsepower (fuel). Remember that it still has more separation, once it enters the discharge beater and collects onto the return pan. I bought a 9750 sts brand new in the year 2000 and have had the sts machines for 24 years . Getting the material to evenly distribute on the chaffer is our biggest challenge. We run 50 ft heads harvesting wheat and drive to power exhaustion to balance the flow on the chaffer. Any loss we get is from the chaffer so we disregard anything that the rotor loss sensor tells us. I'm a contractor with 6 sts machines in Australia. Love your work and will come meet you in America one day.
Zeth, awesome video bro! As a kid we had a Fiat New Holland 3600R in our rice fields here in Guyana. Now we do corn and beans with 2 S780 tuned and deleted (S790). Things have surely improved from then to now 😊.
Hey Seth with a Z! I grew up on the farm but this was a best explanation I’ve ever seen. Great video. Amazing how far technology has come since I was on the farm in the 70s and 80s.
Great video Zeth, it seems some farmers the world over are very lax at cleaning their combines out after the harvest, it encourages vermin to make a home in the combine and cause further damage.
My son has one of those Milwaukee pumps, he loves it! Since he works at a Case IH dealer, he is not near as busy as you are 😂 (just kidding! ). Great content!
Zeth, you are the best. Thanks for the explanation of corn harvesters. I grew up on a dairy farm in western Massachusetts and dry corn harvest wasn't common back then. However, I loved your walk through of the harvester!!
Great Video Zeth. Much appreciated. I start as a John Deere Ag technician in two weeks. I grew up raising livestock and not too familiar with how harvesting/ planting systems work yet. Videos like this help a ton. Thanks again! Cheers
Thank you for this awesome video, Zeth! It's interesting to see all of the new technology and how we continue to use and build on the technology of the old threshing machines of the early 1900's. Some ideas didn't change.
Hi Zeth, thanks a bunch for the intro video. I drove by your facility nearly on top of I-70 in Illinois twice, once on my way out to the West Coast, and again returning eastbound . I waved at the facility as I went by the second time. Made me smile. Thanks, Zeth!
That portable Milwaukee pump is awesome. I can see so many great uses for it in the field, going to have to get one now. Great info zeth keep the videos coming.
the first combine i run was a new holland back in 1982 and then case hi 1640 and a1660 the working are still very much the same altho we had to stop the combine to adjust the sieves and the concaves, it did have the grain sensors both sides of the sieves and one for the rota and gauges to show the losses. never did get to run a john deere. great to see how much earier it is now with the computer being able to change thing on the go.that pump is an awesome bit of kit will save you alot of time. thanks zeth found that very interesting
Thanks Zeth that was cool to see . I cant imagine all the amazing minds that have made these machines work and all of the techs that keep them running you are a master tech your mind must be swimming sometimes nice
Chet from Larson Farms started using the "HarvestSmart" feature on his JD combine this year, and said he was very impressed with it. I believe he ended up using it for most of his corn harvesting this year. Great video, Zeth (very cool name, BTW), thank you.
Thanks for another great video ZK. It was interesting and enjoyable. You new tool is great. And it moves whatever at a pretty good speed. Nice tool for you to have. Amazing what they are making now days. Good going ZK. Thanks for showing us the path of the corn harvest. Some of that I knew and some I did not. Amazing process on a big piece of machinery going thru the field. Amazing technology. Thanks ZK. Enjoy the video. Thanks. The Iowa Farm Boy.
Sorry for the double post, but I was still watching the video during my first post... Anyway.... Zeth, you might want to think about putting an Amazon affiliate link in the video description for that Milwaukee fluid pump. I always buy from affiliate links to support high quality content from high quality creators like yourself. It also helps to know I'm buying the right product! : )
Another good video thanks for all the information I own two of those Milwaukee transfer pumps I mainly use them for transferring radiant heat antifreeze solution they have pumped hundreds of gallons with no problems.
Great video as always. I always learn something from your videos. Those Milwaukee transfer pumps are the best, I have used it on hydraulic oil too with no problems.
Great video Zeth and was great to see the changes in technology since I last worked on a 70s manufactured combine. Things sure have improved and having never worked on a JD, was real interesting for me. That pump sure can work and is going to make your life a lot easier for sure. Thanks from Scotland as always Zeth for the time and effort you put into all your videos.
wow im not a farmer but always wondered about how a combine works your video is the best on the internet Thank You now I know ........... so can you tell me now how a Zamboni works lol im now a subscriber
Hey Zeth with a Z 😁 Thank you so much for all of your explaining and showing how stuff works, really appreciate it 🙂👍 Another tool that might be interesting for you, especially since you seem to like Knipex Cobras, is the Mini-Cobra. Available in 125mm length and the even smaller 100mm, a really tiny and cute one. But don't get fooled, those things can really bite and work, and are extremely handy (personally, i love the 125mm one). Maybe worth a look 🙂 Best wishes from Germany 💚
I just ordered one of the Milwaukee pumps . Not sure how I will use it . I usually pump coolant in through the petcock either in the block or the radiator whichever is easiest to get to . Then just watch the resievore tank till it gets full. That way it pushes all the air out the top. I use a camper/sprayer type pump but I have to hook it to the battery or a booster pac and would rather have a self contained unit. Hope this new pump will work. Going to use it for hydraulic oil too.
great video Zeth with the technology available like in pea combines where they self adjust to keep the machine level front to back and side to side why can’t they do that with these combines either by leveling the whole machine with hydraulic cylinders between the axles and the machine or possibly just having the internal workings level themselves it would cut down the grain loss on the hills maybe it could be a option for people who live in hillier areas so flatlander’s wouldn’t need to buy it
Thanks for the excellent explanation. One thing I can't figure out...if the chaffer and sieve are set to the size of a kernel in corn. How do I have giant .5 inch pieces of cob in the tank. Is there a spot where it goes in before the chaffer? Obviously the goal is to open the concave and not break cobs to begin with.
Just a question, and I hope it doesn't sound stupid. The header varies depending on the crop right? What about the internals? Here you're explaining how the corn is moving in the different areas? But can you use the very same harvester for wheat for example, or the internal components are completely different? Or is it just the adjustments made for the various clearance that enable to work with so many crops with the very same machine? I've been working as a kid to make money in a farm (bailing wheat straw after the harvest, I was on a trailer packing the small bails). And I also harvested every year grapes that was used to produce wine ! But for some of those machines, I never had a proper access to it, so I never questioned it !
There are two different headers we use. Corn heads and platforms or drapers for beans and other small grain. The other types of grain take the same path the corn kernel does it just requires different adjustments and speeds on the separating and cleaning system.
Zeth, just seeing your good video. so at 6:30 in the video, the separator grates are shown. i see the last one does not have the spacers in it. i have read some about leaving spacers out of every other one or do like the one you show there. what is your opinion of how to use the spacers: should they be all in or all out OR should it be staggered somehow? thx
You cannot put the spacers in on the last one on a class 8 or 9 because of the return auger that is below it. Spacers are supposed to be installed in corn and beans.
Hi zeth Looking for some advice on a jd t560 2017. In Europe 5straw walker with the tangential drum. . Just wondering why jd don't have all the main drum bearings greaseable ? Will these bearings last?
I spent my summers as a kid working my uncles farm. Of all the machines a large farm operation has, the only one I never was allowed to run was the combine. The only one who would run the combine was my uncle, the owner. I never understood why until today. I was itching to take out the combine and run it. Nope. Off limits. I could run every tractor, skid steer, plow, rock picker, you name it, but the closest I ever got was running a grain cart next to it while it unloaded.
Enjoyed the video. Maybe you could answer this question for me. I've always wondered why some farmers trade New combines Every year. It doesn't make sense to me to trade a New combine after one harvest season when it is still practically brand New and has lots of life left in it. Thanks
Such an impressive piece of engineering. No doubt a nightmare to assemble and maintain. Having all these sensitive sensors in such a hostile environment must be so prone to failure.
Super cool video..very informative, I remember asking you about this months ago on a video and you replied that you would do a ‘path of the kernel’ video sometime..glad you remembered..respect👊🏻🇺🇸 I see in your future a Milwaukee marketing team member calling you for real-world-use opinions..it’s the best source to improve the product line
The Larsons were just lucky with a Shank. Years ago when we had our 4 690’s someone was jealous of the new land we leased I’m guessing and they hid a Tow Strap with a big hook in one of the swaths in our field. It sucked the Strap in so fast that it wasn’t noticed until the carnage started. 🤬 Need to sit out with a Thermal Scope on the .22-250 Pharmaceutical dispensary.
Hy Zeth! I'm a hungarian self-employed JD Technician, and I see your every videos, are you very impressive, professional, open personality. Can I write for you a private massage, a have for you any questions? Thank you very much! Csaba

@philw5519 was that the vandalia store? I’m in Atwood.
@@ZKMasterTech Yes, indeed, I know that there are a bunch of stores, but I was delighted to see a "Sloan" store from the highway.
That portable Milwaukee pump is awesome. I can see so many great uses for it in the field, going to have to get one now. Great info zeth keep the videos coming.
Glad I didn’t have to write a test for the inner workings of a combine. I got nothing out of this presentation.👍🇨🇦
Welcome back bro

Another good video thanks for all the information I own two of those Milwaukee transfer pumps I mainly use them for transferring radiant heat antifreeze solution they have pumped hundreds of gallons with no problems.
Excellent path of the kernel.
Personal, I would put a sediment filter in line with the pump if that's possible. On the larger size particle filters.
Great video as always. I always learn something from your videos. Those Milwaukee transfer pumps are the best, I have used it on hydraulic oil too with no problems.

Excellent video
Thanks Jeff, great video 😎
the best thing i have found to filter antifreeze is a paint strainer
Just what I wanted to see in order to comprehend the inner workings of a combine. I would think the company should be buying that fluid transfer pump.
Fascinating, thanks.
I just ordered one of the Milwaukee pumps . Not sure how I will use it . I usually pump coolant in through the petcock either in the block or the radiator whichever is easiest to get to .

wow! interesting. todays techs have to be quite versed in everything electronic & mechanical.
Just curious, if not my business tell me so, is Zeth a name passed down in the family? I have not heard it before
Yes i was named after my great grandfather.
Hi zeth
Looking for some advice on a jd t560 2017. In Europe 5straw walker with the tangential drum. . Just wondering why jd don't have all the main drum bearings greaseable ? Will these bearings last?
Seth with a Z. Got it. Lol
Its been awhile to see u again bro
Rotor lost, I always wondered how the cornstar knew what his rotor lost percentage is. Thanx zeth 😮😮🤯🤯
Do you know where the combine machine was invented and who developed it to how they are today . Happy Easter Zeth from sunny England.
I think we need to see the Milwaukee pump up against some cold 15w-40
Ya good to see ya the Milwaukee sure kicked but

Zeth what happens when that pan that was Very Dirty and plugged I’m assuming the Farmer never cleans his machine?
Most combines are not super clean on the inside.
