  • The path of the kernel is a lesson I give to every technician I train on combines. Understanding the path the grain takes and how the combine separates the grain from residue is an important thing to know as a technician. Also, I will show you the new technology on the John Deere S780 combine that helps the operator achieve the optimal grain quality. I will also explain how the combine calculates yield data in real time. At the end of the video I will show off a cool new Milwaukee M18 transfer pump that I bought that is going to make my life WAY easier. #milwaukeetools #johndeere #johndeerecombine #combine #combineharvester #harvest

    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

    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.

    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.

  • @mikebonnett7730
    @mikebonnett7730 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    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

    • @ZKMasterTech
      @ZKMasterTech  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

    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.

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 !

    • @ZKMasterTech
      @ZKMasterTech  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.
