Awesome video!!! Never knew about that inspection hole!! Picking corn now and jist used it!! Very helpful little tip to jist add another check to your overall efficiency! Also did the power shut down too and very helpful information! Thanks for the video and your time to make it
Good job on your video.... it gets a thumbs up! This is where the old Gleaners were so easy to set for a clean sample. They had visual tailings return from the very first A to the last L4 (yes there was an L4). You could even grab a handful of tailings if you wanted to and do it on the move or just glance to the right while combining and see the tailings flow. I miss that feature in my R52 but sometime I'm going to see if I can get camera installed to see the tailing. My L2 was a great machine but I still did the things you showed here in the video.
Like the old John Deere's where the tailings elevator came into the cab and you could open the door. Probably not OSHA approved because potentially you could get a hand caught in the elevator. LOL On this combined from the cab I can see the returns auger as well!
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 You should show the tailings return in action. I like seeing the older machines getting it done. Back in 2011, my second year running Dad's farm, I was combining corn in my L2 and right next to me was a brand new Deere flying with a 12 row head. I felt pretty puny and antique as he flew along. After a while I didn't see him and then I saw the Deere service truck. I ended up finishing my 75 acres before he finished..... granted he was in a 300 acre chunk.... but what happened was the computer went haywire and he could not shut the machine down or stop it and he ran into a waterway ditch bank and twisted the corn head and combine frame. I didn't feel quite so bad in my old antique L2 after that :) and the neighbor had another loaner from Deere the next day.
yes. the first year we had the combine I could not get it to work. at 2-3 mph it wasn't bad. as we got more comfortable with the combine ground speed picked up 4.5 mph. then it was tiring. ate a lot of dirt and rock, missed a lot of beans and broke a lot of guards and sickies. it's an easy system thought about putting it on the coen head.
Great video and great information. I have a jd 4420 and I’m getting cracked cob in the grain tank and small amounts of smaller stalk. Should I work more with the sieve
If you're getting cracked cob can you open the concave without sending corn out the walkers? Otherwise close down the top sieve a little at a time. Then check for a loss behind you to make sure that my clothes in the top down you're not running corn out the back. You should have two levers for the top sieve the Right One controls the front portion in the left one controls the back so you can use the right one in close down the front portion and leave the back a little more open
Any idea what your corn was yielding there? I would HIGHLY recommend against a power shutdown on a 7720 at least if you're pulling in 6 rows of 200+ bushel corn. Really, really good way to blow out a clean grain elevator. Ask me how I know...
If it was the lexion I hit the wheat setting. In the old deere I was taught for wheat you close concave till you hear cylinder tick a little than open a couple cranks. Grain tank sample and looking for loss behind combine would be same diagnostic,
Jon, I Dont know if you still see the comment on these older videos or not. but I have an 8820 I have saved and I am trying to make work for my first year of farming (2020) I took some of my end rows off last night as I felt I had lots of grain loss out the back of the machine. I tightened up my concave and that made it thresh better but I am still loosing out the back. where would be the next place to start ? slow fan speed down or open sieves up more ?
Close both top and bottom screen decks then Take a coffee can of whatever take a coffee can of whatever grain that you're harvestingand dump that coffee can on there and open it up until that grain easily goes through when you wipe with your hand and then open it a little extra. The next screen Beloit open it up until the grain can just go through. Then a little tiny extra If the loss is out your chopper then that's a thrashing issue. There is some inspection ports for the concave on both sides in the upper back and if it's soybeans I would set it so it's you can get your thumb in there between the rats bar and the concave if it's corn hand shelikhov and open it up until a cob just fits between the RASS bar and the key stock on the concave.
Thank you for the video Jon ! I've been doing some repairs and fine tuning on a JD 7720 Titan II and this sure helps .👍 The operators station looks very similar to yours and we got the machine back in action after some belt replacement and other repairs but I can't get the indicator light and warning buzzer to go out for the straw walkers . Everything is working fine and I replaced the censer on the straw walker shaft but light is still on and buzzer buzzing in the cab . I suspect a broken wire somewhere in the works . Any thoughts Jon ?
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 That's what I suspected as well . We disconnected the warning buzzer and customer is shelling corn now . Will investigate the wiring on a rainy day . Thanks again for the help !👍
So apart from the corn head the rest of the machine's settings and adjustments seem pretty much the same as setting one up for small grains which is what I'm familiar with on our crops (Wheat, barley, oil seed rape, linseed, peas and tic beans etc). We cannot grow grain maize here and the seed companies are only just beginning to try small plots or fields of soya beans. - I have ever seen a corn head in real life only pictures and videos!!

Thanks for the kind words
Excellent video.

Ha.
Yeah I'll get some footage of that
Do you think you can do a video on how to set your combine in beans?
yes.
the first year we had the combine I could not get it to work. at 2-3 mph it wasn't bad. as we got more comfortable with the combine ground speed picked up 4.5 mph. then it was tiring. ate a lot of dirt and rock, missed a lot of beans and broke a lot of guards and sickies.

Good chance 170 ish?
Thanks for video,it is all i need
Great instruction for corn. How would you go about finding a good starting point concave setting for wheat?
If it was the lexion I hit the wheat setting. In the old deere I was taught for wheat you close concave till you hear cylinder tick a little than open a couple cranks.
Grain tank sample and looking for loss behind combine would be same diagnostic,
Great video, Question for You. Why didn’t you
Just throw the separator clutch and stop forward motion?
What do you mean? A kill stall where you get running normal and shut engine off?

Magnet in the hub on the shaft?
If you touch wires together does it go out?
Good to see you back!
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 Thanks again . I ran a short jumper wire in the plug connecting the two wires and light stayed on .
@@cranerigging3604 then broke wire some where.

Do you use the dial a matic on that 88 in beans?
What kind of monitor are you running in your combine?
Agleader Integra. Love it!
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 is it a guidance steering or yield monitor? And how do you have it wired to your combine?
Yep. It's all the same theory.
