I've been farming all my life and never saw corn delivered this way. Very creative Jacob, I have to hand it to you. Good job! And nothing wrong with having a little fun. I know my friends and I do as often as we can.
That manure spreader Is a slick idea. Can't beat those creeper ( Grandma ) gears for pushing those heavy loads around.! BTW, Brad has a beautiful, beautiful place!! 😃
Man Jacob this was adventures, amazing how much ear corn will go on the NH spreader, I see a spreader always as a slow moving farm piece of farm equipment, but you proved me wrong, it make a great long haul carrier.
That's the way to do it! Worked like a champ! Manure spreader wheel bearings should be plenty hefty for the load; I'd worry about the speed a little though-- keep her around 45-50 and stop and check for heating every once in awhile. The truck tires can handle it no problem. Implement or floater tires might be another issue-- too fast and they want to come apart, or if they squat under the load the sidewall flex will make the tires build heat-- too much and they'll blow out. If your spreader had airplane tires you'd really be stuck, as you can't go over 25 for any prolonged periods of time before they'll overheat and blow out. The rubber on them is literally SO THICK that the heat cannot get out of the rubber sidewalls fast enough-- rubber is of course an excellent insulator and poor conductor of heat... so the heat will build up from flexing and the insides of the sidewalls will get SO hot that the rubber fails, and they blow. People think that because they're rated for 150-200 mph for a plane liftoff or landing, that they can do that all day long-- WRONG! They can only go that fast for a minute or so while the plane lifts off and lands... the rest of the time they're sitting still or folded up inside the plane at altitude where it's 30-40 degrees to minus 50 depending on altitude... get a good cold soak... I've pulled a 14 foot disk 90 miles from the Needville farm to the Shiner farm, among some other implements and stuff, 10 foot shredder, etc... took the back roads because of the width but there's one stretch where there IS no back road, so it's 90A which was the old Houston-San Antonio road back in the days before freeways like I-10. The Navidad River bridge is the worst spot on the whole trip-- it's only about 22 feet wide with concrete and steel siderails and NO shoulders- the rail is about a foot or two outside the white line. Have to time it just right and wait until oncoming traffic is clear then take off across the bridge taking both lanes. Just have to sit on the shoulder a few minutes til it's clear both ways and then BOOGEY!!! Most of the trip I kept her at 25, just enough to turn on the cruise control and let her rip. The implement tires, one tri-rib tractor front and one treaded implement tire, on the disk don't like going too fast-- about 35 tops is all that's recommended, particularly for a tri-rib because again, the thick rubber can get VERY hot from flexing and is too thick to get rid of the heat properly... same reason tractor tires are only recommended for about 30-35 tops for any length of time. I greased the bearings well before the trip and stopped a couple times to check the temps, they were okay. I did have a stupid rim split around the lug bolts (four lug implement hubs) and crack out, and the tire went wonky-- I saw it in the mirror and pulled off the road before it let loose and dropped the disk-- first time I ever disked with a pickup! She was rooster-tailing dirt and grass pretty good for a few seconds before I got her stopped. Jacked it up put a spare tire on and tossed the broken rim in the back and we were off again in 15 minutes... Still better than driving the tractor between farms 90 miles apart-- those Fords only go about 15-16 mph in road gear, so that's a six hour trip... relaxing, but SLOOOOWWWWW... Ah those fun farming adventures!!
The area you were in looks the same as it does here. I've pulled alot of manure spreaders but never with ear corn usually the result of eaten corn. Great video. Nice farm.
Used a ground-driven New Idea 12A spreader once to haul rock salt out of a slaughter operation; we used the floor chain and not the beaters or the wide spread to top dress a crushed stone lane, worked it in with a spike-tooth harrow--lasted a long time. Also, when worn out, they make good firewood haulers.
I sold it in the spring. Just didn't use it enough. Flatbed hits the road at least twice a month. Grain truck only moved in the fall and once or twice beyond that. I have a big gravity box to put on the flatbed if needed.
In the 60s we had a 33 John Deere spreader we would take the beater off clean it up dad built a end gate and we would haul our oats to the grainery with it I pulled it with a Oliver 60 and dad combined with a 66 Allis combine dumped in a little elevator like yours
Then you've got a wagon gear weaving back and forth behind you, rather than a trailer gear riding straight and true... but yeah in theory it's good... depends how far and how fast you have to go...
so at least you have brake lights and turn signals, oh wait you don't. The maximum speed allows using an SMV sign is 35Mph FYI so keep an eye out for the POPO
Jacob How does your customer use that ear corn? Sixty years ago, we would put it thru a hammermill and feed the result to the dairy cows. Attempts to feed whole ears seemed to lead to a lot of wastage, measured by the output of whole kernels in the manure.
Ear corn? I've NEVER heard ANYONE, especially a farmer call his corn EAR CORN. Like, maybe there are corn varieties which do not grow on ears maybe? Whats the variety of this corn? Is it for animal or human consumption? !

Loving the almost daily uploads! The new camera is nice as well. Keep up the great work.
I'm pretty much caught up on editing now. So we'll see what trouble I get into more close to when happened.

It isn't stupid if it works. Manure spreaders are under rated for their versatility.
For sure!!! Fire wood also

Farmer engineering at it's best!
That Easy Dumper is nice .
And very rusty.
And you brought elevators, that's awfully nice. Dang good friend you are!
That’s what ya call crappy corn delivery lol 😆
I've made it high priority to wash this spreader after every use. This fart wagon is my baby, and I hope I get twenty more years out of it.
@@boehmfarm4276 keeping it clean is the way to do it 👍👍
Good Video ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. From Wisconsin Dairyland 🧀
@@boehmfarm4276 shiny turd hearse... LOL:) Right way to do it!
That's a great idea using walkers on manure spreader. Never thought of that.
We might have a crib to fill next year and a wagon would just have to wait and say
Do you still have the grain truck?
I sold it in the spring. Just didn't use it enough. Flatbed hits the road at least twice a month. Grain truck only moved in the fall and once or twice beyond that. I have a big gravity box to put on the flatbed if needed.
Get er done anyway you can… it’s the results that really count!
Interesting how much of America looks the same. The drive looks just like Missouri, or Arkansas, or Tennessee.
I have done this for oats, it works very well.
The little drag elevator is a McCurdy made in Ada Ohio years ago before they were bought out by Unverferth in Kalida Ohio
NH made a spreader that could be outfitted with high sides and a side conveyor for use as a silage feeding unit.
Love the extensions haha
best tools are the ones that are multipurpose
In the 60s we had a 33 John Deere spreader we would take the beater off clean it up dad built a end gate and we would haul our oats to the grainery with it I pulled it with a Oliver 60 and dad combined with a 66 Allis combine dumped in a little elevator like yours
Oddly enough, a bushel of ear corn is 70#, but ear corn was usually sold by the 350# barrel, not the bushel.
What's that easy dumper rated for? Good option for my work truck once the bed rots out.
It'll tip 6000lbs.
You might try a self unloading forage wagon instead. We used to pick all our corn with John Deere #112 chuck wagons. They worked great.
Then you've got a wagon gear weaving back and forth behind you, rather than a trailer gear riding straight and true... but yeah in theory it's good... depends how far and how fast you have to go...
I'm guessing Adams county.
Works nice delivered corn. Have a good day
Got my hopes up when you said brads house lol. Brad should come back on the chance for a visit
so at least you have brake lights and turn signals, oh wait you don't. The maximum speed allows using an SMV sign is 35Mph FYI so keep an eye out for the POPO
Magnetic trailer lights from Horrible Freight is a good investment for just such circumstances...
what they use it for? the kernels probably dont get digested quite right by livestock and for burning it seems expensive too
Interesting. I liked the old cab forward Dodge truck at Brads place.
I do too…wonder if it has the 413?
It has a six cylinder
It has a six cylinder and it's a 1954
This reminds me of my uncle using 2 augers and a gravity wagon to unload his corn bin, since its in an odd spot.
Whatever works... uses the gravity wagon as a "funnel" to the second auger?? BIL has done that before...
Jacob
How does your customer use that ear corn? Sixty years ago, we would put it thru a hammermill and feed the result to the dairy cows. Attempts to feed whole ears seemed to lead to a lot of wastage, measured by the output of whole kernels in the manure.
He'll be grinding it for beef cows.
Now there is something you don't see every day!!
Brads friend looks like Josh Harris from the tv show deadliest catch.
Good video.
Do you know if he's planning to store the ear corn in that gravity wagon? You think he'll have moisture issues?
Corn dry enough he will not have issues.
Is that for cattle feed?
Brad has a variety of tractors
Bros got top quality cran
Life on Maine farms. We are all Maine Farm Fans.
I believe Boehm farm is located in southern Ohio.
@@hoofhearted304 southwestern lol
Great way to unload
Up here in Northern Michigan we call that road a two track
What ever happened to your helper Brad do you still talk to him?
Yes, he's driving semi now.
You are a entremanure,
Did you feel wheel bearings when when you arrived ?
Just what I was thinking. Are the wheel bearings in that spreader road-rated bearings? Like a truck, or semi-trailer?
I stopped once, they were fine.
Do you still have the hens?
Funny story coming soon.
👍👏👏👏
One to watch at lunch 12:00 GMT.
What prices are you able to sell ear corn for?
🇨🇦
I HATEEEEE That stretch of Brad's road
Got the job done without a lot of labor
Make's perfect sense to me, 🙂
👍👌❤🇨🇦
How much is a bushel go for
Ear corn was selling for 210 today
The drag elevator is a mcurdy
Ear corn? I've NEVER heard ANYONE, especially a farmer call his corn
EAR CORN. Like, maybe there are corn varieties which do not grow on ears
maybe? Whats the variety of this corn? Is it for animal or human consumption?
!
It's the fact it's still on the cob.
Interesting
What Is He Asking For That Old Coke Sign?
osb boards for extensions
I reckon Motorola cameras aren't the best when it comes to darker environments
I'm pretty sure that spreader isn't rated for these speeds!!
They didn't try hard enough when making their ratings.
Would have been a good video if you didn’t talk so much🦞👎🏻
We might have a crib to fill next year and a wagon would just have to wait and say
