Excellent video really enjoyed watching your videos each day please continue to keep up the great work always looking for more great content in the future thanks again and hope you have a wonderful safe rest of the harvest season
You need to go to a janitorial supply store and get you a 5 gallon bucket of BH38. Squirt that on with a jug sprayer and mud just falls off with the power washer! Cool video......
Spring work was cold and a wet fall harvest. I thought a dry harvest would happen after that dry summer. Enjoyed your farming videos this year. Merry Christmas from North Central, IL.
Im here in indiana and we're still wet and muddy and we should be frozen by now. We're getting rain instead of snow our weather is changing and has been for a few years now. Our ground doesn't freeze until January if it even does.
@@aTrippyFarmer No, you need Jesus. Everything thats painted and needs to be cleaned needs a "Griot's Garage" Foam Cannon and Soap, for a true "touchless wash" and you'll never have to touch it again. "Nothing Runs Like A Deere" 🦌👍🇺🇸
When picking down corn nothing works well. In my 50 plus years of corn harvesting once in awhile going cross ways works. Doesn't make sense but whatever works, right?
How do you plan how much of what you’ll plant for the next year’s crops? I’ve been dying to know, but so far, no one’s answered. Is it based on set contracts, then whatever’s extra you sell? Obviously, I’m not a farmer, have no clue…you can roll your eyes, I can’t see it.😉But really want to know. Love learning the logistics, esp now with fertilizer’s obscene cost, can you plant more legumes?
It can be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be. We keep everything on a corn-soybean rotation. The next crop is always the opposite. This is the best way for us to raise row crops without incredible disease and insect pressure. We are relatively simple people. However, there are operations that look at the economics with a fined-tooth comb. They analyze futures prices, cost of production numbers, and other external factors to decide if they want to plant more of one certain crop, which typically is corn on corn, but I do see soybean on soybean occasionally. Corn and soybeans are our most profitable crops, so it is an easy choice to grow one of the two. Other areas might consider small grains, specialty produce, or even pastureland depending on the economics of the farm.
@@aTrippyFarmer thank you! I knew you’d explain it. I did know that you rotate crops & yes, this year many farmers planted corn on corn bc corn prices were high. So,you contract a certain % ahead of times then store & sell the rest when prices are high?
May want to go to LSW tires. Traction is just as good, maybe even better than tracks. Also a lot easier to clean than tracks, and cheaper than tracks. LSW tires are more fuel efficient than tracks. Takes less horsepower to run LSW tires than tracks. As a heads up,.....those bogie wheels will probably start falling apart, and will cost big bucks to repair or replace them. LSW tires don't need no stinkin' bogie wheels.
The horsepower is probably a big selling point. The tracks noticeably waste some power compared to tires. I have seen an increasing number of LSW tires on combines around here!
Agree the night shots are excellent.
Enjoy ur channel good job. I'm a chicken farmer from Delaware enjoy seeing different operations
Awesome! Thank you!

Hello from Moosomin, Saskatchewan, Canada great videos thanks for sharing with all of us
Congratulations on finishing up your Corn Harvest. I'm sure after fighting so much mud this year it is a relief to be done.
It was a great feeling to finally be done. Normally I would miss harvesting after a week, but I haven't looked back yet!
@@aTrippyFarmer What reason do you run such small corn heads on such a powerful combine? Is it to move faster through the fields?
@@pickelsvonbrine the corn head only determines throughput if the crop does not have enough volume. The 8 row heads can keep a 780 full with our corn yields.
@@aTrippyFarmer Ah okay! Makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the reply!
We have harvested down corn! No fun at all and takes forever! Good Luck!
It’s nice to see your subscriber numbers coming up Andy!
Thanks 👍 they have been slowly moving upward... people must like the mud!
Barnum & Bailey would be jealous at the size of that TGM Neoga circus.
Have safe happy hoilday days merry Christmas god bless you all for hard work you all do
Thank you! You too!
Excellent video really enjoyed watching your videos each day please continue to keep up the great work always looking for more great content in the future thanks again and hope you have a wonderful safe rest of the harvest season
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always!!!
Awesome channel! Thanks
Glad you enjoy it!

That's an awesome tip. Thank you!
Thanks
👍👍👍
Great job. Too you and the crew . Thank everyone for the videos that you do for me. Great job 2021
Our pleasure!
good drone footage on this one.

I got 2 words for you Trippy, "Foam Cannon"
"Nothing Runs Like A Deere" 🦌👍🦃
That combine needs Jesus!
@@aTrippyFarmer
No, you need Jesus.
Everything thats painted and needs to be cleaned needs a "Griot's Garage" Foam Cannon and Soap, for a true "touchless wash" and you'll never have to touch it again.

I've always wanted a small lift or basket lift for power washing just imagine not getting a face full of Mud and crap .
Looks like a tornado touched down there I have seen that in a corn field did you think about moe boarding the deep tracks out that should work
One of your merch shirts should be red, in honor of ur dad!! Lol
I need to make a marty edition🤣
Night time drone is awesome Andy!!
From what I can see I would say the first shot is about 300 to 400 feet altitude?
Yes roughly in the 300ft neighborhood. The drone cannot legally fly higher than 400 feet vertically!
Are you going to put tracks on your 2nd combine next year? Tracks are the future it seems.
No the tracks were more of an insurance policy. They will probably come off this winter.
What kind of light is on the bottom of you drone?
Those are just the standard safety lights. There is nothing aftermarket about it!
Are the light up snout tips an after market thing? If so where did you find them at, would love to have those.
Andy, what light was under that drone, is that built in or an add on.

It’s like pulling teeth 🤣

Your channel is blowing up
Some of the videos lately have done well. Overall growth hasn’t been huge, but that is more of a grind.
What kind of drone you have Andy? Love your vids
DJI Mavic 2 Zoom
The weather is changing and its only gonna get worse every year.
why such a small header on that 780?
How dry was this corn?🌽🌽🌽
It was about right. 16%, if I recall correctly!

I'm surprised you your dad don't farm together with grandpa, how's he get it done, how old is he?
👍
I thought you guys were done with harvesting
We were. That was custom work for my grandpa, which is a completely separate operation.
Why don’t you get a 16 row head so then you are actually getting something done
🌽🌽👍
