Trials and tribulations of swathing or windrowing as you guy's say...the round up job knackered it in the UK..one job i really use to enjoy..No side knives? we use to run a Heeston 6500 12' header..No air con either....love the idea of rolling the swath...the bloody stuff always use to fluff up when picking it up..nightmare sometimes..Cj UK
After watching this vidja Nick, I remember a song I heard on an old TV show called Hee-haw.... Gloom, despair and agony on me, but the line that says it all.... If it weren't for bad luck I have no luck at all.... LOL 😂 got to laugh or you will lose your mind
Canola looks great! Sorry about your equipment issues. Things are bound to get better. Equipment just doesn't like to cooperate all the time. That would ruin the fun. Lol
Always something LOL:) At least it was nice and cool... only 36 degrees out! LOL:) Yep know celsius which is about 98 F. Texas weather! Actually it's been running about 100+ here the past couple weeks, one day was like 106, and a few at 103. Hot enough. Later! OL J R :)
"Back" in 2014 I had canola on the east half of my home section that was up to my arm pits and I'm 6'0" tall with pods everywhere too. Ended up going 60. Usually I'm pretty happy if I get in the mid 40s. My wheat that year did 70, barley 100, oats 150, and flax 45. Everyone was getting yields like that up here but I think all over Saskatchewan it was like that. I didn't even bother trying to put oats in bins, I just had grain rings set up at the edge of the field or the tandems would never keep up. Prices were also a lot better then. I'll never expect another year like that again.
@@SouthSaskFarmer1 haha yep. I'll be tickled pink if my canola is 40 this year. Crops were behind up here and got the heat blast in the last week of blossom. Guess I'll see if that hurt it much. Cereals and flax are really good looking though!
Really nice crop u got there Nick 💪 have to ask is petrol or gas as u call it cheap over there as u seem to run a lot of petrol engines where we use all diesel 🤔
Sorry to see all the problems, you sounded like i did with my New Holland 1495 two years ago. Parts are harder to get for it and want too much. Are you going to start looking for a replacement for it or not in the cards for now? Good luck and stay safe.
Engineers need hero’s to. I know you can find a pulley for it. Get all your dimensions and do some searching. Look at McMaster-Carr should find what you’re looking for
in the words of Billy ray Cirus Dont break my swather my achy breaky swath I just cant keep repairing it anymore cause if you break my swather I just cant cut anymore
I'm not sure if Ed Gosselin is scrapping or selling his swather complete, or if the parts are even compatible. BUT, it's a diesel job. Is your 6000 Chrysler 225 slant 6 powered?
Agreed - poor setup and design on that. Glad you show us all the work and the ups and downs - no faked it for TV here! LOL Soon it will be combines rolling!
Older and cheaper... didn't need the power of a diesel so they sold the machines cheaper with gas engines. Diesels and fancier are why the new ones are SO expensive! Later! OL J R :)
Maybe a dumb question Nick... But is the bigger header putting more stress on that pulley hub assembly? We have two 885 Masseys with 21ft headers. We have had trouble in the past with that. Local machinist built us one hub and we put a new one on the other. But they both have thousands of hours. Anyway I can see yours is exactly the same as ours. Hope you have better luck. Take care.
@@SouthSaskFarmer1 ok. Must of not been common here. Lots of 18fts around. Quite a few 21foots and only ever seen one that was I believe was a 25ft. Definently not a 30ft lol.
I get whats happening with that pulley bearing set up. Would this work: Get that aluminium pulley and machine a register on the inside of the rim and face down the spokes from the outside to the inside for a couple of inches. Then get a grinder and cut the unmachines portion of the spokes with a cut off wheel and discard the centre and the unmachine portion of the spokes. Get a biscuit of a suitable material, either steel or aluminium plate and machine outside so the pulley is a snug fit. Get hold of a wheel bearing assembly that is four stud, from a front drive car but use a rear wheel hub. They usually bolt to a sub frame. Drill and bore the disc to suit the wheel stud pattern making sure you have a register on the hub to centre it. Between the four studs, drill to accept the drive shaft from the header. Use the back of the hub bolt pattern to mount the whole assembly. I hope you get the idea. You may have to use a piece of aluminium maybe 1 1/2" thick so you can recess the wheel studs and nuts and get the driveshaft flange to bolt up. To secure the pulley to the plate, just drill holes thru the spoke into the plate. That is why you would need to face a short portion of the spokes. You can do a lot of work for $2200. A wheel bearing setup is designed to run without greasing and go for a long time. Hope you get the idea.
@@SouthSaskFarmer1 12" - 14" utility trailer steel rim, weld some separating rings to it in the middle to hold the belts, turn the outer rim and the separators down a bit on a lathe. pre-existing 4 bolt pattern and easily greased hub with stub shaft welded / attached to mount. most expensive part will be the lathe work. still should come out less than 700 bucks and last a heck of a lot longer. Probably under 500 actually
Wow Nick, you're knocking it outta the park this year with your crops. That canola looks fantastic!! Guess that's why the ol 6000 is having issues. You called it a "bitch". I know a REAL bitch. Her name is Stacey. From now on, I'm going to call your 6000...Stacey. That's all I got. Look forward to the harvest videos. TOG out!!

Well i can empathize with yer sasquatch stature climbing around machinery as i'm 6.5 and 270lbs and my latest vidja is me laid on top of my 6.0 doing an HPOP. nice holy canoly.
Do you have a lot of gas powered machines? Gas powered tractors vanished from Europe in the 1960s. Diesel is the only engine option for all agricultural and construction equipment. Gas/petrol must be very cheap in North America,( i know you're Canadian).
Is their a special category for vehicles used for agricultural purposes only? In Ireland it would cost a fortune to insure ,test and tax all your vehicles for use on public roads. We have a off-road diesel fuel available and it is about 60% the price of road diesel, so everything is diesel powered in farming .
Lol looks like that straight cutting canola fad pretty well died out. I swath every acre of crop I have and looks like a lot less straight cutting up here every year. Just a matter of time before everyone says no dessication and everyone will have to swath everything anyway.
I tried to find out why you don't grow corn, but you just hurled insults at me. I understand, you're sensitive guys. But I'm still trying to learn why you don't grow corn. Does it not pay enough? Is your growing season to short? Do you not have the right soil? Can you not grow enough to make any money? Is your equipment not big enough to handle it?
@@SouthSaskFarmer1 I guessed that much, I'm just wondering if it's one thing more than another? I do enjoy your videos. If I was a farmer, I'd probably be a lot like you guys. Twan's a little dorky, but he's a good mechanic.
Doesn’t yield as good as the stuff in the states, combining in November or even later isn’t very appealing, more specialized equipment (can use air seeder but not ideal and if you do then you have to use a regular header to cut it), generally have to truck it farther than say wheat, pretty well have to have a grain dryer, can be a pain come spring time, just not quite good enough variety’s out for here yet. I’d say about 60-70% is grown for winter grazing cows. Prairie farm report has a good video on it if your interested

I love your humour 😂 it’s a great feeling harvesting a big crop even if it’s not worth a great deal. Good luck with your breakdowns thanks for sharing
That's a nice looking crop there. That 610 DT will be sitting in your yard next spring if it all looks like that. Canola is waist high around here.
Hi Nick Beautiful crop of canola!! You need one of those every couple of years. Should make that Massey grunt a bit.
Maybe a little oll
Pretty good canola crop by the plant count. It bushed out awesome.

Thanks for keeping it real. Joys of farming.
Nice looking crop!! Wonder how many bushel per acre that will be
Back in the 80s we grew some that touched 7ft tall in places. But the yield was indifferent. Northamptonshire, UK
Great video keep cranking them out.
Every days a f×××ing joy. The struggle is real!
You are right it is I run my own TH-cam channel
Any issues getting canola through the mouth? Any issues getting parts ? I’m thinking about buying a 6000 and a 1682
The bullshit you go through on the farm some days, wow and still keeping it together.. great job 👏
Canola looks great! Sorry about your equipment issues. Things are bound to get better. Equipment just doesn't like to cooperate all the time. That would ruin the fun. Lol
The dealer could probably laser align that for around $1599.95! Or just use a strait edge. A string works in a pinch to align pulleys and sheaves too.
