Sure glad your done , how much corn ya got left we finished beans Monday night in the rain sure glad we have bin space cut 58 acres av 62.3 on good ground. Neighbor stopped bye needs 27 acres of corn combined broke 6620 hydro problems . So asked if we got are wheat in told him no. So we he went n drilled are wheat for some good Neighbor help worked for us we both got done around 9 Monday night in the rain drove combine withe head on 25ft down the road about four miles get out of the way lol rained all day here today sure glad beans are out wheat is in with a rain on it. 123 acres of corn left . From turkey creek farms be safe n thankful
Beans here in NC Indiana are somewhat like your experience when compared to corn. Beans here were ok not great. We did have one 15 acre field do 69 BPA. We had another field (7 miles north) do 41. Like yours it ran out of water. Corn has been very good. I'm cautious about how good. Suffice to say we haven't seen anything below 162 and lots of 200+. Corn that's been hauled off entire farms to the elevator has been right with the monitor. It's been fun in corn.
Our IH will do the same thing in short/thin oats even with the reel set low and it has the standard guards and sickles. To us it seems more like a pitch problem where the reel doesn't reach to pull it up over or it's too steep and it will just pile up. If they're tall enough but a thin population to where you can keep the head up off the ground and get a slightly angled back pitch it has zero issues. Great video can't wait to see corn finished up next!
Funny you mentioned Jake, while watching this video he popped in my head and how I missed seeing his videos. Glad to see you got through bean harvest without too much trouble. Good luck with the rest of the corn.
Well that's good that you got that done. I also wanted to say thanks for taking some time to get the video camera and sharing it with us. Thanks Michael
I always used planted acres for my yield. In Indiana some older field acreage went from center line of road. Lol. Ditches and fence rows add up quick Good video. Congrats on getting the beans off
I just bought an 8700 white combine. I need you to do a video on how to get it in road gear. I cannot figure it out and the elderly owner can’t remember how. This is my first experience with combines. Any suggestions greatly appreciated
Luckily the sickle held in there. Looking forward to the 112 videos. I'm with you on the tires, just figured in case the tires were leaking, a tube would let you keep the original tires on until they were gone. Knowing how well you take care and restore stuff, it's going to be awesome when you get it back up and running.
Well at least you will survive another year and having a safe bean harvest just need to finish up corn and have a safe corn harvest good video and the different angle shot was cool too
Have the same problem with the love cutter bar on my head. Wants to plow dirt in the middle. Thought about either buying or making a poly skid plate kit for the head to see if it will float better.
Good to be done Farm Boy! Acerage-- several years ago we bought 76 acres. My tax bill had been saying we had more taxable acres so I finally had it surveyed. Turns out there is 86 acres. Even though the satellite says 76, We have an extra 10. Guess the old saying "They're not making any more ground" does not always apply! Ha.
You have probably figured it by now that the expanded metal is not correct for the grill or side shields on the lil Mini MO. But that thing is still sweet. The patina is killer. Awesome job with the beans.
You guys did better on beans than the fields around here. Most were getting 9-13. Insurance adjusters were busy. A lot of beans were baled. It got really dry and record heat just as they were setting on.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy I assume they planned to feed it. Most of the beans had not podded out or were empty pods and were still mostly green. Is it the plant or the bean that causes problems?
All we've been doing is stareing at a bench listening to you talk...haha well turn the camera on yourself while ya chat or explain things to us. Also check out a channel called Farming with Duffy AG. he tried out a new product as did one of his friends. His family works a dairy farm and they plant corn for silage and his friend plants soybeans...so he had a company reach out to him about a new product they have called Source. And they have blends specifically for beans and corn. Chris made a control feild in his corn sprayed part with source and the other part with normal fertalizers. Some time later dug up 4 plants randomly of each side of the feild...and instantly noticed a big differance in both sides...the root ball on the source side was easily twice the size if not tripple the size of the non source samples. And he even weighed the plants and the source plants we conciderably heavier. You'll have to scroll back in his vids to early june I believe but it may be something for you to look into for your corn and beans.
l put a tiger jaw sickel and guards on my combine like you are useing and in drilled bean it cut raged and the company said with drilled beans you half yo slow down. l know l checked with neighbors with regular sickels and they did fine. the stubby guards are thicker and will not let the beans feed through the sickel. you think about it it makes sense. my two cents worth!! l will be watchin!!
that has to make things for you super easy having combines 1 deadacated just for beans and wheat and one for corn not sure if you have to do any reports with the ASCS office but they should beable to get you better acer count on your fields
Can't keep people from being stupid and it only matters what you keep in your records. Glad you got some time to yourself without a camera complicating everything. Have a good one!
Ethan I am a little confused with your soil sampling capabilities, I used to pull soil samples and we ran a polygon around the field to obtain the actual acreage more or less depending on our offset and how many weeds and crap are around the perimeter or long sticking out what have you, don't you have the capabilities of doing that instead of monkeying around trying to find it on Google Earth?
I had a white quik-cut conversion on my old 1440/820 head and I shed it after running it one year. Did terrible in tough wheat and short soybeans. I put a Schumacher SCH cutterbar on that head and absolutely loved how it ran. Every other section is inverted and the negative gravity of the knife running in those SCH guards caused the wear to be very minimal.
I appreciate you sharing your numbers with us. I think you are doing great in a challenging year…
Thanks.
the Crary sickle sections are heat treated.
All sickle sections are heat treated.

Great To hear you're done with beans I really enjoy your grandcard that is pretty cool You'd be safe in that field your buddy from Nebraska

Thanks for the ride along Ethan. Glad beans are done. On to the next project. Take care. Fred
Thanks.
Great video as always. Love to see all the Oliver equipment in daily use, not much of it around here in my area of PA.
Thanks.

Thanks for watching

Next year I’m going to start writing down the acre counts off the drill so I don’t forget.
I just bought an 8700 white combine. I need you to do a video on how to get it in road gear. I cannot figure it out and the elderly owner can’t remember how. This is my first experience with combines. Any suggestions greatly appreciated
I finished up yesterday too.. great job and great video
Good feeling.

When the 2-105 is fixed and running would you use it for the grain cart?
We got done Monday with soys after I dug a coil tine off a field cultivator leveler out of the rotor on the combine luckily no damages
Well at least you will survive another year and having a safe bean harvest just need to finish up corn and have a safe corn harvest good video and the different angle shot was cool too
Corn is gonna go quick now.
I enjoyed the video 👍. I'm glad you got the beans done

I never had that problem with my love bar.

Would have been nice if it was 10 extra acres the government didn’t know about.
You have probably figured it by now that the expanded metal is not correct for the grill or side shields on the lil Mini MO. But that thing is still sweet. The patina is killer. Awesome job with the beans.
I bet it was the best intro of all time! Happens to the best of us.
It was pretty much the same thing I ended up with.
Why do you cut on a angle
Great content Ethan hope the corn is way better.👍👍👍👍👍👍
You guys did better on beans than the fields around here. Most were getting 9-13. Insurance adjusters were busy. A lot of beans were baled. It got really dry and record heat just as they were setting on.
What are they doing with the bales? Bedding or feed? Always heard you had to be careful feeding soybeans because they could cause digestive issues.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy I assume they planned to feed it. Most of the beans had not podded out or were empty pods and were still mostly green. Is it the plant or the bean that causes problems?
We have a Cary cutting system (guards and golden cut sections) on our Case-IH 1020 grain head. We LOVE it !!!
I loved the ones on my 525.
Great video.

Doesn’t matter what you throw at it for nutrition. No water means no beans.
Yeah I like when you use the old fashioned farm equipment you stay with the antiques don't you the older equipment going
l put a tiger jaw sickel and guards on my combine like you are useing and in drilled bean it cut raged and the company said with drilled beans you half yo slow down. l know l checked with neighbors with regular sickels and they did fine. the stubby guards are thicker and will not let the beans feed through the sickel. you think about it it makes sense. my two cents worth!! l will be watchin!!
Ethan. Just curious... do you have LED lights conversion kits on your combines?
No
Happy you got the beans done.
Thanks.
Don,t feel bad, our whole farm averaged 27 bpa on beans in NW Missouri. Not a good year for beans.
That’s a kick in the gut.
Poly will help, and I think you would like the 3 inch sickle better.
I know it will handle more diverse conditions better.
Cole the cornstar has a average of 38.5 a acre and he has around 600 acre beans
Don’t really care what that little spit fuck has.
that has to make things for you super easy having combines 1 deadacated just for beans and wheat and one for corn not sure if you have to do any reports with the ASCS office but they should beable to get you better acer count on your fields
I don’t do anything with any government office.
Can't keep people from being stupid and it only matters what you keep in your records. Glad you got some time to yourself without a camera complicating everything. Have a good one!

If I had the capability do you think I would do it that way?
@@Oliver66FarmBoy do you want me to pull the rig up there early next spring and get your polygons set up for you on site mate
Put a SCH cutter on it
No
Well hello there...
Will you put corn on your uncles place next year?
Yea
@@Oliver66FarmBoy 👍🏼
Not a whole lot of dust
What ever happened to Jake and TH-cam? Jeff Reymond was another good one that left the tube
Jake has a family. Done really know what happened to Jeff.
Jeff got fed up with You Tube adding ads to his video's so he quit making videos.
Jeff is back as One happy farmer
That's good. I liked Jeff's channel.
Mother nature can be a bitch for sure.

beans look nice n clean , combine is doing a good job
Thanks
