Great videos Tim, I love to see the inter-workings of farms. Thanks for doing them.
Great insight into this aspect of moving corn in the harvest process
Love, love, loved the video. I watched it with my grandson and talked about what was going on. I worked on my uncle's wheat farm growing up and offloaded the trucks and rode the combines. It was magical and my favorite memory. Going to set up a field trip for a 5 year old and I'll get to have as much fun or more! Thanks for the fantastic video.
The moisture testing reminded me of my career before retirement as I worked in engineering at a materials testing laboratory. Nice video.
+Lod Price thanks Lod.

Great video. It's amazing to see how much goes into farming and how much people take it for granted.
+J Ren yea, farmers are just dumb hicks.
These have been great videos on farm life. And a thumbs up for Molly too!
+Michael Martin thanks Michael. Molly just showed up one day...a long time ago. Part of the family now.
Another great video Tim!!!
That hopper bottom feed auger with drive wheels is a back saver!!!
+Tommy Boy very nice, yes.
Great video Tom and Tim. Just happened to stumble on it while cruising TH-cam videos. It's good to see home town people!
Hey John! Welcome to our channel! We've got a couple hundred which might be interesting to you. Is this the first TTWT video you have seen?
I was happy to see a nice looking family working together. God has blessed you greatly
That is true. We are very thankful!
Nice to see the 1466 still at work. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
+Alan Schmalzried thanks Alan. It doesn't do much. I have spent MANY hours on a 1466. ...not this one, but one we had from 1974 to ~2000
Another great video. We have enjoyed the Marks harvest videos.
+Pat Roberson thanks!
Hi Tim love your videos
Intresting video tim , nice to watch , and good material 👍
+Johan Bos thanks Johan!
Great!! A Happy Eastern and nice Greetings from LOWER BAVARIA - Freestste of the Lion!!🇩🇪🤝🗽🇺🇸🌽🌽🌽
Happy Easter to you! We have been in Bavaria!
I hate when I get to bragging on something and then it quits on me! Looks like harvest is moving along for you guys!
Had a gate like that on one of the trailer i had when i drove end dump. It worked great for dumping into a hopper. God bless you'll
Hey Dan! Thanks for your comment.
Great vid Tim Smile More God Bless Stay Safe Guys 👍
Good stuff with family. Thanks for sharing.
+ilmo thanks ilmo!
Really enjoy the farming videos! Thank you!
+Naviss thanks Naviss.
Very educational thanks and God bless the labor of your hands.
Very satisfying video. Loved it. Thank you
Thanks! We have several farm videos with the same flavor. Hope you get a chance to check them out!
I love that scale & corn sample stick👍
Yea, nice to have a probe.
Memories! Thanks!
+mi2tn thanks for watching!
nice video, i been watching even older things working than that moisture tester you showed
watching lots of horses doing from wheat to flour and lots more older stuff got to luv the simpler ways
i could go WAY out on a limb & guess what your next video is going to be about but then you could do another 1 & mess my thinking all up haha
stay safe have fun b/c life is short
+mean joe green thanks Joe!
TTWT thanks for sharing these harvest videos awesome!!!
+bascketCase446 thanks!
People don't give farmers the respect they deserve. We would all starve to death if not for the humble farmer. Enjoyed the video.
We all didn't starve to death before production farms were around. I'm not hating on farmers either, I've worked for a friend of mine farming 1800+ acres.
There are LOTS more people to feed now. It is fascinating to see the increase in grain usage/demand. When you see the graphs and predictions of demand in the future as world population grows, it becomes quite interesting.
Tractor Time with Tim the demand isn't really feeding people. It's feeding livestock. Yes I know that people eat the livestock, (myself included, I eat meat.) but it's pretty inefficient. It takes a lot of grain to produce a little meat. If people in wealthy places ate less meat, then a lot more farmland could produce produce that feeds people directly. World hunger could easily be stopped if that was the case. I'm not some "redistribute the wealth" kind of guy either but I know a lot of people that get all bent out of shape about government safety net programs for low income people yet they fail to realize how much the Ag industry is government subsidized.
Definitely a one-sided point of view. Each one of your points is flawed and incomplete thinking.
Tractor Time with Tim all facts sir.
I have a moisture tester exactly like that one, except its not broken. It would've been nice to have an auger that size back in the day. Excellent video. I think you brother really likes making videos
+John Deno can you believe that switch broke (first time in 50 yrs) right there on Camera????
I have the same tester too, my grandpa had it in the basement, coffee can full of corn to the tester to check it, tester had a glass thermometer that fit in it's own holder, good memories, then we got a 9500 in 91 and it had an onboard tester and moisture tester is hidden in the corner somewhere
Yes, I remember the thermometer. Not sure it works anymore. For those who don't know, the temperature of the corn affects the test. So, the thermometer was supposed to be used to adjust for this.
International Harvester, Oliver, And Kenworth all in one video. This video ranks up in the top 10
Really cool video of this thank you got sharing
I've never seen anything like that trailer very cool!!
I've seen a manure spreader set up like this in made in Amarillo.
New subscriber here. That little lady knows her way around the equipment. We had an elevator we used at the cotton gin about 3 miles from my Grandpa's farm for the wheat & soybeans here in the Missouri Bootheel. Nobody here was growing corn back then in the mid 70's.
Welcome to our channel! Andrea is a brilliant young lady.
I fully agree Tim.
We wish a healthy, peaciful and happy new year for you . Best Regards AYKUT COSKUN ..
Love the farm videos too!
+David Harris thanks David! More to come!
Great video!
Thanks Floyd! Welcome to our channel. We have several other farming videos. Check them out!
Very interesting Tim. Thank you! I have stopped getting notifications about new videos from you Tim. I still get them from all the other channels. I didn't know if you could do anything about it or not. I usually just check . Be safe and God bless you and your family !!!!
+Ray Eddy Eddy, you can hit the little bell beside the subscribe button to get all notifications.
Seems like if one doesn't play one or two videos soon after the notification, they stop coming. Not fully sure I understand.
Yeah Tim I hit the bell when I first subscribed. That's ok. I can keep check on it. As my Dad use to say " it's like a Volkswagen , ain't no big thang " lol. Thank you. Be safe and God bless you and your family !!! Eddy
Nice video!
+Giovanni Soligo thanks for watching!
Keep the videos coming.god bless
+Matt Smith thanks Matt!
I always love the videos on the farm...you have a really nice, down to earth family that honors God.
Awesome blade on the Oliver.
+Airplane Doctor it has seen a lot of use over the years. Amazing what you can do with that blade.
good job
Harvesting is working great for you!
THANK YOU
Assuming you really are "Farm Show Magazine", we are subscribers of your print magazine, and we love the content.
Thanks!
WE APPRECIATE IT, THANK YOU!!
Amen to that Tim!!!
I got a truck full of bees wings a few years back, I own a wireless Internet business and was working on some equipment up on a leg and they happened to unload a few tandems full of corn while I was up there and I made the mistake of leaving my windows on my truck down about half way. I still find them in the truck every now and then. I never made that mistake again..
+Chadd Thompson sometimes they get really deep, like a snow-drift around the grain bins.
Central IL shoutout!
Another great video. Once again thank you for taking the time to make these videos and share this with us. I learn something new everytime I watch one of these videos Americas farmers feeding the world. IM glad they are having such a good harvest this year. I know they work hard and desreve it. Does your brother hall anything with the truck besides stuff for the farm? Also after all the corn is harvested is there any special prep work done to the fields for winter to get them reafy for the next spring?
+nashguy207 doesn't haul other stuff anymore. Used to be full time grain hauler. Not much to the fields. They are trying some cover crops this winter
Am I the only one that hears Hank Hill?
Very cool video btw
Nice! Makes me want to work for a farmer
The moisture tester was just like my uncles had. At the beginning of the harvest we always cut a swath and tested for moisture before going full bore. Did I say great video?
ME ENCANTA VER COMO LA AGRICULTURA EN USSA ES UN ASUNTO DE FAMILIA. FELICIDADES A ESTA FAMILIA
Gracias. Yes, it is a family operation.
si, es una operación familiar
Another great video. Thank you to all our farmers for what you do. By the way, what do you do with all that corn? Is it for livestock or what?
I believe this episode will answer that question in detail: Did the Tile Work? First Day Corn Planting (High Resolution - 4K) th-cam.com/video/-fL0RdLnsHA/w-d-xo.html
Do the scales weigh the entire truck at one time or does each axel get weighed individually?? I worked for the DOT as a weight Enforcement Office during my early 20's. We had that style scale at the weigh station but it only measured one axel at a time. Watching this video brought back some good memories.
+Tim KD5VMV this scale is 70' long. It can weigh the entire truck.
I love these types of videos. Question... so it is Tom that has his own semi-trailer scales and moisture testing equipment?
+EOSJOE well, my dad (Ray) and brother (Tom) farm together. They have this equipment.
I'm originally from Lawrence county where i'm guessing he gets rock from. Now I live in Vanderburgh. I'd like to help out on this years harvest.
i used a weigh scale like that when i was driving to, no school like old school
+john alan thanks John.
Great
I loaded scrap at a place in Philly with an old school scale like that. I thought it was pretty damn cool! What size end dump is that? How much did that load of corn weigh?
I want that trailer
Love your farm videos! (And the scripture verses too).
+Jim Clark thanks Jim!
I noticed the sign on the back of the trailer saying "not responsible for broken windshields". Does that really hold up? I mean around here if some debris falls off a truck and damages a vehicle or its windshield it is always the trucks fault no matter what.
+EOSJOE have no idea. I'm sure that sticker was on the trailer when they bought it used.
The trailer was originally a 'coal trailer'. ...before Tom purchased it. That would have been when the sticker was applied.
The way I see it if you are close enough for a rock to fall off the back and hit your car directly you are to close. People have forgotten about following distance. I mean come on it's a dump truck or trailer. Common sense would tell you to stay back
Its to encourage people to back off making them think they'll be on the hook if their windshield breaks from driving so close I'm sure the laws are much different and would lean towards the damaged vehicle
You should have a smaller sign that reads: 'If you are able to read this, that means you are too close' ...
I love your dog molly and I want the dog
The old pooch laying on the ground, right next to the auger...he or she was so relaxed..the machines didn't faze him.lol.
Yes, Molly doesn't seem to mind! She just showed up at the house one day many many years ago.
Nice.
Quick question, I have no idea about farming, so I was wondering why you wouldn't use the combine to dump into the truck? From what I can see the combine dumping into the grain cart and cart into the truck right at 10:35?
Ok, let's start with the broad purpose of the grain cart, and work from there. The grain cart is used in general to allow the combine to continue harvesting rather than stop to unload. We started using a grain cart in the early 90's. Wow. What an amazing improvement in productivity.
Now, for this particular incident, the grain cart was positioned over the truck unloading. The combine needed to unload. So, the combine just started unloading on the easiest target. There really is no disadvantage to the double dump, and it was much handier than any other approach. Had the truck been easier to reach, the combine would have dumped directly on it.
I don't remember for sure why the cart wasn't able to catch the combine 'on the go' in this instance. Perhaps if I watched the source video (the parts we edited out), it might come back to me.
Not a great answer, I'm sure, but hopefully that helps a little.
Tractor Time with Tim thank you so much for the reply, it definitely helped. Also thank you for posting these videos. I love agriculture farming and the machines involved and hope someday I'll be able to grow beans and corn. Your videos provide such a great insight, and information. Thank you! you're really great!
+Alex Nguyen thank you for the kind words!

Tim what type of corn does your family grow and is it used as feed or does it go for other types of processing?
We did an episode on this during harvest last year I think.
Some for food. Some for feed. Some for export.
ih nice grain bins how is the corn crop this year where is this and how mny arcas is this, feed to hogs or cattle how much is grain payin this ttyear trhanks.
Moving a Thousand bushels in 7 minutes, how productivity has changed the farm. How long does it take Tom to dump at the elevator with a bigger door open on the back of the trailer?
+Ken Litherland well, you saw it in nearly real time in the last video. About a minute. Of course the pit is large enough to hold more than a truck-load. The cool part at the elevator is that the leg can handle it almost that quickly. We used to have to wait on the leg to empty the pit before we could dump.
I didn't realize the pit was that big
+Ken Litherland ...the pit at the elevator. Obviously the home auger doesn't have much of a pit.
Farmers are taking off the Beans, know. Corn later. We are 3 or so behind this year. We had a wet Spring, and Summer. Beans are Small this year. We are in Eastern Ontario. Were is tour Family Farm

Hello, tell me how much such a trailer weighs- curb weight. And what is its volume?
13" diameter ?? never heard of that - that's big and fast - wow
+Donald Ellett and requires 100hp to run!
Well, we can’t all be ‘big time’ like you. I can tell, you are pretty special.
Did you say 1466? I have a tiny version of one of those with duals and used to own one with a blade and duals.well is it a 1466?
loved to have seen that OLIVER
Welcome to our channel. You'll just have to look around a bit more at the rest of our videos. Here is one with a lot of focus on the old 1950-T th-cam.com/video/-AHC3jIn1G8/w-d-xo.html
If I were the truck driver, I would have the trailer lights checked.
How many HP is the old International tractor driving the auger ?
It is a 1466. They raised the rating on them during production. Early ones were 125 or so, late ones were 135-145 I think. Check tractordata.com for a more accurate answer.
It was always aggravation when an elevator changed their modules just before harvest , the old moisture testers worked perfectly before they did that, every year at harvest the elevator would do that by the higher up bosses. Humm wonder why???
How do you already know the empty weight? Have to unload first. What if fuel was added.
Well, this rig has been weighed many many times. They weigh it each time full of fuel, then they subtract an approximate amount each trip afterwards. Years and years of experience tells them how much fuel is used for each trip.
Additionally, if they happen to get into mud or something which would make the truck heavier, they will explicitly weigh it empty again.
Lastly, being off by 20lb amounts to $1.00, so it isn’t incredibly important.
Overall, it is a ‘controlled environment’ where common sense rules.
Great observation on your part. I hope my answer makes sense.
You should do more farming vids
We will try to do more this year
Ok sounds great
awesome 2424 is the rock may he bless u always ,, loved the vid ,,,,,,,,,its Greek hehehe hope u get it :)
Keep standing in truth he is the only truth !!!!
25 ton of rock in a trailer that big? I've hauled more than that in our much smaller euro trucks. I mean the rigid 8x4 I drove took 20ton of payload with room for more (weight restriction hit at 32) Why
such a light load?
Highway weight restrictions. 80,000 lb maximum. 72,000 maximum on some Illinois roads.
Is the bottom hopper auger an electrically driven auger ?
No, it is either chain or shaft driven from inside the top end of it.
Tractor Time with Tim Ohhh I gotcha thanks for the reply
How many acres do you farm and where
+Donald Ellett SE IL.
well now,,13 in.!!that beats having to climb the leg,plus upkeep,changing bucket's,worn belt,head lagging,frozen distributor(multiple bin storage)dump pit,etc,,etc,,,don't know the cost comparison,,suppose if you only have shelled corn,,you'd be crazy not to do it this way!!
Where at in Evansville. I’m live in Evansville

I LIKE YOU QUOTES FOR THE BIBLE IN THESE VIDIOES...NICE.
Thanks for watching, JW.
Yes love to see how they do give thanks to our provider in life too.
Hi..., question from me in Holland ( Netherlands ) , I hear that all the grain , soja from the usa is geneticly modified.., is that true ..?
Greetings,
MichaEl.
+werkspoortje most is GMO, yes. There is no proof at all that GMO's are harmful to humans.
Ok.. , but many people here in Holland and more countries in the so called 'european Union ' don't trust it..., we don't thrust our governments anymore.
Anyhow .., it is not of great importance anymore , the day's of europe are numbered.
There's a lot of violence in our city's ,..moslim violence, and the media do not want to talk about it .
It becomes dangerous here . More people want to have something for there personal defence. They are taking us over.
Bless, Michael.
so do you farm with your brothers????????

Good video how many bushels in tottal

Tractor Time with Tim in the truck
+donald shooting videos roughly 1000 bu per truck load
how many bushel to the metric ton ?
+michael clinton 56lb/bu. Does that help?
Thanks for the reply I be able to work it out now
Man i would love to have that oliver
+Alexplayz Playz it is the family favorite.
Tractor Time with Tim i got a 1940's ford 9n but i would definitely rather have that oliver.
Wow,
omg, that's awesome. He's like my dad. T
hat's way different than what we do. Cool. (We're small, we wait until it's ok then throw it in the bin and then throw the fan on it). What kind of tractor has that kind of cab? we got rid of our 1066 cab, too hot.
Neat as hell. (done some "what, 40 amp breaker to what you're saying?" We auger it all in but we don't weigh shit (just on the way out). (zap (we don't do the box on the side auger.), granted we don't have you're type of truck to dump out of we usually use a gravity wagon (it works). You're probably good without it. (imo, but we use a little dump truck else-wise, one axle otherwise, not a trailer).
i.e. this =p

If you're dumping the corn in your own personal bins why are you weighing it? I can see if your taking it to the elevator to sell but not if you're just putting it in storage at your own farm.
That is a good question! We answer this in detail in the 'ride along with tim's dad...' video. Please watch that one and let me know if you have further questions.
Did that video help?
Ok, your comment makes sense. There are several answers. First, the onboard combine yield monitor is pretty accurate, but not close enough to 'divide by' meaning, when you are dividing crop between owner and tenant, you want to be as accurate as possible.
Same is true with the grain cart scales.
Grain from multiple fields is stored in the grain bins. They want to know exactly how many bushels (and moisture level) from each field.
Then, there is always 'shrinkage' in the bin. Partially due to drying, partially due to dust being blown out of the grain, and some due to spillage, etc.
So, after weighing the outbound grain from the bin, they can divide the revenue appropriately between field and owner.
Try to avoid thinking of this grain as a 'bank account', where everything balances. So, weigh frequently, in and out of the bin.
I hope that helps.
