Yeah those semi-load pits sure are nice... nephew's family farm has one, you just pull in, hit the button, crank the doors, and let her rip. The thing even has load sensing (amp sensing) on the electric motors, it can tell when the pit is empty and turns itself off! Shut the doors and hit the scale and let it do it's thing! OL J R :)
Yeah, your exactly right on the throttle adjustments, little taps are easier to do small changes. If it had a rail like a Magnum, it's easier to wrap a pinky around and use that as leverage.
That's not too bad of a trip... our closest sale/delivery point is the egg farm (Maxim Egg Farm) the other side of the next town over, Boling... it's 13 miles from the Needville farm. Next closest elevator after that is Hungerford Grain, which is 23 miles from the farm. That's a bit of a haul. Sure is nice in Indiana I could take the tandem IH into town only about 5-6 miles away to Wilson's grain and drop a load of corn, turn and burn and be back to the farm. Now with the semi, I could make a run and leave the BIL with an empty combine and auger cart staged on the end of the field, and if there wasn't anybody in line be back just as he was filling the combine after filling the cart. He'd have the cart heaped and dump it on the hopper bottom as he was dumping the combine, he'd go back to combining and I'd circle back once the cart was emptied out, take a load off the combine which he'd be about full by the time I got finished at the truck and started chasing him, take that load off the combine, stick it in the truck, stage the cart next to where he was picking, climb down, roll the tarp, hop in, and turn and burn with the semi... even if there was a truck or two in line, usually the longest he'd sit in the field was 10-15 minutes. Sure beats my old '56 Ford grain truck and later the '66 Chevy! I like that pickup with the lift bed and gravity box... that's a good setup for doing it cheap yourself. Think you'll like the bigger truck though. That box van should be WAY lighter than a grain bed and hoist, BUT, here's the kicker-- If it's like Indiana, you buy the plate for what you plan to haul... anything over that and you're overloaded. OF course the more weight you put on the plate, the more you can haul without being overloaded. The BIL's IH tandem had a 600 bushel box, filled to the brim and into the corners, so he tagged it at 56,000, which you're allowed 2,000 over so 58,000 gross. Thing was, it was an old mine/logging truck, DT-466 with a 15 speed with granny gear. Basically you never shifted into low range because you'd literally shift five times before you got to the end of the driveway, 3 of them being within the length of the truck itself. The twin-screw tandems were all the way at the back of the box, and while it had the heavy duty 14,000 lb front axle, he was running regular 22.50 semi steer tires on the front, instead of the wider, heavier-rated "super singles" on the front like concrete mixer trucks often have. SO it carried a LOT of weight on the front axle. Well, as it was, we were finishing up a bean field and managed to cram it all in there, since it was the last field and threatening rain, my nephew climbed up in the box and shoveled into the corners... we couldn't have put another bean on that truck without it rolling off LOL:) Rolled the tarp and called it a night. Next day I had to run it out to his son-in-law's family farm, since they're a receiving site for the Plenish soybeans (GMO to make soybean frying oil that doesn't need hydrogenation). Anyway, I get stopped by an Indiana state patrol. First time I was ever weighed-- he didn't blink at my Texas license (I have a class B CDL for driving a school bus, but didn't need a CDL anyway since it was plated as a farm truck). Anyway, it was legal on the back tandems, but the front axle was overloaded for the tires on it... He told me if it was tagged as commercial I'd have been "out of service" (parked until it was shoveled off to the legal front axle weight) but since it was a farm plate he told me go on and be careful... he stopped me because the tires looked "a little baggy" which given the weight made sense LOL:) The old DT-466 and "ten speed" twin screw handled the weight just fine, no problems there... just took me about 3 miles to actually get up to highway speed. The N-series Cummins (855 cubic inches) with a ten speed twin screw setup can get 1000 bushels plus the truck and trailer up to 55 SO much faster you couldn't believe it... Just SO much nicer, but I sure liked that old tandem too.. sure was better than anything we ever had! Later! OL J R :)
I am late watching this video but one thing to consider is some states wont let you plate a truck without a bed or body on it. Might be less of a headache just to plate it with the body thats on it now and then have the flexability to drive it where you need it.
OK, I'm not a farmer but a retired elevator mechanic. No, not hat kind, the kind that moves people. LOL Antway tell us city guys a little about the corn. You plow the field, plant the corn. harvest the corn and put it in storage bins. Then what? Use it as feed for the cows ? Then what's left over before it gets too old you sell it to the elevator people and what do the use it for and why does the moisture content factor in other then it will wiegh more. Thanks, Bob.
We mix our own feed for the cows and chickens. The extra is sold, the elevator that I sold the corn to will grind most of it for feed. They make bagged feed and they sell bulk truck loads too. The corn is not too old, but moisture and warm weather do not mix for safe storage. Above 15% corn can develop hot spots where the grain will spoil, the cool winter temps are like a refrigerator to slow that process, but once spring hits, all bets are off. Also, warm weather supports weevil growth, which eat center of the kernels out. Price highs happen usually during planting because the farmers are too busy to bring grain to market.
I used to love taking grain to town with the tractor when the elevators were in town but after they closed up and I had to take it to Clarksville I got truck to haul with, Just not the same ! There will be a good difference in weight between the box bed and a grain bed but you really need to bed on before you weigh it for tags. Last time I got tags for the Dodge dump it was $139 for it weighing at 10800 lbs but it been a few years ago sense it was taged. Bandit
I would give anything to haul grain to Clarksville again. This whole big truck ownership thing is snow balling more than I hoped, makes me very ok with tugging wagons around and making other vehicles mad.
It wasn't a bad drive to get there but that last hill going down it could get a little tricky ! When they were working on that bridge and had it down to one lane I came down the hill pulling that big center dump wagon and they stopped traffic and I dang near couldn't get it stopped ! I really didn't stop it was pushing me down hill with 4 brakes locked and the sound of tires squaling on the pavement got there attention and stop traffic and let me go on down the hill, Like they had a choice ! LOL I wanted that wagon behind the Dodge dump truck so I had 550 bu going to Clarksville at one time , But I never got the hitch on the back of it and Jim stopped buying grain so I have lots of wagons now to hold grain till I can get a truck in to haul it out. One of these days I got to get a grain bin ! Bandit
It interests me to watch these smaller farms down in the states. I farm up in Canada (Saskatchewan) and we farm a little over 9000 acres, which is a pretty standard size. We haul all our grain with two sets of super b trailers, and typically get 2000 bushels on per load or so. Quite a difference in the way things are set up here compared to there
Boehm Farm we live fairly far north where we start seeing a lot of lakes and natural bush, but not very far south there is very little trees and very few hills. You can see for miles. I am just curious, what's land prices like down there per acre?
Boehm Farm yah, I see how that makes it hard for farms to expand. Around here land is anywhere between 1800 to 2100 dollars to the acre, depending on quality. That is quite a bit up for about 1000 per acre just over a decade ago
Yes I have thought about that, but I really want the versatility of hauling hay with it, then I'd have to put a flat bed under the gravity boxes, which wouldn't save me much over a hoist and grain sides.
I have a 6500 bushel Stormore bin with good floor and 8 inch unload that needs a home so let me know if you can use it... Be careful on getting your big truck weighed since a grain bed is going to make your empty weight heavier so dont sell yourself short thinking lighter plate is cheaper when your most likely going to be over weight for the plate and the fines are not so cheap lol
At the moment, I do not need the bin, just the flooring material. Would you sell only the floor? When the grain bed goes on, we will be removing about 5' of frame from the truck.
I tested it going in the bin at harvest. However, i think my little dickey john moisture tester is bit off. It always comes back a point less than the elevator results.
Looking good, In regards to the haulage, you guys in the us are lucky to be able to run goose neck trailers, have you considered a goose neck Grain trailer, and maybe a flat one for machinery / Hay
I have wishfully looked at them, and Brad really wants a flatbed goose neck, but I am afraid it is too new of a concept (I use forty year old tractors, I don't know if forty year old trailers are even out there.) such that the price will be prohibitive; there is not enough used trailers on the market to dampen the price. So that is why I bough the big white box truck.
That is a great question. My best guess is that a heavier vehicle will do more harm to the road, so plates are a tax based on use. They truck will 'use" the road more than a passenger car.
where in the usa did you find a elevator that would accept 17% corn? around here can't be over 15.9% and nothing under 14% or they boot you out and ethanol/butane plants only do contracts now. it's gotten hard to make $3 corn these days
jasonmushersee Here in SE MN, the elevators will take that wet corn, they aren't saints though, they dock they pay, I'm sure they make it to be in their favor. 😕
This elevator sells most of their corn as feed, so they are making a value added product which will be consumed in a couple months rather than waiting in railcars and barges for months.
@@boehmfarm4276 Yeah need to get that drying floor set up soon as you can... that would help immensely... You can always pull samples and run it in for THEM to test and compare with your own moisture meters, and then put the air to it and dry it down... Maybe even get you a dryer at some point, though South Sask Farmer just runs a salamander heater or torpedo heater (whatever you call it in your area) with a duct up to the fan intake on his bin fan to blow hot air into the grain... set it far enough away that it's getting SOME cool air and doesn't burn up the fan motor blowing into the bin. Seems to work for him. Another trick they do is "turn bins" by loading the grain out of one bin and dumping it into another, to keep the grain from heating and help it dry down... the mixing of augering it out of the bin into the truck, then out of the truck back into the bin, stirs it up and helps it dry and not heat. Later! OL J R :)
Does that International have a foot accelerator pedal ? If not just rig and make one, saves having to use the hand throttle when changing up or down gear. But that's my thinking, I'm not expecting anyone else sharing my opinion. Just subscribed to your channel by the way. Liking it. 👍
The people asking why you slap the throttle have never driven an older IH tractor. It's how you/anyone and everyone does it. I'm surprised it's not in the operating manual.
No contract needed, but contracts made at the right time of year child get you a higher price, or screw you over if you don't have enough grain to meet the contract.
@@boehmfarm4276 Trick is never contract more than half your normal grain production. Yeah shorting a contract or having to buy it out gets expensive and you can take it in the shorts. That's what was nice about cotton contracts... they're ACREAGE contracts NOT pounds or bushels or bales like grain contracts are... so I could contract ALL my acreage and sell it all whether I made 50 bales or 80 bales under the same contract for the same guaranteed price... makes it easy. Course even then I usually didn't contract more than about 75% of the crop, maximum... always good to leave yourself some "wiggle room" because if the price goes up, that hurts when you're getting paid say 65 cents a pound that you contracted it for, when cotton that wasn't contracted was selling for 70 cents or more... usually if I could get 70 cents a pound I'd contract about half the crop. Anything below that usually didn't interest me much... best I ever did was about 80 cents a pound IIRC, one year sold the entire crop at 76 cents a pound on contract, sure was happy that fall because by start of harvest it was 62 cents and end of harvest it was down to 58 cents... Worst I ever did was selling half the crop at about 68 cents and then at harvest it rallied up to about 70-72 cents, but I still made half that back on the half the crop that I DIDN'T contract... Yeah grain contracts, I was always leery of them... heard too many stories of guys coming up short. BUT if you have the bushels in the bin, well, it's a viable option... and as long as you're pretty certain you'll make at least half a crop, you can sell half of what you normally produce if you can get a good contract without much risk. Later! OL J R :)
I was making plans to do that last summer, and then over winter and this spring, but then i bought the box truck and someone else will probably have to get it running.
You live in Wilmington Ohio my grandma lives there too. She lives pretty close to Clinton Massey on hale road do you know the Webb’s they farm and they also have a construction Business called WFEC. What part of Wilmington do you live in. I was so excited and surprised when I seen the new CVS and the grain elevator we always go by that way when we go to town. !!!!!!!
@@boehmfarm4276 Oh, that's how that works, I thought it was more complicated, thank you! I've been trying to figure that out for almost 5 months now. And thanks again!!!
@@southernwulf530 Depends how you sell your grain. They have something at the elevator my BIL uses called "DP" (delayed pricing) where he can make a call and basically lock in a price, effectively "selling the grain" They also have a feed plant so he can book part of his corn into the feed plant, however many bushels he thinks he'll need, and then it's deducted from his "booked corn" whenever he picks up a load of feed... that way all he's paying for is grinding, supplements and mixing, and bagging since he gets it in 50 pound bags. Saves a lot of cost. Then there's grain contracts which you can sell part of your crop during the growing season or even in the fall if the futures prices are good for spring delivery. Main thing with contracts is, a SMART farmer never contracts more than about 50-60% of his crop, so that IF there's a disaster (like drought or a hailstorm or wind knocks the corn down and a lot is lost) he doesn't have to "buy out the contract" and end up buying corn, usually at higher cost, to fulfill the contract, or having to pay off the unfulfilled contract, which is expensive. You want to make SURE that whatever you sell on contract, you can deliver at the end of the year. Even if you make a half a crop, if you only contract 50% of your normal production, you should be able to fill the contract without problems. Contracts can offer you some better pricing opportunities, but you also have to look at delivery dates and storage issues, trucking, etc. to really see how it works out and if it's worth the trouble. Most Midwest farms have grain bins, not so down in Texas, only big farmers have bins down here, so most grain is sold right out of the field. Most of the stuff grown in our area goes straight to the elevators on the Houston Ship Channel or Port of Houston/Port of Galveston and straight into the belly of ships heading for Mexico or overseas. Even the elevator I delivered to with my dinky grain barge trailer or '66 Chevy grain truck, the grain went into a semi and to the port. Basically when you go to the elevator, they sample your load and run it through a tester that of course reads out the moisture (to calculate shrink, since if you deliver corn at 18% and they dry it to 15%, it will weigh 3% less than it did, since that water was removed from it to the atmosphere... all that adds up! Been more than a few elevators go broke from screwing up shrinkage, or crooked guys working for the owner screwing them out of money by intentionally messing up the shrink and selling the excess grain and putting the money in their own pockets... one guy we knew ended up in prison over that! Anyway, they also look for damage (cracked grain, insect damage, mold, etc) and for foreign matter like excess chaff, weed seeds, bits of cob or stems or pods or glumes or other plant bits. A certain amount of FM is allowed, as is a certain amount of damage, but EXCESS FM or damage will get you docked in price. They also look at the test weight, which is a measure of how dense the grain is compared to "normal" standard bushel weights... which varies from one type of grain to another, with corn being 56 pounds per bushel, soybeans 60 pounds per bushel, grain sorghum 56 pounds per bushels (though grain sorghum is sold in hundredweights (cwt) rather than bushels). and so on. Light grain can be docked at some point, or adjusted down in "dry bushels" to account for the lighter grain weight. Then it's unloaded and it's all pretty much dumped in the same bin anyway... "wet corn" straight out of the field at anywhere from about 25% on down goes into a "wet bin" which is usually feeding into a continuous dryer, and from there once it's dried down to around 15% into a regular "dry corn bin". Same pretty much with everything else. A lot of times they just blend it off and call it good... so long as the corn is dry enough to store without heating and spoiling or molding. By the time the layers of grain from different farms and different moistures is mixed by the augers unloading the bin, it's all blended out anyway usually. A semi load of grain in a REALLY BIG bin typical of those found at elevators may only make a layer of grain in the bin a few inches thick anyway LOL:) Smaller wagons/trucks even less... Anyway, once the corn is in the elevator's bin, you weigh out at the scale and the difference between loaded weight and empty weight (tare) is how many bushels you hauled in, adjusted for moisture to "dry bushels" (versus "wet bushels" if your moisture is higher than "standard" moisture levels). This goes into their system and is what you're paid on, when you decide how to sell your grain. You can sell straight across the scale, whatever the price is whenever it's delivered (that day anyway), or you can "DP" if the elevator offers that, or sell it under contract if you have a contract. DP means you can hold onto the ownership of the grain for a predetermined amount of time without selling it, if you think a better price is coming before storage charges start accruing against the grain. When you're ready to sell make a call and they cut you a check based on the price when you call. Easy way to pick up a little extra money, few cents anyway, from price moves. BUT it's usually a short term thing. Grain in the elevator that isn't sold TO the elevator is charged storage charges after a preset amount of time and that can start adding up quickly, which is why most farmers in the Midwest have their own grain bins... cost money to put them up and keep them in good shape and to blow air or dry the grain in the bin and check on it and keep it in good condition, BUT, it's cheaper than drying and storage at the elevator in most cases... For awhile there anything under 23% moisture my BIL was having me haul straight to town-- the drying costs at the elevator were cheaper than he could buy the propane and run his own bin fan/dryer. Course that changed a few years ago. Hope that clears up a few things for you! OL J R :)
you can look that up at any time, as it varies considerably. Prices for grains (and other "commodities" are set by the large "boards of trade" like the stock market, but for actual products like corn, cotton, soybeans, wheat, etc. Just look up the "futures" prices for any particular day, there's tons of websites which show the current prices. The biggest price setters are the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), the Kansas City Board of Trade (KCBOT) , and for cotton (and lots of other things) the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYME). Basically it's all those screaming speculators and stock brokers setting the prices and taking side bets (speculating) on whether it's going to go up or down, based on many factors. Trying to outguess the prices is about like shooting craps in Vegas, which is basically what the BOT's are... gambling dens that determine what our crops and livestock are actually "worth" at any given time. We're just stuck with it... OL J R :)
Jacob i see you have a " Rural King" shirt on , have you tried had a look at they're tractors ? If you have I'm wondering what you think of them ? thanks love the vids .
I have not seen one in person, and you get what you pay for. I a sneaky suspicion they are foreign made, and if you play on keeping the machine, what will be parts availability in five years?
Don't walk RUN from them Kioti and other off-brand tractors... parts and service will be NIL in a few years and then you've got nothing but a HUGE mess on your hands. You DEFINITELY get what you pay for and you're better off with something a local dealer is selling, or an older major brand tractor that the companies still back up with parts support, or you can get parts from salvage companies or whatever. My old man started talking about buying a side-by-side ATV to haul his trash and fart around the farm... Well, he TALKED about a lot of things but DOING was something else... BUT I told him, "okay, when you want to get one, I'll take you over to Richmond EZ-GO, and we can look at a used "Workmaster" or other golf cart type rig (since I KNEW he didn't want to spend the money for a "Mule" or "Gator" or "Ranger" or anything like that-- EZ-GO Workmasters can do about as much for WAY WAY less cost than a full fledged name brand ATV type utility vehicle... They can't pull QUITE as much or carry QUITE as much, but if I need to pull or haul THAT much I'll use a tractor or truck ANYWAY...) Next thing I know, he's calling me on the phone one day to bring the tractor and loader down to his house... He went online without saying anything and bought some CHINESE POS "stomper" golf cart clone thing off the internet, and they were delivering it off a common carrier truck. He had a pallet jack and a Tommy lift, so we had to haul the crate from the highway to the house. I get there pick the thing up haul it to his house and uncrate it... I was livid because I KNOW that the parts support is ZILCH on that junk and he was happy because he "only spent $4,000 on it" and I was like "yeah we'll see how happy you are in a year or two! You could have bought a GOOD used Workmaster that the golf cart place carries ALL the parts for and can even do all the service on it if it needs it and my brother or I can't or don't have time-- where are you gonna get parts or service for this POS??" He was PO'd at me so I uncrated the thing and left. Sure enough, it ran for about 6 months and started giving trouble, my brother and I did everything we could to fix it and it sat more than it ran. It sat about a year or so and he called around and wanted me to haul it to a mechanic. Local tractor dealer in town selling and working on Mules wouldn't touch it, he finally found some guy fixing up old ones and selling them willing to work on it, til I got to his place and he told me flat out after looking at it "I don't even want that thing on the place!" SO I called the old man and gave him an earful... he called another place and the guy said, "bring it over I'll see what I can do." He had it for about 2-3 months and finally called us "got it going as best I could" and told us basically crank it up, it'll take about 15 time before it'll finally run and keep running but DO NOT get on it and drive it, if it stalls you're done for hours til it cools off COMPLETELY. Leave it idling for about 10-15 minutes to warm up COMPLETELY, THEN you can drive it... SO we did what he said and it "sorta" ran until one day my daughter and I were out checking fence and I started feeling stinging on my back and butt and thought I had fire ants or wasps after me-- turns out the clutch was liquefying and it was throwing a spray of molten aluminum or pot metal on by back and butt... we had to tow the piece of junk back to the farm. I gave it to my daughter's boyfriend for some work he helped us with... my brother had searched online for parts for MONTHS to no avail. The boyfriend has a buddy that's grafting the guts of an old four wheeler that all the body work and front end was shot in under the back of it in place of the cheap Chinese engine/transmission it had... Now imagine the same thing with a $10,000+ tractor and you get the idea.... OL J R :)
The tags ? Farmers are exempt ? If you don't have backhaul ,you don't need tag to cover gross weight , just vehicle weight . You can haul grain off the farm , but can't bring product back , lime fertilizer seed and so on . So we get a little heavier tag and do this . It is an expense so you can deduct it from taxes . Just keep on trucking
Just Remembered Last year HOW FARMS WORK took an old EZ TRAIL Gravity wagon to the Junk yard . The box Without the Running gear which they Retained was 1100 lbs . Ps don't know the bushel capacity . But if you want to look it's a short clip called EZ Trail Meets Junkyard
I know a man here in Ashland county Ohio who has a grain bin company well he sells bins and augers and puts up bins now and used anyway I can give you his number if you want he can get your the floors man that farms my grandparents gets stuff from him all time for bins
Boehm Farm forget his name but family owned company name of company is s&s agri builders Fax 419-289-9564 Main 419-281-2181 They also have Facebook page they can get you what you need they build and sell bins dryers augers and anything else for grain storage drying
Hi Jacob , a couple of years ago I took a 20ft GRP ( thats Glass Reinforced Plastic) very Simlar to yours off a truck that I was scraping . The Body weight was 3150 lbs . What happend to the Foot throttle on the IH Did it Fall off ??bet those Chicks were born deaf !!!! And their first words were WTF!!! Thanks for the video, as ever good content.
Interesting to see the changes over the years, this came up as a suggestion today.
Thank you Jacob for sharing. Again you do great with maximizing with the resources you have to work with.
Thank you
Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed seeing how things work at elevator.
Yeah those semi-load pits sure are nice... nephew's family farm has one, you just pull in, hit the button, crank the doors, and let her rip. The thing even has load sensing (amp sensing) on the electric motors, it can tell when the pit is empty and turns itself off! Shut the doors and hit the scale and let it do it's thing! OL J R :)
Nice man! Elevator looks fun!
Yeah, your exactly right on the throttle adjustments, little taps are easier to do small changes.
If it had a rail like a Magnum, it's easier to wrap a pinky around and use that as leverage.
I don't have a magnum, so I wouldn't know.
Boehm Farm , yeah I've only run other people's. 7000 and especially 8000 series are nice.
I'd love to own one someday, 8910 or 8920.
That's not too bad of a trip... our closest sale/delivery point is the egg farm (Maxim Egg Farm) the other side of the next town over, Boling... it's 13 miles from the Needville farm. Next closest elevator after that is Hungerford Grain, which is 23 miles from the farm. That's a bit of a haul. Sure is nice in Indiana I could take the tandem IH into town only about 5-6 miles away to Wilson's grain and drop a load of corn, turn and burn and be back to the farm. Now with the semi, I could make a run and leave the BIL with an empty combine and auger cart staged on the end of the field, and if there wasn't anybody in line be back just as he was filling the combine after filling the cart. He'd have the cart heaped and dump it on the hopper bottom as he was dumping the combine, he'd go back to combining and I'd circle back once the cart was emptied out, take a load off the combine which he'd be about full by the time I got finished at the truck and started chasing him, take that load off the combine, stick it in the truck, stage the cart next to where he was picking, climb down, roll the tarp, hop in, and turn and burn with the semi... even if there was a truck or two in line, usually the longest he'd sit in the field was 10-15 minutes. Sure beats my old '56 Ford grain truck and later the '66 Chevy!
I like that pickup with the lift bed and gravity box... that's a good setup for doing it cheap yourself. Think you'll like the bigger truck though. That box van should be WAY lighter than a grain bed and hoist, BUT, here's the kicker-- If it's like Indiana, you buy the plate for what you plan to haul... anything over that and you're overloaded. OF course the more weight you put on the plate, the more you can haul without being overloaded. The BIL's IH tandem had a 600 bushel box, filled to the brim and into the corners, so he tagged it at 56,000, which you're allowed 2,000 over so 58,000 gross. Thing was, it was an old mine/logging truck, DT-466 with a 15 speed with granny gear. Basically you never shifted into low range because you'd literally shift five times before you got to the end of the driveway, 3 of them being within the length of the truck itself. The twin-screw tandems were all the way at the back of the box, and while it had the heavy duty 14,000 lb front axle, he was running regular 22.50 semi steer tires on the front, instead of the wider, heavier-rated "super singles" on the front like concrete mixer trucks often have. SO it carried a LOT of weight on the front axle. Well, as it was, we were finishing up a bean field and managed to cram it all in there, since it was the last field and threatening rain, my nephew climbed up in the box and shoveled into the corners... we couldn't have put another bean on that truck without it rolling off LOL:) Rolled the tarp and called it a night. Next day I had to run it out to his son-in-law's family farm, since they're a receiving site for the Plenish soybeans (GMO to make soybean frying oil that doesn't need hydrogenation). Anyway, I get stopped by an Indiana state patrol. First time I was ever weighed-- he didn't blink at my Texas license (I have a class B CDL for driving a school bus, but didn't need a CDL anyway since it was plated as a farm truck). Anyway, it was legal on the back tandems, but the front axle was overloaded for the tires on it... He told me if it was tagged as commercial I'd have been "out of service" (parked until it was shoveled off to the legal front axle weight) but since it was a farm plate he told me go on and be careful... he stopped me because the tires looked "a little baggy" which given the weight made sense LOL:)
The old DT-466 and "ten speed" twin screw handled the weight just fine, no problems there... just took me about 3 miles to actually get up to highway speed. The N-series Cummins (855 cubic inches) with a ten speed twin screw setup can get 1000 bushels plus the truck and trailer up to 55 SO much faster you couldn't believe it... Just SO much nicer, but I sure liked that old tandem too.. sure was better than anything we ever had! Later! OL J R :)
I am late watching this video but one thing to consider is some states wont let you plate a truck without a bed or body on it. Might be less of a headache just to plate it with the body thats on it now and then have the flexability to drive it where you need it.
those elevators work awesome i use mine all the time
Yes, just like a shirt pocket.
Rural King owes you ✔. Cool video as always!
Definitely, especially because we helped a store manager figure out the seed buying process.
love the videos do more of these! have a great sunday
Thank you
Another great video!
Thank you
Enjoyed your video as always. A little Boehm ingenuity does hurt
Thank you
OK, I'm not a farmer but a retired elevator mechanic. No, not hat kind, the kind that moves people. LOL Antway tell us city guys a little about the corn. You plow the field, plant the corn. harvest the corn and put it in storage bins. Then what? Use it as feed for the cows ? Then what's left over before it gets too old you sell it to the elevator people and what do the use it for and why does the moisture content factor in other then it will wiegh more. Thanks, Bob.
We mix our own feed for the cows and chickens. The extra is sold, the elevator that I sold the corn to will grind most of it for feed. They make bagged feed and they sell bulk truck loads too. The corn is not too old, but moisture and warm weather do not mix for safe storage. Above 15% corn can develop hot spots where the grain will spoil, the cool winter temps are like a refrigerator to slow that process, but once spring hits, all bets are off. Also, warm weather supports weevil growth, which eat center of the kernels out. Price highs happen usually during planting because the farmers are too busy to bring grain to market.
I used to love taking grain to town with the tractor when the elevators were in town but after they closed up and I had to take it to Clarksville I got truck to haul with, Just not the same ! There will be a good difference in weight between the box bed and a grain bed but you really need to bed on before you weigh it for tags. Last time I got tags for the Dodge dump it was $139 for it weighing at 10800 lbs but it been a few years ago sense it was taged. Bandit
I would give anything to haul grain to Clarksville again. This whole big truck ownership thing is snow balling more than I hoped, makes me very ok with tugging wagons around and making other vehicles mad.
It wasn't a bad drive to get there but that last hill going down it could get a little tricky ! When they were working on that bridge and had it down to one lane I came down the hill pulling that big center dump wagon and they stopped traffic and I dang near couldn't get it stopped ! I really didn't stop it was pushing me down hill with 4 brakes locked and the sound of tires squaling on the pavement got there attention and stop traffic and let me go on down the hill, Like they had a choice ! LOL I wanted that wagon behind the Dodge dump truck so I had 550 bu going to Clarksville at one time , But I never got the hitch on the back of it and Jim stopped buying grain so I have lots of wagons now to hold grain till I can get a truck in to haul it out. One of these days I got to get a grain bin ! Bandit
Check you out pimp. strutting your shit down through town LMAO..😜😜👊👊👊👊👍👍👍👍🤙🤙😎
It interests me to watch these smaller farms down in the states. I farm up in Canada (Saskatchewan) and we farm a little over 9000 acres, which is a pretty standard size. We haul all our grain with two sets of super b trailers, and typically get 2000 bushels on per load or so. Quite a difference in the way things are set up here compared to there
There's wide open spaces in the western US, landscape restrictions really dictate farm size.
Boehm Farm we live fairly far north where we start seeing a lot of lakes and natural bush, but not very far south there is very little trees and very few hills. You can see for miles. I am just curious, what's land prices like down there per acre?
Sadly tillable land has edged well into the 4-5000 range. 70 miles north of us, 5000 is great bottom dollar deal.
Boehm Farm yah, I see how that makes it hard for farms to expand. Around here land is anywhere between 1800 to 2100 dollars to the acre, depending on quality. That is quite a bit up for about 1000 per acre just over a decade ago
We haven't seen $1000 per acre since the 80s.
Mounting a couple gravity box's on the frame of that big truck would be a cheap alternative to a box and hoist!
Yes I have thought about that, but I really want the versatility of hauling hay with it, then I'd have to put a flat bed under the gravity boxes, which wouldn't save me much over a hoist and grain sides.
I have a 6500 bushel Stormore bin with good floor and 8 inch unload that needs a home so let me know if you can use it... Be careful on getting your big truck weighed since a grain bed is going to make your empty weight heavier so dont sell yourself short thinking lighter plate is cheaper when your most likely going to be over weight for the plate and the fines are not so cheap lol
At the moment, I do not need the bin, just the flooring material. Would you sell only the floor?
When the grain bed goes on, we will be removing about 5' of frame from the truck.
Boehm Farm would have to know what your bin diameter is before anything else since yours look bigger around
My bins are 27'
my brother brought in a load to a grain elevator this week of corn and there was a guy that brought a load that was just over 30% moisture
Some Boehm ingenuity at its best haha
Thank you
I do the same thing with the hand throttles for years. Just easier on the go. Wondering if did a test on the moisture level ?
I tested it going in the bin at harvest. However, i think my little dickey john moisture tester is bit off. It always comes back a point less than the elevator results.
Our farmalls and international s we didn’t have to slap the throttles. Do you jump up and down on your truck accelerator?
Looking good,
In regards to the haulage, you guys in the us are lucky to be able to run goose neck trailers, have you considered a goose neck Grain trailer, and maybe a flat one for machinery / Hay
I have wishfully looked at them, and Brad really wants a flatbed goose neck, but I am afraid it is too new of a concept (I use forty year old tractors, I don't know if forty year old trailers are even out there.) such that the price will be prohibitive; there is not enough used trailers on the market to dampen the price. So that is why I bough the big white box truck.
Why would they want an empty weight on the truck before you get plates?
That is a great question. My best guess is that a heavier vehicle will do more harm to the road, so plates are a tax based on use. They truck will 'use" the road more than a passenger car.
get a piece of angle iron to put on each side of the pour from the old box to stop the grain from bouncing off the tongue of the gravwagon
Elevator doesn't dock for the mess I make.
@@boehmfarm4276 yeah, that's what the brooms are for.
I understand “the slap” I have to do that on my JD 4020
where in the usa did you find a elevator that would accept 17% corn? around here can't be over 15.9% and nothing under 14% or they boot you out and ethanol/butane plants only do contracts now. it's gotten hard to make $3 corn these days
jasonmushersee
Here in SE MN, the elevators will take that wet corn, they aren't saints though, they dock they pay, I'm sure they make it to be in their favor. 😕
This elevator sells most of their corn as feed, so they are making a value added product which will be consumed in a couple months rather than waiting in railcars and barges for months.
@@boehmfarm4276 Yeah need to get that drying floor set up soon as you can... that would help immensely... You can always pull samples and run it in for THEM to test and compare with your own moisture meters, and then put the air to it and dry it down... Maybe even get you a dryer at some point, though South Sask Farmer just runs a salamander heater or torpedo heater (whatever you call it in your area) with a duct up to the fan intake on his bin fan to blow hot air into the grain... set it far enough away that it's getting SOME cool air and doesn't burn up the fan motor blowing into the bin. Seems to work for him. Another trick they do is "turn bins" by loading the grain out of one bin and dumping it into another, to keep the grain from heating and help it dry down... the mixing of augering it out of the bin into the truck, then out of the truck back into the bin, stirs it up and helps it dry and not heat. Later! OL J R :)
Hope you get good price and cash quick
Compared to harvest, the price is good.
Just move the auger on the other bin just in case the corn tips out
nice rides, thanks.
There is a kids nickname called The Great Bean
What is the price difference between selling now, and if you had sold it straight from the field?
A solid thirty cents.
Does that International have a foot accelerator pedal ? If not just rig and make one, saves having to use the hand throttle when changing up or down gear. But that's my thinking, I'm not expecting anyone else sharing my opinion. Just subscribed to your channel by the way. Liking it. 👍
I really wish it had a foot throttle, but for some reason, IH didn't push that. I love the foot throttle on our Fords.
Have you got a machine tour around video? I ike the Hydro International. 👍
Not yet, I shall make on for 1o.000.
@@boehmfarm4276 10000 lol I'm new here haha but I see 19k and still no equipment tour
What does the door tag say about GVW? Should tell you spring capacity. I bet it may surprise you.
The axles combined are good for 30,000. I didn't have a weight in mind, but I had hopes for 400 bushel.
I wasn’t staring I was admiring
The people asking why you slap the throttle have never driven an older IH tractor. It's how you/anyone and everyone does it. I'm surprised it's not in the operating manual.
Isn't it a little more efficient just taking the truck and one big wagon? Faster, not wearing those expensive tires.
Update, I see your description basically says the same lol
So what someone grows corn and can sell ot to a elevator or similar?
Do you have to have a contract with them?
No contract needed, but contracts made at the right time of year child get you a higher price, or screw you over if you don't have enough grain to meet the contract.
@@boehmfarm4276 Trick is never contract more than half your normal grain production. Yeah shorting a contract or having to buy it out gets expensive and you can take it in the shorts. That's what was nice about cotton contracts... they're ACREAGE contracts NOT pounds or bushels or bales like grain contracts are... so I could contract ALL my acreage and sell it all whether I made 50 bales or 80 bales under the same contract for the same guaranteed price... makes it easy. Course even then I usually didn't contract more than about 75% of the crop, maximum... always good to leave yourself some "wiggle room" because if the price goes up, that hurts when you're getting paid say 65 cents a pound that you contracted it for, when cotton that wasn't contracted was selling for 70 cents or more... usually if I could get 70 cents a pound I'd contract about half the crop. Anything below that usually didn't interest me much... best I ever did was about 80 cents a pound IIRC, one year sold the entire crop at 76 cents a pound on contract, sure was happy that fall because by start of harvest it was 62 cents and end of harvest it was down to 58 cents... Worst I ever did was selling half the crop at about 68 cents and then at harvest it rallied up to about 70-72 cents, but I still made half that back on the half the crop that I DIDN'T contract...
Yeah grain contracts, I was always leery of them... heard too many stories of guys coming up short. BUT if you have the bushels in the bin, well, it's a viable option... and as long as you're pretty certain you'll make at least half a crop, you can sell half of what you normally produce if you can get a good contract without much risk. Later! OL J R :)
Have you and your dad considered getting the graintruck going again?
I was making plans to do that last summer, and then over winter and this spring, but then i bought the box truck and someone else will probably have to get it running.
Have you thought about scraping it?
Nope
👍👌🇨🇦❤
Is that the new to you cab on the 1466
Unfortunately, no, the cab swap has been postponed until next winter. Too many other more needed repairs still to do.
From 1:35 to 1:48 sound like V1 Rocket :D
Yep, the straight pipe makes the tractor loud!
You live in Wilmington Ohio my grandma lives there too. She lives pretty close to Clinton Massey on hale road do you know the Webb’s they farm and they also have a construction Business called WFEC. What part of Wilmington do you live in. I was so excited and surprised when I seen the new CVS and the grain elevator we always go by that way when we go to town. !!!!!!!
We are 17 miles south of Wilmington, between Fayetteville and Blanchester I know where Hale Rd is, and Webbs in that area ring a bell.
Yea I think so
My question is, is what happens after you get the tickets, I'm wanting to get into farming my self, cuz I'm a bit curious?
I usually wait a few days and thengo back toget a check.
@@boehmfarm4276 Oh, that's how that works, I thought it was more complicated, thank you! I've been trying to figure that out for almost 5 months now. And thanks again!!!
@@southernwulf530 Depends how you sell your grain. They have something at the elevator my BIL uses called "DP" (delayed pricing) where he can make a call and basically lock in a price, effectively "selling the grain" They also have a feed plant so he can book part of his corn into the feed plant, however many bushels he thinks he'll need, and then it's deducted from his "booked corn" whenever he picks up a load of feed... that way all he's paying for is grinding, supplements and mixing, and bagging since he gets it in 50 pound bags. Saves a lot of cost. Then there's grain contracts which you can sell part of your crop during the growing season or even in the fall if the futures prices are good for spring delivery. Main thing with contracts is, a SMART farmer never contracts more than about 50-60% of his crop, so that IF there's a disaster (like drought or a hailstorm or wind knocks the corn down and a lot is lost) he doesn't have to "buy out the contract" and end up buying corn, usually at higher cost, to fulfill the contract, or having to pay off the unfulfilled contract, which is expensive. You want to make SURE that whatever you sell on contract, you can deliver at the end of the year. Even if you make a half a crop, if you only contract 50% of your normal production, you should be able to fill the contract without problems. Contracts can offer you some better pricing opportunities, but you also have to look at delivery dates and storage issues, trucking, etc. to really see how it works out and if it's worth the trouble. Most Midwest farms have grain bins, not so down in Texas, only big farmers have bins down here, so most grain is sold right out of the field. Most of the stuff grown in our area goes straight to the elevators on the Houston Ship Channel or Port of Houston/Port of Galveston and straight into the belly of ships heading for Mexico or overseas. Even the elevator I delivered to with my dinky grain barge trailer or '66 Chevy grain truck, the grain went into a semi and to the port.
Basically when you go to the elevator, they sample your load and run it through a tester that of course reads out the moisture (to calculate shrink, since if you deliver corn at 18% and they dry it to 15%, it will weigh 3% less than it did, since that water was removed from it to the atmosphere... all that adds up! Been more than a few elevators go broke from screwing up shrinkage, or crooked guys working for the owner screwing them out of money by intentionally messing up the shrink and selling the excess grain and putting the money in their own pockets... one guy we knew ended up in prison over that! Anyway, they also look for damage (cracked grain, insect damage, mold, etc) and for foreign matter like excess chaff, weed seeds, bits of cob or stems or pods or glumes or other plant bits. A certain amount of FM is allowed, as is a certain amount of damage, but EXCESS FM or damage will get you docked in price. They also look at the test weight, which is a measure of how dense the grain is compared to "normal" standard bushel weights... which varies from one type of grain to another, with corn being 56 pounds per bushel, soybeans 60 pounds per bushel, grain sorghum 56 pounds per bushels (though grain sorghum is sold in hundredweights (cwt) rather than bushels). and so on. Light grain can be docked at some point, or adjusted down in "dry bushels" to account for the lighter grain weight. Then it's unloaded and it's all pretty much dumped in the same bin anyway... "wet corn" straight out of the field at anywhere from about 25% on down goes into a "wet bin" which is usually feeding into a continuous dryer, and from there once it's dried down to around 15% into a regular "dry corn bin". Same pretty much with everything else. A lot of times they just blend it off and call it good... so long as the corn is dry enough to store without heating and spoiling or molding. By the time the layers of grain from different farms and different moistures is mixed by the augers unloading the bin, it's all blended out anyway usually. A semi load of grain in a REALLY BIG bin typical of those found at elevators may only make a layer of grain in the bin a few inches thick anyway LOL:) Smaller wagons/trucks even less...
Anyway, once the corn is in the elevator's bin, you weigh out at the scale and the difference between loaded weight and empty weight (tare) is how many bushels you hauled in, adjusted for moisture to "dry bushels" (versus "wet bushels" if your moisture is higher than "standard" moisture levels). This goes into their system and is what you're paid on, when you decide how to sell your grain. You can sell straight across the scale, whatever the price is whenever it's delivered (that day anyway), or you can "DP" if the elevator offers that, or sell it under contract if you have a contract. DP means you can hold onto the ownership of the grain for a predetermined amount of time without selling it, if you think a better price is coming before storage charges start accruing against the grain. When you're ready to sell make a call and they cut you a check based on the price when you call. Easy way to pick up a little extra money, few cents anyway, from price moves. BUT it's usually a short term thing. Grain in the elevator that isn't sold TO the elevator is charged storage charges after a preset amount of time and that can start adding up quickly, which is why most farmers in the Midwest have their own grain bins... cost money to put them up and keep them in good shape and to blow air or dry the grain in the bin and check on it and keep it in good condition, BUT, it's cheaper than drying and storage at the elevator in most cases... For awhile there anything under 23% moisture my BIL was having me haul straight to town-- the drying costs at the elevator were cheaper than he could buy the propane and run his own bin fan/dryer. Course that changed a few years ago.
Hope that clears up a few things for you! OL J R :)
18% would be good here in ireland
If the corn was frsh from the field, that would be good, but I have stored it for 8 months.
How much does a bushel of corn pay?
Just an average please
you can look that up at any time, as it varies considerably. Prices for grains (and other "commodities" are set by the large "boards of trade" like the stock market, but for actual products like corn, cotton, soybeans, wheat, etc. Just look up the "futures" prices for any particular day, there's tons of websites which show the current prices. The biggest price setters are the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), the Kansas City Board of Trade (KCBOT) , and for cotton (and lots of other things) the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYME).
Basically it's all those screaming speculators and stock brokers setting the prices and taking side bets (speculating) on whether it's going to go up or down, based on many factors. Trying to outguess the prices is about like shooting craps in Vegas, which is basically what the BOT's are... gambling dens that determine what our crops and livestock are actually "worth" at any given time. We're just stuck with it... OL J R :)
when do you used the grain truck you had got
Whenever we get some sunny days to harvest.
Damn no footage of me in that trip ?
Some people are camera shy, so I usually avoid it if possible. But if you want to be a star, we can make something happen. lol
Its a corn storm 🇱🇷
hey there! I don't see a mailing address anywhere??
I at at least have to play a little hard to get ;)
If you search around, it's on our FB page of the same name.
Boehm Farm ah ok! I didn't see any links listed on your youtube site for fb or instagram ;D
The FB goes in a much different direction that the channel, and I hardly can keep up with it.
Jacob i see you have a " Rural King" shirt on , have you tried had a look at they're tractors ? If you have I'm wondering what you think of them ? thanks love the vids .
I have not seen one in person, and you get what you pay for. I a sneaky suspicion they are foreign made, and if you play on keeping the machine, what will be parts availability in five years?
Don't walk RUN from them Kioti and other off-brand tractors... parts and service will be NIL in a few years and then you've got nothing but a HUGE mess on your hands. You DEFINITELY get what you pay for and you're better off with something a local dealer is selling, or an older major brand tractor that the companies still back up with parts support, or you can get parts from salvage companies or whatever.
My old man started talking about buying a side-by-side ATV to haul his trash and fart around the farm... Well, he TALKED about a lot of things but DOING was something else... BUT I told him, "okay, when you want to get one, I'll take you over to Richmond EZ-GO, and we can look at a used "Workmaster" or other golf cart type rig (since I KNEW he didn't want to spend the money for a "Mule" or "Gator" or "Ranger" or anything like that-- EZ-GO Workmasters can do about as much for WAY WAY less cost than a full fledged name brand ATV type utility vehicle... They can't pull QUITE as much or carry QUITE as much, but if I need to pull or haul THAT much I'll use a tractor or truck ANYWAY...)
Next thing I know, he's calling me on the phone one day to bring the tractor and loader down to his house... He went online without saying anything and bought some CHINESE POS "stomper" golf cart clone thing off the internet, and they were delivering it off a common carrier truck. He had a pallet jack and a Tommy lift, so we had to haul the crate from the highway to the house. I get there pick the thing up haul it to his house and uncrate it... I was livid because I KNOW that the parts support is ZILCH on that junk and he was happy because he "only spent $4,000 on it" and I was like "yeah we'll see how happy you are in a year or two! You could have bought a GOOD used Workmaster that the golf cart place carries ALL the parts for and can even do all the service on it if it needs it and my brother or I can't or don't have time-- where are you gonna get parts or service for this POS??" He was PO'd at me so I uncrated the thing and left. Sure enough, it ran for about 6 months and started giving trouble, my brother and I did everything we could to fix it and it sat more than it ran. It sat about a year or so and he called around and wanted me to haul it to a mechanic. Local tractor dealer in town selling and working on Mules wouldn't touch it, he finally found some guy fixing up old ones and selling them willing to work on it, til I got to his place and he told me flat out after looking at it "I don't even want that thing on the place!" SO I called the old man and gave him an earful... he called another place and the guy said, "bring it over I'll see what I can do." He had it for about 2-3 months and finally called us "got it going as best I could" and told us basically crank it up, it'll take about 15 time before it'll finally run and keep running but DO NOT get on it and drive it, if it stalls you're done for hours til it cools off COMPLETELY. Leave it idling for about 10-15 minutes to warm up COMPLETELY, THEN you can drive it... SO we did what he said and it "sorta" ran until one day my daughter and I were out checking fence and I started feeling stinging on my back and butt and thought I had fire ants or wasps after me-- turns out the clutch was liquefying and it was throwing a spray of molten aluminum or pot metal on by back and butt... we had to tow the piece of junk back to the farm. I gave it to my daughter's boyfriend for some work he helped us with... my brother had searched online for parts for MONTHS to no avail. The boyfriend has a buddy that's grafting the guts of an old four wheeler that all the body work and front end was shot in under the back of it in place of the cheap Chinese engine/transmission it had...
Now imagine the same thing with a $10,000+ tractor and you get the idea.... OL J R :)
You guys need a bigger auger
Your throttle technique is typical for Ih guys. Everyone I know that runs 66 series back does that. You’d just have to run one to understand
Dave Dunn I usually reach around the wheel and grasp it at the base
👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🐝
no foot trottle?
Nope...
Man... the do not probe very deep at all. You could get away with a lot there.
You haven't seen the process for beans.
The tags ? Farmers are exempt ? If you don't have backhaul ,you don't need tag to cover gross weight , just vehicle weight . You can haul grain off the farm , but can't bring product back , lime fertilizer seed and so on . So we get a little heavier tag and do this . It is an expense so you can deduct it from taxes . Just keep on trucking
They no longer offer farm plates in Ohio, my options are commercial or non commercial.
Didn't know , thought all states gave farmers brake on licenses . Just keep on farming
Ohio did, but then Hamilton, Franklin, and Cuyahoga counties outnumbered the rest of the state to forget some of our rural upbringing.
I have that tractor but with cade
Yeah you need a truck to haul grain. Too much fuel, wear and tear on tractor and wagons.
All I need to find to convert that bow truck over is a scissor hoist, I have a box picked out.
Make sure you get one that exceeds the weight of the load
Yes, I always like going overkill.
wat state u guys in?

More videos please
Do you rent the farm?
No, I live there.
How much do farmers make
Right now, not much.
Boehm Farm do farmers make money per hour?
??
Just Remembered Last year HOW FARMS WORK took an old EZ TRAIL Gravity wagon to the Junk yard . The box Without the Running gear which they Retained was 1100 lbs . Ps don't know the bushel capacity . But if you want to look it's a short clip called EZ Trail Meets Junkyard
Yep, I saw that. They had a newish looking box that rusted out because they put fertilizer in it.
Where do you live?
What rural King you go to we go to the in Norwalk ohio
There's four that are close enough to us. Lebanon, Hamilton, Xenia and Huber heights. Hamilton is the store I buy corn seed from.
Boehm Farm o never new there where more than 4
They have been spreading like wildfire the last two years. They need to slow a little so new management can learn before they outgrow themselves.
They really do cus then they might go out of business because it is to much money out of there pocket
I wish I had one by me. I’m inAshtabula County in the north east corner of the state. Closest one is in Wooster
I don’t mean to be repetitive but why does it seem you have a ton of stuff just sitting around
I know a man here in Ashland county Ohio who has a grain bin company well he sells bins and augers and puts up bins now and used anyway I can give you his number if you want he can get your the floors man that farms my grandparents gets stuff from him all time for bins
Sounds great!!
Boehm Farm forget his name but family owned company name of company is s&s agri builders

Can you please make a video of feeding the Cows or the Chickens
well, there's a video from last summer of feeding the cows. And an old old on from feeding the chickens.
Thanks
Hi Jacob , a couple of years ago I took a 20ft GRP ( thats Glass Reinforced Plastic) very Simlar to yours off a truck that I was scraping . The Body weight was 3150 lbs . What happend to the Foot throttle on the IH Did it Fall off ??bet those Chicks were born deaf !!!! And their first words were WTF!!! Thanks for the video, as ever good content.
It never had a foot throttle.
Everything is heavier once it hits a scale.
haha, I would say poor birds, but they poop everywhere.
Please make more videos and fast
I am trying. but it high busy planting time.
Where do you live?
