Great job Kelsey, great video. Definitely wear gloves pulling bean stubble out of the header it will rip your hands to pieces. We just got a 35 ft draper head will never go back to the old header type. The lilac flowers are a great touch have a safe rest of the harvest season, and a beautiful week ahead Miss Kelsey 😊.
Sorry for late reply! Thanks so much! :) Appreciate your kind words! Definitely need to wear gloves pulling bean stubble indeed! lol. Awesome to hear about your new Draper head! Congrats! :) I’m glad you are liking it! I would never want to go back to other type either lol. Hope you’re having a great week! :)
@@farmingwithkels5264 Thanks for your reply. It's great 👌👍 to watch different farming operations. It is a special gift 🎁 given to you by the good Lord to get to farm with your dad. My dad, and my grandpa, taught me everything about farming from an early age. Hard work, and learning to deal with good years and bad years. I hope you have a wonderful 👍 Christmas 🌲🎁, and a happy new year Kelsey. I'm looking to diversify our farming operation, I'm thinking 🤔 about getting into goat 🐐 farming. Could you please do an information video about how to get started, and how much it costs. Sorry for the long speech I hope you have a blessed week ahead Kelsey from a fellow farmer further south ⬇️.
New viewer hear and I'll agree on the cutting at an angle. Once the end rows are off I NEVER cut with the rows. But maybe that only works here in southern Indiana.
Hi! :) Sorry for late reply! I appreciate the kind helpful feedback! :) I sometimes cut beans at an angle, field depending. This one was giving me troubles down the little hills , I definitely go with the rows a lot and also slight angle as well on others :) Hope you’re having a great week!
Happy to hear you’re a new viewer! :) Appreciate the comment about it! I sometimes cut with the rows and sometimes cut at a slight angle, field depending. Hope you’re having a great week! :)
@farmingwithkels5264 hi sweetie Do whatever you need to do to make it work. I like how you get involved with the equipment and understand it You're awesome girl ❤️
Hi Kels I'm glad you put the cylinder stops down when you were under the head,years ago we had a header come down on my sister when she was underneath the head thank God she wasn't seriously injured,Kels you have an awesome channel keep the videos coming stay safe Kels and have a wonderful day
Hi! Thanks for your kind words and support! :) Sorry for late reply! Omg, that is very scary to hear about! Thank you for sharing though. It is very important to take those precaution measures, indeed! Thats always my fear working underneath, what you just described. I’m so glad to know she wasn’t injured too badly! Thanks again for your kindness! :)
That’s a nice combine Kel’s! And to drive him ist the best job. When it’s flows😉But then it’s better as watch tv at home. Did you have flowers in a vase in there? 😀You’re a real farmer girl, I like you😊
Thanks very much! :) Appreciate your kindness! Sorry for late reply! Combining is definitely my favorite, yes! lol. I also yes did have flowers in the combine with me this year :) lol! Happy to read that! Thanks! Have a great day!
Sorry for late reply! Thanks! :) Agreed! That don’t happen too often when it’s just a little mix up instead of big breakdown out there lol! Awesome to hear that’s your mom’s fav flower! :)
Thanks! :) Appreciate your kindness! Sorry for late reply! Lots more videos to come! Thanks for watching! :) Hope you’re having a safe and wonderful week!
Hi Kel's awesome video again, it must be very mentally exhausting constantly having to think all the time. Take care out there and keep that combine rolling you farmers do a fantastic job 👍 😊.
Thanks so much! :) Sorry for delay! Appreciate your thoughtfulness! :) It can get very stressful out there, but the joy and happiness from it makes it my absolute favorite time of year! :) Thanks for watching!
We have been done for just shy of 3 weeks. The beans were average at best. The corn was pretty good & quite dry for us. The wettest corn we combined was around 18.5%. The driest was 13%. Not a bad harvest for our last one.
As of now I’ve been done for two and a half weeks. Bean yields down but corn better than last year for me, however, running my new to me 8120 and a 35’ flex head went well but I have a wiring or sensor issue as I had to run the head in manual along with the tilt for the last half of beans. Looks like those new “o” grate concaves work very well. Can’t wait to see how they do in corn for you.
Hi! :) Sorry for late reply! Happy to read this! Great to hear you got your crops all complete weeks ago! Awesome that your corn crop was great this year! :) Very exciting that you got some new equipment this year as well! Hopefully you got the wiring or sensors figured out:) That can be challenging! I loved working with the o grate concaves this year, yes! Thanks! Wishing you a great week! :)
What I find amazing, the average farm uses their combine under 200hrs/year. Imagine it was a semi truck. That’s maybe a months usage. A combine should last without issue for 10 years. I think manufacturers build in obsolescence. Imagine people like Deere after making a million on a combine has to get a couple repairs every year.
Just ask some truck owners about engine troubles after CAT stopped making truck engines and emissions had to be added... A combine is full of wear parts like your semi trucks tires on a mountain road of sharper rocks every day. At 1500 threshing hours especially of corn peas beans the more abrasive crops the combine will start to need some TLC on them contact parts if not already. Like the undercarriage on a dozer working in dirt rocks sand etc wears out faster. Them parts are wear items... A grain auger can look new on the outside but if used hard for a few years can be all worn out on the inside!!
Another great video Kels!
Thanks lots! :) Appreciate that! Sorry for late reply!

Great job sweetie
Have you ever tried to go on a slight angle cutting the beans , it can help with cutting and feeding in the header
New viewer hear and I'll agree on the cutting at an angle. Once the end rows are off I NEVER cut with the rows. But maybe that only works here in southern Indiana.
