Nice looking and running 45. Had one like that back years ago. It was my first combine I bought it when I was in my early 20's.

Do you have a combine now?
@eeengineer88513 күн бұрын
Dad had a '68 45 much like yours from '74 to '97 when he retired. Never did straight cut on small grains but always used a swather and belt pickup of the windrows. I have some video on my channel of soybean harvest with it in '96.

Almost finished Roger? Looks like half way done there is a ton of straw to bale from what I can see. Combine looks and sounds great
@rogermiller74113 күн бұрын
Finished. Wheat did about 70 bushels per acre, a lot for such an old combine. The attendant at the grain elevator said my wheat was cleaner than any he’s seen. Not bad for a crop planted with a drill that’s 87 years old and harvested with a combine that’s 57 years old. I’m going to try to bale the straw with a 1953 Case 130 baler and a 1957 Case 400 tractor.

@rogermiller74113 күн бұрын
The wheat came in about 2 weeks early this year. Made 70 bu per acre at about 12 percent moisture. A 55 is a good combine so I’m sure you’ll do fine.

Yes. But you exit from the front away from the pto so you’re not endangered. I would normally shut the pto off but for videos I let it run so you can see and hear the picker sheller running.

Just maybe a helpful tip,I have been told many years ago by some old farmers not to broadcast fertilizer to put it in the row don't fertilize the weeds just the crop..I had a Oliver 77 row crop but iI moved and my wife at the time said we moved to far away and I didn't need it , ok she thought it was to old and I now don't have a place to keep it so I gave it to my best friend and he will take care of it.

My Dad tried solid seeded soybeans with a drill a few times in the 80s. We normally had 36" row crops. Too many problems with weeds (this was the days before roundup ready seeds). One could only spray for a few specific weeds then and had to drive down some of the crop in the process. So, he gave up on the idea eventually. I remember the family walking the field through the tangled stalks (no rows) to pull weeds a few times too.

That two bottom rollover plow that that John Deere 720 was plowing with that’s so you don’t have to lay off a land. You can start on one side of your field and you only have a dead on one side. Could you just work your way across the field alsoif you’re irrigating your field, a lot of farmers will start on the bottom end of the field and throw the dirt back up towards the top in because through irrigation. You gradually washed dirt to the Lori end so they’ll take back to the front and that kind of throws the dirt back up to the upper end.

Your ground looks good and dry enough to plant. We're still too wet to even drive across the field! I just picked up another M, has all kind of M&W add on, power steering, fenders, live hydraulic system, to name the important ones. Needs tires all around, and the gas tank cleaned out. If I can ever get the crops planted, I'll splurge on a set of tires and get it usable.

I was using my 12ft RWA this afternoon. Similar disk but with a rigid frame. I opted for the air conditioner in the 5093 instead of a two cylinder because it was pretty hot here today. I don’t really make the two cylinders earn their keep anymore. They have earned their retirement the same as I have.

Ran about half the field and then it started acting like it was running out of gas. Finally died and wouldn’t start. Towed it to the barn with the Super 77. After letting it sit for about 1/2 hour it started, running fine so I put it in its stall. Could be I have dirt in the tank or the caps not venting. I’m going to take the tank off and have it cleaned. I’ve had several tractors with similar problems and it’s usually one of those two things.Any other thoughts appreciated. Thanks for watching.
