A Rough DAY!! (Video #8 of Harvest 2024)

[@Suchislife123]

Im an Aussie farmer with 3 daughters, love seeing ur girls out getting it done and you teaching them so much. Appreciate you all sharing ur life with us.

[@philipfleming3546]

So good to see your oldest daughter out helping grandpa and dad during harvest. Also like how you numbered your videos during harvest so we could see the order you'll worked them. God Bless and keep the cart between the rows.

[@mikemurphy9153]

Always great to see kiddos helping.

[@stevenkegerreis166]

Another great video. Thank you all

[@AdamBurtnett]

Drone footage was amazing

[@michaeltablet8577]

Pure excellence and the videos are great also!

[@Jhhardwoods]

Always great seeing new videos

[@perrysebastian6928]

Denim pants are heavy when compared with the new stretch workpants. The jeans are going into the back closet for sure.

Great job driving the combine Tim and Warren

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great video Tony

[@SPR-777]

Sorry to hear about your yields and low test weights. It’s the same to the north of the border. We expected better with the moisture that we had this year. Next year will be better!! That’s what us farmers always say, right?? Keep the faith. Have a good day.

[@patrickklinger8015]

U guys have a great team! People who really care about their craft and the others around them. What a blessing

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great job running the tractor and grain cart young lady

[@joescheller6680]

Really like the concept of the right hand unload on grain cart. Having ran grain carts for years amongst all other harvesting jobs. Alway felt awkward to me unloader on left and controls on the left and the scale. Much easier to top of a truck in my estimation

[@kennysouthwel4127]

Tony, we came through your area August 1 and spent the night in Glascow. I like to have never got all the grasshopper guts off my motorhome that next evening😂. Another great year for Montana grasshoppers.

[@rawhideadventures9515]

We in Arkansas are wishing it would just stop raining. After 4 days and around 5 inches of rain, we need wind and sun.

[@randallharmsen5802]

Nice drone footage Tony. Dry in a lot of areas where rains generally fall. Hard on farmers!

[@pab40sc]

Great drone footage along with great production with sound and picture. Super. Sorry to hear test weight is so low. Praying for you guys.

[@bradfreer2132]

Tony will your middle daughter bump you out of the combine next yr, tku to you and Amy for making such great videos 🇨🇦🙏

[@JohnSmith-vo9zc]

Another great video Tony - thank you. Your channel represents the only GOOD Ag Channel content from Montana - it is appreciated.

[@creatorwords4113]

Beautiful drone footage...great background sound!

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Good luck combining your 2024 crops Tony

[@Gary_and_Linda]

Sorry to hear about the disappointing yields 😭 Can you get Spray Nine down there? Spray Nine dissolves grass hoppers and bugs on the bumper. We use it in a one gallon pump up sprayer like you use for lawn and garden. Stay safe!

[@KNJensen]

The drone footage is awesome 👍👍👍👍

[@richardbrown3956]

Well, that’s a plus.

[@davidkimmel5153]

Thanks for the update

[@whiteeagletrans9850]

Tony, you change the flex pipes are you using steel or stainless steel. Yes the stainless it little more expensive but last whole lot longer. Not rust out so soon maybe take the rocks little better. Thx for the videos

[@ryanbachman9227]

Have a safe and wonderful harvest. Gif bless

[@KarmaShaw-dc1hd]

Nice shots for a harvest calendar

[@dmk1529]

Thanks

[@davidkimmel5153]

Thanks for the update. That is such a low TW on Wheat. That is what farming is like. We always are saying. Next Year. Be Safe and God Bless.

Good Video

[@richardbrown3956]

Was the test weight low on the winter wheat?

[@FastAgMontana]

@@richardbrown3956 not as bad. Still will make number 1.

[@nealhadley1482]

So if they don't take your spring wheat what are your options? Cattle feed?

[@carve164]

So with the low weights will you have to buy spring wheat to plant next year?

[@philippenouvellon8883]

Bonjour vidéo très intéressante 🇫🇷👍

[@BRENTTULLY-uk5tr]

Hi 👋

[@stevenkegerreis166]

Have you heard from Collin ? Hope he is doing well.

[@johnnylindsey5808]

Good job guys and girls

[@JHruby]

Tomy, it's disappointing for sure and we all feel for you. The race started well, but the finish just wasn't there. Keep the faith.

[@elizabethliska5377]

Sorry to hear about your lower than average harvest and low test weight. Seems about the same issues as Mike Mitchell from Canada has.

[@flyboy6876]

I was born and raised on a ranch west of Cut Bank; yep, I'm an Indian; we referred to crops as the good, the bad, and the really ugly. But I am in my 70s and live in Washington state now. My body does better without Cut Bank cold and wind. It is fun to watch combine go around Hills in Washington combine level, header at 12 degrees angle

[@markweiler8172]

How many years of good crops would it take to blend off that low test wheat ? 😂🤔🤷‍♂️

[@jamiewynn9303]

When we gonna get to see the new tractor in action you showed couple videos back

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

It seems like across North America the crops sucks this year

[@rodneyballard8682]

Lot's of feed wheat at that weight

[@rodkinzler9275]

So was it an option to let federal crop zero out the wheat and destroy it. Just curiosity

[@FastAgMontana]

Oh no. That’s not how that works. They wouldn’t pay you for what you raised. Just the difference from what we raise to what our proven yield is. The crops all looked really good, above average, just didn’t finish well. The heads were all there just not filled all the way.

What is life span of a combine- hours?

[@John-nc4bl]

As always, thanks for excellent videos and I have been a subscriber for a long time. I like the idea of dumping on the go into a semi instead of into a cart. Less grain augering without a cart means less fines in the grain, less manpower required, less fuel used, less wear on machinery and higher profits. With a semi pulling a 40 foot trailer there would be approximately 500 bu or 15 tons on the 8 back wheels of the trailer. On the twin drive axles of the semi a fair distance forward of the rear wheels of the trailer, there would be roughly the same weight on these 8 wheels. With your average 1000 bu or 30 ton cart there are only 2 wheels to carry this load. Green chopped corn forage silage is heavy and it is loaded into semis. Potatoes, sugar beet and various vegetable crops are unloaded on the go from the harvesters directly into semis. Check out this video of wheat harvesting and unloading directly into a semi trailer. 2024 crop report - box elder.

You've mentioned this before. It might work for you on your farm, and maybe years ago this was done with small trucks, but I can understand why they don't do it that way now, and why it is not something I want to do on my farm. As a grain farmer I can tell you several things about your proposal. It wouldn't save manpower or much fuel; you'd still need two guys anyway and the truck would have to drive a lot in a soft field making tracks and burning a lot of fuel. By the way a 40' trailer hauls a lot more than 500 bu, closer to 950 legally, but probably would end up very much overweight when dumping on the go into such a trailer. The cart spreads the weight out with tracks or very large tires; pressure on the soil is a tiny fraction of what an 18 wheeler would put on the soil. The cart could probably run over your foot and you'd not be hurt too bad by it. Also the cart lets you load the truck very precisely with a scale so as not to overload any axle group. Other reasons not to use the trucks directly include it's very very challenging to drive a manual at slow speeds in a soft field. Combines don't always move at a constant speed, so would have to vary speed between 4 and 6 mph. Would require an expert driver. Silage and vegetables are different things from wheat. Corn silage is not as heavy as grain; there's a reason the trailers are so tall. Plus corn silage comes off at much higher volume than grain, so trucks end up being more practical in that instance. We have corn silage here on our farm and the trucks often use super singles to spread the weight out a bit more than the normal duals, and most trucks are allison automatics. Potatoes also are done with trucks (usually tandem trucks with automatic transmissions) because of the volume involved, but also because the harvester has no on-board storage. The harvester goes really slow and the trucks have to have a creeper gear, and most trucks are allison automatics, not standards. As I mentioned before I have a neighbor that uses a couple of big potato carts on a tractors now, rather than trucks in the field. And some potato harvesters now have an onboard -storage bin. I can tell you that compaction in potato fields after harvest from the trucks is a huge issue. Requires deep tillage afterwards. I hope this helps. You've posted several times on their videos about this. Hopefully this educates you a bit on the reasons why things are done this way. You might want to read up a bit on how farmers in Australia used controlled-traffic farming to reduce compaction.

[@FastAgMontana]

We used to do this with box trucks. Rough fields are hard the trucks and we could see the tracks in the fields for years. Grain cart is a much better option. We weigh all the grain with the scale for record keeping. This way works amazingly well.

Even if it was good quality Spring Wheat at $6.00/ bu. that's $120.00/ acre. Hard to make ends meet at that rate.

[@grantwahl5596]

I'm wondering, loading semi's back to front will cause a problem with traction?

@@grantwahl5596 what than

[@grantwahl5596]

@user-br9bq9vu2d if you load just the back end of a trailer, it transfers weight off the tractor drive wheels, so much so the wheels will spin

[@grantwahl5596]

It has more to do about the right side unload, you have to back up(as seen near the end of video) to load the trailer front to back, may not be the greatest selling feature as mentioned
