A Week Of Progress

[@JohnSmith-lw2bm]

Tim trying to get the gravity wagon shut. I laughed out loud!! 😂😂😂 I can’t believe the new ride came with family seating!

[@DGFarms]

Talk about a good looking sample of corn! Looking forward to more harvest videos

[@clinthochrein888]

Great video Wes. We have some close calls on our dairy farm years ago. A dad telling us about a neighbor down the road years before us kids were born about a fatal mistake with a corn picker.

[@TKossi]

Awesome. Take care on your family in harvest season. Best wishes and greetings from Germany.

[@claetuswoodroofe1854]

We have been using Krone Tedders in 6 or 8 rotor versions for 19 years in heavy crops in Ireland. They are reliable and like all Krone products well built. They make an amazing 16 rotor version

[@mikenicholson2548]

Wes, i watch all your videos. I just love watching the combine videos. What a great piece of equipment you bought.

[@jasondavies4887]

I don't think I've ever seen Tim move so fast, to shut the grain trailer door😂🤣

Hay Wes,that is an awesome site,you cutting corn,very impressive machine 😅

[@jacobconfer1693]

I admire how hard you and your family work. Love your videos.

[@martinwaddell]

I guess you’re showing that New Jersey has good agriculture Wicked funny you showed that Tim has more than one speed Congratulations on the great family and Farm❤

[@canvids1]

Wes, great to see you out in the field with the newer combine. Looks like it is doing a great job. I liked your quote! I have the best job in the world. When I was working on the Railway I used to say the same thing. If you love your job, you can't wait to get at it everyday.

[@anth956]

Yes sir you sure do have a wonderful job. When I turned 16 I went to work for a local farmer and I learned so much and you learn something new everyday!! I loved it. Hey man you sure do put out some good content and I like the way you do with the family the wife and little man.

[@shoresharp8349]

Wes the sample in the tank looks pretty good . I bet it's a big step from the Ole tr series to the 8090!!

[@MrE30]

Truly awesome Wesley seeing you happy, and the new combine out working

[@claydoesvids]

Hey Wes, the 9670 was made from 2008 to 2011, the 70 series is one of john deere's most reliable combines before the computers got way to involved. Great machines, but most have over 2500 hours now. I just parked mine for the year with 3K sep hours, oh the agony of looking for a newer machine now.

[@norman7179]

Good to see the machine in the field and earning it's keep. The corn looked really clean going into the hopper. Thanks Wes, Theresa, Tim, William. 👍😊

[@andban92]

That's really sweet machine! Glad it works well so far with not giving headache! Hopefully it stays like that for the rest of corn harvest.

[@baknblack1]

Don't fret over a little spilled corn Tim. I've done similar stuff several times in my life and so has your dad.

[@csbfarms]

We currently farm with a 9670 and we have loved it, has been a bullet proof machine for us. Most of our neighbors run the 70 series machines and all love them!

[@davie2606]

The 780 seem to be bad for snapping grain augers

[@NexLevelBacon]

We run 9670 as well and we like it

[@blakew1323]

I love our 9870. Things a beast

[@jackwillie2729]

Had no problem as a kid lining up the corn head snouts with the rows on are 2 row corn head...I'd have to put reflector tape on the center snout too get things lined up on that 12 row ...Tim's looks like he's earn his spot on the Farm ...Good Job Tim

[@williamorman4779]

Glad to see your new combine workin good for you

[@stevelutzke9600]

Congratulations making it to the field Wes. Have a safe trouble free harvest!

[@billymoad]

Congratulations Wes looks like the combine going to be awesome for you bud Hi everyone from northwest Missouri 😊

[@astrojw1039]

Wow, never seen Tim move that fast! 🎉

[@craigadair128]

It looks like you're really enjoying the new machine

[@joedoak3478]

Very nice you deserve a nice piece of equipment as hard as you work

[@FrisianFront]

The krone 1300 and 1600s are awesome tedders. Good quality fine spreading machines.

[@tbix1963]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Great video, impressive combine. Was really interesting to see the inside of the combine. Might make an interesting camera shot to see it in action if possible. Have always heard if you are doing something you love, you will never work a day in your life. When I started my dream career, the first thing a friend would ask me whenever he saw me was, is it work yet. Gladly for my 30+ years it was only work for maybe a few months scattered out in individual random days. Wishing you and your family the best.

[@waynejones5239]

Would probably be one less camera

[@sealevel1919]

Tim jumped closing that gate. Great video

[@farmingnodak]

Grease the rotor and variable header sheves and rollers often, and slow down/speed up through the entire range to get that grease worked around and allow it to run in a new position. Make those parts last a long time. Man William is growing up fast... soon you'll have to get him a grain cart to chase you around the field with.

[@Planeiron]

Tim was hauling arse, I done that crap before except we was picking corn and left the gate open almost a whole 2 rows, and I got to drive the row and pick it all up, never happened again...Great Vid👍👍👍👍🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽

[@rw3dog]

Congratulations on the combined first run. BTW I love Shady Maple

[@pdruff]

Your story matches one we had in college age safety class, in the early 80's, was pull type forensic search of silage found remains. Always been dangerous..

[@sirwallygator565]

hat tension release is the best.. JD still has the screw tensioner... Just visit Zack and see the problems letting the tension off those chains

[@danw6014]

You're right. Farming is dangerous business. The most dangerous part is sharing the road with citiots. I think one of most dangerous machines I ever used was a corn picker. There were a lot of guys around here with a hand missing and just about every farm in my neck of the woods had one.

[@aaronjarvenpa1743]

Those self propelled chopper’s have gotten so big and big horse power engines .

[@aaronkline9102]

Tim and the gravity wagon door it had me thinking I had that once it was late in nov before Thanksgiving running 750 bushel killbros grain cart on john deere 8400 and it was about 11pm spitting snow cold prob 20 to 30 out well the guy I worked for who farms my gpas ..him and his oldest son farm together well anyway they switched off running combine early that evening so his son was taking trucks back to his place to put in bins there well he took loaded semi home brought back there dump truck in a rush he forgot to shut coal chute or grain chute door I did not know that he hopped in other semi I already loaded took off well I just started to unload corn had to run out Try to shut door had to beat it down with my mag light flashlight you can slide it up easy but pain to slide shut so it happens they have 2 semi trucks a straight truck and used to have dump truck too they farm 3700 acers corn wheat and soybeans 😢

[@paulkotowicz8153]

much faster than the old one it's definitely an improvement from the looks of things

Good Morning Wes’s,Edward from Vermont

I've a Krone KW 8.82 , had it 10 years and only thing that's went wrong was a leaking ram for folding it. Can't fault it.

[@lanereigle7355]

Have the new holland pro cart plus I think the 12/24 whatever it is love it had it for 3 years full hydraulic adjustment

[@danielsweeney6742]

Someday real soon William will be behind the wheel of that combine!

[@jeramy2398]

Krone rotary racks are nice compared to the other brands I've used and looked at their built the toughest work great.

[@brianhowe4875]

The Jersey Giant looks great in the field! Corn looks awesome from here. What are your yields so far?

[@benny8300]

I never seen Tim run that fast in my life lol. Ha ha ha.

[@glennschlorf1285]

I got a story just as bad.... This was back in around 1987.... there was a near neighboring farmer. he was going out to go get some green chop with a gehl flail green chopper... he went out to chop and his young son was out playing again another 4 year old... he was playing in the hay feild and fell asleep. You guessed it he came along and didnt see it till it was too late... he was never right the dad after....... Are you gonna run the old combine this year wes?

[@jvin248]

Every time I see a hay farming video with someone running a tedder I kinda cringe, it looks like they nearly beat the leaves off the hay so you end up baling mostly stems. I grew up with the five roller bar rakes that in comparison seem much more gentile on the hay. I assume tedders are much less expense to buy and the only other option are the vertical disk rakes that may not be much better than tedders in retaining leaves.Have you ever run side-by-side tedder vs other options and compared leaves (and thus bale yield)? Similar analysis to putting a ring on the ground to count corn/soybean kernels to see what the combine is losing per acre.

[@Blackearthexcavationandtiling]

NH rakes are a sitrex - nice rakes, you can order an optional on the go, hydraulic width and angle controls (has a 12v control box - in cab controls)

[@JohnSmith-id6ky]

When you making more videos? We need a fed up farmer video

[@Blackearthexcavationandtiling]

@@JohnSmith-id6ky thanks for checking in on me! ...time has gotten away from me! But I'll be back on soon with more videos...

[@jeremygrubb1434]

What I’ve seen Wes the krone is the best built and on the other hand I like khun too krone has all kinds of great equipment I also love there mowers too wes try out the khun rakes I love the two different ones I pull for a family member and a friend the friends khun rake is 12 year old and if anything stand him that long with no problem it has to be a good one I hope you’re corn and beans do a lot better than what you we’re thinking and every one stay safe all of you all and keep the great videos coming

Hey Wes apologies if i missed this but are you keeping the old TR in reserve or is it going down the road? The new combine is a beast!

Will you have to run it all through the dryers at 30% moisture?. I imagine they'd dock you pretty hard at the granary.

U ever wonder just what Will is thinking as he is sitting there just watching ?

[@derekcarlson4915]

Are you ever going to tell us the story of how you purchased your new combine? You mentioned you bought it at auction and you got it super cheap somehow and that the auction house tried to back out of the sale. I am just curious as I am sure a lot of other are as to the details of the purchase such as the price you were able to get it for and how they tried to back out of the sale and how you ultimately prevailed.

[@onelonleyfarmer]

Yes, soon

[@derekcarlson4915]

Thank you sir. love your content been watching for many years

Ya last year there was a bad death of a truck driver he went to clean out his semi van the truck was being loaded with large bales it was only the truck driver and the farmer who was loading the truck the farmer started loading the van an trapped the driver in the trailer short story and sad the driver was crushed in the trailer sad slow death I wanted to write this to let other’s know that load trucks this way always check inside the semi trailer before you load or if you send somebody in the make sure you close one door or truck drivers that get your truck loaded close on side if you go in the trailer before
