Beginning Farmers First Harvest (Start to Finish)

[@spencerhilbert]

Forgot to mention in the video you can check Grant YT channel out here: www.youtube.com/@granthilbert5632 Also for those curious and don't know that is Grant's combine JD 9560 that we are using. Thanks for watching!

[@blackone222]

Did you remember to add your fix to the forum? Great video!

[@adambater2767]

Cool i was just going to ask for hour bros info👍🏻

[@dieseltrucks790]

You should build a back plate that can dump at the coop and fill the army truck with corn as well

[@jeffheins6624]

Better traction

[@joescheller6680]

Just a thought if truck don't have a hoist look for a gravity box to set in it then you can haul extra corn in truck plus added traction in your slipping issue

[@janisber111]

Yee I was supprised to see army truck not used for hauling corn to.

[@joescheller6680]

@@janisber111 most likely don't have a hoist to dump the box

[@buildmotosykletist1987]

My thought too. Shame we didn't get an answer.

[@patrickhoffman7730]

I’m so glad you guys are starting the process of getting transitioned to farming closer to home even if it takes a couple years

[@richardmiller7622]

Your cab corn agent is a nice addition to your crew.

[@AhTechus]

Very insightful video on agriculture technology.

[@Rob89139]

Given the field work etc, you had to do into planting season, I'd say this was a successful season Spencer. You've learned a few lessons this year that I'm sure will serve you well going forward leading to added successes in the future. Another great video and congrats on the season. Looking forward to what you're up to next

[@patrickhoffman7730]

Super glad to see your first year on this farm yielded so well.

[@ayowhatthedogdoinbruh]

keep this up my man! Very very enjoyable to watch

[@spencerhilbert]

Thank you!

[@Harmon_Farms221]

Great to see harvest is going good and it’s good to see a John Deere 4640 going hard because we got one on our farm

[@Lanny-io9bi]

It's really awesome watching you and Grant through the whole process and where you are at today! I'm genuinely happy for you guys and you seem like really good hard working dude's and congratulations on getting your dream jobs going

[@williammerry4746]

OUTSTANDING video. Considering everything, you had very good yields. You and your brother are such likable guys. WIsh you had time to do more videos in between. Maybe that sweet lady could help. God bless you all.

[@waterskiingfool]

Glad harvest went good. Hope you guys have a good thanksgiving

[@spencerhilbert]

Thanks, you too!

[@ralphmorehart]

All you got to do is put the tail gate up and you could haul corn in it to!! Because that is a 5 ton dump ! And it will haul more then 5 tons

[@mwnciboo]

One foot in front of another - well done. Efficiency adds percentage points and it slowly ticks upwards. 1% is 2 Bushes....1% saving of time is 36 seconds per hour... equipment maintenance adds tons of efficiency. I would definitely consider some road maintenance and building a Culvert / access across that stream to speed things up.

[@tomstewart4507]

Nice job boys, I enjoy followimg along. Order parts for that head, do all the rows.

[@spencerhilbert]

That's the plan!

[@walterlaubscherjr2011]

Looking good Hilbert bros congrats on first harvest hopefully you boys will get a grain cart soon it’s a must need piece of equipment

[@jackobert]

Iowa born and raised and work at JD's Harvester Works. I am looking to get some property here soon to start my own farm, these videos are highly motivating!👍

[@joemueth4077]

Good luck to you. Hope you use those pretty green machines in your operation.

[@JaydenLong-qf3jq]

Hi

[@michaelmartineau1373]

Good job lad you and your brother are awesome young men

[@zilla2006able]

that was nice of your neighbor using his grain cart maybe next year you may buy a use Grain cart.

[@davidfisherworkmadefun1592]

i think its awesome your doing what you do after watching your videos i seen you went to Iowa state the funny thing about it is i drive for Decker Truck Lines and i see the trailers in Fort Dodge all the time for the cyclones i really enjoy working there its such a cool place to be employed for keep up the good work

[@AhTechus]

Impressive use of agriculture technology here! It’s exciting to think about how this will improve efficiency in farming.

[@josephpmans]

Thanks Spencer, great to see the process from start to finish

[@timstroh216]

Congrats on your first harvest Spencer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hopefully the corn head is repairable without to much expense!! now comes tillage! Awesome job my friend👍👍👍

[@manleybrittain1296]

I am so glad to see you guys harvesting Grant hasn't done much filming at all thank you Spencer for the update!

[@DanielHernandez-vo9bf]

The beginning was funny 😂 with grant

[@FRG-OG]

Been waiting for harvest videos for a while

[@matthewcaldwell2681]

Love your channel keep putting out good stuff

[@robertjames9191]

You should add diff locks to your army truck so you don’t get stuck like that in the future.

[@adambater2767]

Also good video took me a couple attempts to watch it all i got alot going on all the time but kept me interested enough to keep checking back to finish it

[@spacefacegaming]

I love that John dear harvester looks nice and them do looks nice for what Grant said btw love the irl farming Sim Spence

[@jeremiah5313]

Congrats to both of ya!! Great 2023 harvest! 👍👍🤠

[@jonan2774]

Beautiful Rig going on here lads. Respect

[@AlcidesSalgado]

That’s some cool machinery there. Congrats on the successful harvests.

[@nikspiks782]

Such a good video keep it up, and I would love it if you posted more of them!

[@clemenskuro2984]

You can open up the row plates on the header which should eliminate the clogging of that row. The row width should be set to the crop you’re harvesting and with Garry’s field being dryer the crop stems were also smaller which is why the header didn’t clog up on his field

[@CaryGuyer]

Great to see another Hilbert video. You guys are doing an amazing job, you just need to film more in between video instead of just putting a video out every once in a blue moon.

[@aidenjoyce-wc6vz]

I am glad that you guys had a great time

[@randybedker1584]

Congratulations on your first harvest.

[@codmlife55]

Congratulations on your first harvest Spencer. I would love to see you make fodder bales

[@rothfarms]

You guys rock be proud and continue to be awesome!

[@Richieb8]

Yes a new farming video

[@jasonbeecher509]

Awesome job for your first year farming

[@aquase]

Love that you guys are now playing farm instead of farm sim.

[@thomasrogers4201]

Wish you the best young man. You seem to have a good plan, I’m sure you’ll succeed! Good farming!

[@banjobenson9348]

Good deal , love the old truck.

[@steelmooseacsled2527]

Nice video! Love seeing that yellow and green!

[@OutofTownwithRobinBell]

Great channel as well as your brother new subscriber to your looking forward to more videos 👍

[@petergate5783]

need a bigger header for sure and a small grain cart keep getting land you guys will love it for sure great video

[@pinhookfishingclub]

Great job! Wishing you all the best with the farm! An exciting time for you!

[@rodneyspencer5158]

That's awesome Spencer I'm glad you had a good harvest hey spenc you and Grant should buy that tractor and grain cart that was a good setup

[@ChanceFlynn-bv8np]

I recognize the co op, welcome to the neighborhood lol

[@benfields7556]

Spence!!!! That is a lot of cab corn😂😂

[@arbhsingh2291]

been waiting for while, love from 🇮🇳 In between i just watched all the Grant 's Chanel videos 😅

[@danmagstadt8345]

Nice work man! Hell of a first harvest on new ground and only will get better!! Maybe a new corn header in the future or a complete rebuild!

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Great video.

[@craigadair128]

That is great yield for Year 1

[@cedricbroussard8738]

Love the video!! Awesome job 👏

[@tigeriip3092]

Good job pro 👍

[@thehayteamtv6830]

interesting way you and your brother film for you tube

[@HermmyElf]

🌽🌽🚜 Bravo! Congrats on your great success! Thanks for the awesome video footage. 🙏May GOD Bless your Noble Efforts.

[@PietervanNoord]

If you put a grain cart on the back of that truck you don’t get stuck up hill 😉

[@_sergiu__]

Hope you have a bright future persuing dream!

[@thomasbritten7216]

Slip clutches need rebuilt on that head. Find a nice Kinze 640, 650, 840, 850 grain cart for the 8110. Dual auger is much nicer for loading tall wagons compared to a corner auger

[@Thatyz8580]

You guys should buy Gary’s grain cart and tractor if it’s ever for sale

[@Jacksonwilliams-z8q]

You guys should buy the grain cart and tractor from Gary

[@daveb4210]

Ok, my only question is how do you “hammer down” “nice and slow”? You guys do a great job working everything out with all the coordination you have to do. Congratulations on a great season for both of you and fingers crossed you will both be able to continue to consolidate the farms together close to home!

[@HorsleyLandy88]

Good job guys

[@greatlakeshuntingandtracking]

Well done

[@EFI592]

Before you buy new rolls, look up B&R welding. They take used rolls and rebuild them to better than new.

[@Benji7480]

I think grant means he’s going to want a auger wagon, when he said grain cart of Gary s

[@robervin9107]

Yas sang spectacular Spencer. Give me your Glorious voice. Awesome vlog guys. I’m so proud of you both. So then the idea of making hay or grass bales for a bit of extra money is still a option?

[@whjerts]

Clanking of the rolls means the cluster/triple gear that drives roll 21:15 went out

[@bernardniesen8694]

It would be nice to see repair vids, like the other farmers.

[@carlsilfverforsen5697]

grant put some corn in the back on the truck then you get some more axel pressure on the back

[@Moped-Hackler]

finally a another videoooo

[@marco-ls9fm]

I dont know if it would be worth it but, would it be possible to make a bridge of some sorts at the part shown at 16:42? It probably would be expensive but that should be compensated by not having to deal with stuck tractors and such

[@richardclayton4091]

If the neighbor Gary is retiring you should buy his tractor and grain cart.

[@waynejones5239]

Nice video

[@rest9948]

Try lifting the header to decrease the material it will save you header a lot

[@olepedersen2795]

You should keep the paddles on the gathering chains across from each other instead of staggered.

[@Military-Museum-LP]

Spencer you have allot of tree removal to do this winter.

[@highhavencabin]

Wondering if you saw the Cornstars intercropping video. I found it fascinating

[@rest9948]

Farming in South Africa🇿🇦

[@rolandroy9955]

Can you fix the tailgate on the truck to haul corn? Sorry if someone else has asked the question . I have enjoyed yours and Grants channel thanks foe sharing.

[@spencerhilbert]

Yeah I could. But I calculated it would only hold 200-250 bushels. Would be super nice for the weight on the drive tires though. I think it would be to much of a hassle dumping. If I had a “private” bin site where I wasn’t in anyone’s way I would try it for fun.

[@nerd1000ify]

If you just need weight over the wheels you might consider ballasting the truck. For example with some IBCs filled with water. Easy to forklift in and out of the truck as required.

[@ericholder3856]

Little tack welds on slip clutches

[@georgeballad7001]

You guys should buy a kinze 840 grain cart for the 8100

[@Rift_wt]

When the tractor started bouncing it was in beat😭🙏

[@joeyfrazier3568]

We all get a chance I need a line at the fields

[@jeffheins6624]

I see you're going to be busy with the excavator this winter

[@grantpowers]

Looking for grain cart,,, don’t go to dealers,, ask around first, go to auctions, you’ll get better deals😊😊

[@haydeere1614]

Buy a 4640 or 4440 something along them lines

[@southpawred7172]

Does the truck have a hoist? If you could haul corn with it - obviously it would help with traction pulling the wagons. 👍👍

[@richardstewart5197]

Put a little dirt in the truck with the excavator, weight will help it with traction

[@backcountry_lens]

Did you repost? I just finished watching the other one 😂

[@spencerhilbert]

Yeah had an issue with some clips lagging decided to fix it.

[@BlandDeuce]

That"s one way to Knock the dust off

[@chevrolet4544]

Grant just casually taking kids 😂

[@spencerhilbert]

Yeah it was so funny!

[@chevrolet4544]

@spencerhilbert your so much fun to watch I hope some day to take over my grandpa's farm. He has two big new hollands a t8020 and a t8010. You should tell Grant to look at them the startup is cool, pre DEF, and they're workhorses

[@haidersyed.]

Well thats really good watching you doing all the stuff brother. I wonder how many acres you do have for farming either your own or leased ones?

[@spencerhilbert]

It’s just the 50 I own here. My brother farms 250 acres. (Just started 3 years ago) he has a separate channel showing him starting back in 2020.

[@farmerbill6855]

Hope to see a few ton of gravel on that creek ford next year. Harvest turned out well for you. Nice.

[@grant2122]

You guys should buy a grain truck and cart

[@blackone222]

did you remember to post your fix to the forum?
