Timely video. I was watching your daughter's video with the 70's technology and got to wondering how the corn got off the cob.
@stevehoutkooper1671Ай бұрын
In Iowa it is combining corn down to the kernel. If I am picking the corn it goes into a corn crib to dry and then hire a corn sheller to finish the process. Nobody picks corn anymore, that is old school.

These technical vids are very interesting and entertaining to me, Cale, thanks. Two things I taught my nephews how to do when they were teens here on the farm were how to drive a stick and back up a trailer, those kid's couldn't find their asses without their phones. Well done, Gage, y'all should have a contest backing up. lol

I've been a truck driver most of my life traveling through the cornfields and soybean fields, but always on the asphalt. Many times I've watched harvest and wondered how it all worked. So your explanation also covers 65 year olds as well as 5? Thanks for the window into your world.

Thats an awesome tour of the combine! I've always wondered how they work. Unfortunately, now next time I'm eating a big bowl of grits I'll be thinking about you walking all over that corn! :)

Awesome video Cale, very interesting, loved it very much. If I could afford one day, I would like to ask for an invite to come to your farm and help in the springtime to see how the Equipment Works, I have always loved farming and I love equipment

the 8250 is a half million dollars well spent. Hopefully corn prices go way higher than they are now.

I can sure see the need for that emergency stall function. When something happens, that's a whole bunch of deadly moving parts that need to freeze in time. Easily a matter of life and death.

We called picking corn when it was done with a corn picker and the whole cob went into a usually round wire bin to be ground up for cattle feed. Thanks for the good work. Keep it up.

It was either last year or a couple years ago, the coolest shot of farming I saw was when you put the 360 camera up on your bin and we could watch the video in whatever orientation we wanted. That was awesome. Did you do anything like that this year? The other cool video I remember you posting was when you did a time lapse from your silo or shop or something and it just watched you harvest across the street for a while with the trucks coming and going and with the grain cart trying to keep up. Did you do anything like that this year as well? Love the content and the education you give us. I grew up doing wheat and barley. Corn and beans are completely foreign to me and what it takes to grow them and maintain and harvest. Thank you.

As a packing plant millwright this is super interesting to me. The new tech is really amazing and the speed of processing blows me away. I have family in North Dakota, sure wish I was involved in a farming family. I think I would have fit right in. Thanks for the video.

Excellent tour of the combine and explanation of how it works. Thank you for risking the health of your machine for the demonstration. I knew the simplified how it works from a book, but it was really cool to see it in real life. Always love to see you work with Grant. And Gage is killing it in the semi!

Nice walk around of the Combine, I hadn't heard of a kill stall before and I can see why you wouldn't want to do them on a regular basis. Does the parking brake come on when you turn the key off or is there that much resistance on the hydrostatic drive system? Either way the front wheels stopped turning instantly. I would be cautious of shutting the engine down under operating temperature at load and not restarting it back up immediately. In such situation there isn't time for the coolant to circulate and cool the engine down, I'd imagine the turbocharger would also increase in temperature. Seems to me you would get the same results in the test, and it wouldn't be as hard on the engine to kill the engine then immediately disengaging the head and combine internals and pull the Hydro back to Neutral and restart the engine.

Muy buena la explicación, consejo.. es un grave error apagar el funcionamiento de la cosechadora cuando aún tiene producto en el interior, eso puede dañar el rotor y otros mecanismos de la cosechadora
@jeffreybassett99182 ай бұрын
I have some questions for you: 1.) clearly you have made the choice of RED vs Green - what goes into that decision ? 2: what determins the speed that you can actually harvest? density of the actual corn? power of the machine? (I hear you reference engine load often) or ?? I heard you reference head height - and previously a "chopping corn head" Can you explain chopping vs not chopping ? I really enjoy your channel and Laura's too. -J-

If fields, combines and circles were all bigger the harvesting would be quicker surely.

I'm curious why you have a Case/IH combine but John Deere tractors. Was it features, price, or simply what your father used that led to these choices? I enjoy the videos! Please keep them coming.

The way I see it...the camera man(Grant)...needs Combat Pay to stand in close and film that monster 8250 in operation. In viet-nam, I too was a camera man..Combat On Site Photographer..I didn't have to film a combine in operation..but I did have to be "in position" to photograph B-52 bombs landing "in Country"..the blast of 108 bombs (mail) being delivered from my vantage point(100 meters) was like corncobs comming at you at 1000 mph for 3 minutes..lol..your starting position would be some 50 meters from your end position, usually..Big fun !

How much fuel does it use, per mile or per hour Not sure which method you use or neither? Do you grease it everyday or just when refueling. How many years do they usually last before major service. Thank you I hope you still show us your routine after harvest it's all interesting.
