Cleaning Wheat

[@r8tr273]

I grew up in central Illinois and worked for every farmer around. Truly enjoyed those days. Really enjoy your videos and watch everyday. Cleaning grain looks similar to drying corn. Stand there and watch and make sure nothing gets plugged up. Thanks for taking us with you. God Bless, Allen

[@bjjarnecke]

Mike, I don’t care if you’re watching paint dry, you can make anything entertaining!

Yo young man. Congrats on the engagement. I wish you luck. Your gonna need it. Said by an old man who's been thru 3 divorces. Your humor is much needed in the farming videos. Very appreciated. Thanks for psycho entertainment. A guy whos been divorced 3 times needs psycho entertainment.

Used to clean a few of our soybeans every year for seed. Had a seed cleaner come in from Nebraska with a large motorized mostly wooden "Clipper" seed cleaner that was fast. He would clean enough beans at one set up for 3 of us. Did a good job. Then Monsanto came out with their patented roundup ready soybeans stopping re-using your own seed. Looks cold up north, eh?

[@mikemitchell2554]

Haha it's cold Tim.. Yeah, I hate buying new seed! Ridiculously expensive

[@alank7962]

Had just watched your Hawaii video (congrats), and then next thing i know you're showing up in KY! I was meh on KY show, Agco didn't bring the yellow stuff, and was hoping Claas would have the tracked Xerion. 40+ days of cleaning = no. Maybe dump the Ideal combine, get a couple old 9870's and upgrade the cleaning system? GCS or Almaz, maybe not perfect, but fast.

[@lanwickum]

Fun to watch someone doing it :) I am just getting a screen going to clean some dockage, size, and try some other little things. Garbs, yellow peas, flax, see what else I want to try running through it. Learning while I go. A cheap $1500 screen that fits two Bench screens, 54"x72". Wow is it slow sizing garbs. Hope this speeds up with flax and peas. Maybe some slot screens instead of round hole would be faster with garbs, also get more of the pods and sticks out. Only another $400 and another trip to Bench just to find out??

[@mikemitchell2554]

🤔 I feel like you are a cleaning pro! Haha I need to learn a few things here I think haha

[@lanwickum]

@@mikemitchell2554 Ha, learning and will let a pro clean it when I am done. Try to get the large % of screenings out, will hopefully some $. If you had my system you wouldn't be contemplating life. ;)
