Cousin Scott and his Gleaner K picking beans

[@57fitter]

I'm gonna miss ol Scotty. Hope you're doing okay, bud!

[@Thomasfarmstn]

I know combine struggles. We all pitch in and help each other. If you ain’t got friends or in your case a crazy cousin you don’t have much.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Without friends life can be trying and sometimes lonely. So I count my blessings in my friends. Thank you very much for dropping by and supporting this channel.🙂☕

I have had times just you did when I was very angry with myself for not doing something I should have.....Lots of times it ends with me thanking Jesus for a lesson even though it stings a little..Best of luck!!

Whenever I can get the Word of God In My Mind then I know whatever it was we just went through together, the success of it was because of Him.

Never a dull moment on the farm. Hope you get the old JD going!

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Thanks all in all it was an adventure🤔

[@BenWinborn]

Love it sorry about the Deere, I gotta case magnum I still need to put a pto seal in! Just sitting, so Ik ur frustration!

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

some are saying the internal rubber in the injector pump is breaking down and soon I'll have to spend the buzzillions of dollars to have the pump rebuilt. maybe I can get one more year since the 2021 crop did not produce the profit to support such an expensive repair. thanks for watching here.

[@BenWinborn]

@@SoybeanFarmer3300 Ik that’s rights depending what area you in you ever thought about cotton I’m in Alabama and I farm cotton most of my acres this season gone be cotton it’s an exspensive crop to do but it pretty high in dollars right now

[@stephenrice4554]

That gleaners a good looking tool , and that John Deere will be running as smooth as a well stroked puppy . Great video 👍🇬🇧

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Stephen thank you very much for being here watching these videos.🙂

[@pagrainfarmer]

Good to see Cousin Scott out there getting it done. His hard work on his combine has paid off and now he has a combine that should work well for a long time. Sorry about your fuel issues. I know you'll figure it out.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Those fuel issues robbed me of a filming opportunity I had been looking so forward to concerning getting both of those combines in the field at the same time. That's what I was mostly ticked off about. Thanks for watching here my friend.

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

Good to see the Gleaner out picking, I know he is still dialing it in but the persistence he has will prevail!! Oh no on your JD, the struggles are real all the time. I could tell you were upset at yourself, but the Lord will steer you back to the bean field in 2 shakes of a lambs tail!! As to say, just a minor speed bump, nothing major ..just aggravating I know🥺 Look fwd to seeing more, and prayers for a speedy fuel system repair!! Thank you for bringing us along, look fwd to more Mr SBF 😁👍☕

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

If you're on a PC you can see the detail timestamp and see how long it took me to get through from your last comment in the last video up to this comment in this video. I'm really burning it up with that 10 words a minute typing I do. 🤣

@@SoybeanFarmer3300 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦 I totally understand that, probably about 3 more than I could do 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you my friend, I should quit commenting back so you can catch up 😂😂😂😂

The best way to learn a lesson is the hard way. I’m sure that fuel filter will be a seasonal thing from now on.

[@TrippieNate5]

The old saying, if it ain't one thing it's another.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Yep. Nathan thanks for dropping by the channel.

[@billwhitman1529]

Something I'm not sure of but every Gleaner F, K, M, L I ever ran had a floating cutter bar which I didn't see Cousin utilizing if your head hasn't had it removed from. The Gleaners made a decent head. Get the rotor speed right and shives set right and it did a pretty good job. Some fuel treatment might help you avoid some problems... we use Lucas or 911.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Best I can tell this Gleaner K combine head has a fixed cutter bar. I'm glad cousin knows how to dial in a combine his first Hopper was full of trash but by the end of the game he had it dialed in nicely. Bill thank you very much for dropping by watching videos supporting this channel.🙂☕

[@Rdrake1413]

Lack of maintenance is the biggest cause of break downs. Seen it all the time when I worked as a mechanic for John Deere. Taking care of the small things can save you a big headache later.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

You're spot-on correct about that and it was nothing more than my own negligence. I certainly hope I haven't caused irreversible damage in this engine.🤔

[@robertmeszaros5439]

Soybean Farmer. On my 7700 I changed the oil and fuel filter 2 times a year. Cut 500 ac of wheat and 500 ac of beans. They say you can run them for both because of the hours on them but it's not worth taking a chance on it.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Robert, as I look back I have defined the entire thing and summed it up as negligence on my own part and yes it did cost me the filming opportunity I had been hoping for, yep slipped right through my diesel fuel soaked fingers.☹

[@clarkwheeler8764]

A good day at the farm is pretty much tied in to how little stuff breaks or tears up. Got to take the good with the bad and Trust God!!

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Well said Clark actually very well said.

[@farmingforfunandprofit940]

Don't get out of whack just yet......Had that problem symptoms also and it wasn't a clogged filter.....Too much back pressure on pump......I ended up knocking the ball out the check valve on the hi-cycle and the 4010 by separating the pump return line to the tank from the injector bleed off return line

[@lancebass9883]

Yea I knocked the ball out of my 2640 and it ran good..........for about 2 years, then I had to rebuild the injection pump

[@farmingforfunandprofit940]

@@lancebass9883 A Friend of mine(diesel mechanic) told me it may last 2 minutes, 2 hours, 2 days, 2 months 2 years

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Hi Lance great to see you here at the channel.🙂 That check ball has an interesting side effect resulting from its original function. It's a natural trash pickup point and when enough trash causes the malfunction you are forced to go and clean it out. I believe the trash got there because I didn't change the filter soon enough and it was being forced through the filter by the mechanical lift pump. My negligence.🤔

[@23aviatorguy]

It’s pretty much impossible to not have at least 1 or 20 break downs during harvest season, it can be very frustrating. My grandfather leaves his equipment out in the weather, so he is always having breakdowns.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

I count it as a hundred thousand blessings when I get through a particular function with a particular piece of equipment and the equipment is still running and functional.🙂

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

special K getting it done 👍 Dirty fuel is a pain! Get er done 👍

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

We got to figure out how to slow that paddle reel down it's a bit too fast but other than that combine did a fine job. Ed thank you very much for being here supporting this channel.🙂

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

@@SoybeanFarmer3300 hmm.. might have to find a different sprocket, if the variable speed doesn't get slow enough, but it should 🤔

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Cousin says there is no variable speed on that reel setup. But for someone like you who has built a sprayer system amongst other things, that shouldn't be an issue right?

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

@@SoybeanFarmer3300 lol.. I wondered.. on the later, bigger machines, they used a variable shive drive, same as the variable drive for the transmission..

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Mine uses a hydraulic motor. I got a broken knob in the cab I can turn and change the speed.

[@crslyrn]

Dang the luck. Good to see Cousin Scott & his Ol' Gleaner stepping up to help out. Hope either you or Cousin Scott can get a clip of both of your outfits going in the field. Hope you got the fuel issue taken care of. Take care.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Scott got the absolute best one in his video it looks like we're going to play chicken with our combines. I managed to get just a few seconds of him in his combine filmed from me in my combine on the third and final day.

[@gregrhodes8451]

I feel your pain sbf. Enjoyed the video

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Thanks Greg.

[@thomasmarti5856]

you mean combining beans :) After all your are in a combine . yeah i know i''m from the north.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Thomas that's it exactly! the formal English expression describing what is actually occurring between the machine and the plants. So then with this I could actually say, he was out 'combining corn' last October and enjoying his Gleaner K combine.🙂

[@thomasmarti5856]

@@SoybeanFarmer3300 Yes! Exactly!!!!:)

[@thomasmarti5856]

@@SoybeanFarmer3300 i think it is because you can harvest different grain types..maybe in different areas of the country.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Sounds very reasonable I'll go along with that👍

[@bryansloesshillshomestead4523]

Nice combine in it's day. These old combines sell fairly cheep at farm auctions. Need to watch for them so you can have a few around for parts.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Yep the Gleaner K the new addition to our little family farm. I believe the little combine is actually going to earn its keep. Thanks very much for watching the video I hope you'll come back and enjoy the rest of the series of the 2021 Harvest.🙂

[@TAHDAHFarm]

Man that stinks. Hope you get everything going. It would be cool seeing you with a 6600 next year cutting beans, lol.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

The opportunity to purchase the well-kept good running 6600 is just rattling all around inside my head. It Seems like by now there's a country song in there about it. 🤔

It's no sweat it will get done . Thanks for answering a question I had was you 3300 gas or diesel ? Now I know thanks for the I feel dumb video. I'm not the only person that forgets the small details.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Tom thanks for being here watching and I hope you can enjoy the rest of the series videos for the 2021 Harvest.

[@w056007568]

That is not good news about your combine, however it seems that a change of filter will get it going again all being well but buy two because you need one straight away and you will need another once you have removed and cleaned the fuel tank if not before you finish harvest!

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Okay A bit of a spoiler alert I changed the filter then cleaned the ball valve three more times before completing the Harvest. On each cleaning of the ball valve there was a noticeable amount of grit and debris. Thinking over the several days it took to complete the Harvest I look back and remember putting 10 gallons of fuel in the combine on the night before the morning where I would have cranked it for that day's work. I ran all day no problems great power good run. Next morning I poored 10 more gallons in. Now look at what happened on the inside of that tank when that fuel came rushing in, debris in the bottom of the tank being stirred up... then only minutes later I cranked the combine. This was the day I had the most problems forcing the filter change. Upon examination of the filter it was determined it should have been changed last year. My negligence cost me a filming opportunity with my cousin in his combine in the field with the 3300.☹

[@williammatzek4660]

That is the only k gleaner i've ever seen. What model is your john deere? That was a good looking field of beans. What did they make? Some of are beans made 52.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Cousin brought the K here last year and this year he got it running to pick beans as well as corn. We got the corn off back in October. My John Deere is a year 1976 model 3300 diesel. Thank you very much for being here watching I hope you'll come back soon.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

I'm mostly ticked off about how it cost me a filming opportunity where cousin had his combine in the field at the same time with my combine. the little bit of footage I got later in the series is a poor representation of all the fun we actually had out there together. Thanks for watching and sharing your sentiment.
