Struggles Make Victory So Much Sweeter- From Stuck To Everything Filled Harvest Continues

[@elliskev2]

Keep it all going Chris. Way to push on and get it done.

[@ElysiumNZ]

Looking forward to spring so we can see how your ground fares after the tiling work you did. Hopefully you can plant on time and not worry about ground being too wet.

[@williamspates1015]

Just a suggestion if your driveway is that icy hook up your disc and run over it lightly to break the ice up then you can push ice out of driveway. we use to do it years ago so milk truck could get in and out.

[@tractorboy31]

I was thinking the same thing😊

[@georgesprangers2395]

Done that and done it with a silage facer as well. Works nice and roughs up whats left nice.

[@williamspates1015]

@@georgesprangers2395 Are farm Lane was exactly 1 mile long pretty much down hill all the way all winter we pulled milk truck out every other day. Back in early 90's had bad ice storm from melt and refreeze ice would get 4-6 inches solid we used IH 1206 and miller offset disc go out the lane and plow back with V-blade on front of 1206 get ice cut out.

[@johnhenderson299]

That's great your combine is working well for you this season

[@billdwyer7897]

So Much Work by Yourself, Impressive! You have Good People around You ,Awesome

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Hello Chris what a pain snow is. Its beautiful to look at but tractor's and trucks no traction. Enjoyed your video have a great day.

[@toddlowery1738]

I hope harvest keeps rolling good for you buddy . Most of all I hope your health gets better . Can't wait to see what's on store next

[@davechristel5408]

Nice to have a friend like Larry!!

[@jeffmcbride469]

Way to battle! Have enjoyed watching you fight through!

[@carl2755]

for the future, perhaps you could make a 3ph weight block that you could quickly hook onto with the 7520 to help with situations like this one where you needed to haul the truck up the drive way

[@LesterkyArms]

Hey Duffy thank you for showing you working on combine i found that very interesting glad to see it worked out for you and you came a long way

[@danielledaniels3537]

Thanks for letting us know what you found out with your hydraulic pump and I’m glad to hear it is still working fine!

[@perttikauppinen2353]

I can only imagine what kind of losses come from the screening when the snowy stuff is fed into the machine .

[@HaimieMitchell]

hi chris from alberta just wrap some tape around the wires there are brushes in the housinglike on a alternator; to supply power to clutch , closed that port gives you more volume which those lift cylinders need , found out same problem on grain truck but had to swap pumps

[@dailesperry8256]

Slow and steady gets it done good work

[@neilmclean5684]

Get a tandem load of sand you can use theFEL to sprinkle on the driveway not the prettiest but I did it for years for the milk truck

[@RandyHunt19]

Chris you had a great day thank god Larry helped you out a bit. Just one man short is all there would take a lot of pressure off you. I’m sure you will be happy when your harvest is complete. Would you have 50,000 bushels when finished? I can see if you had a place to dump or store corn be a real asset. One tandem truck hauling from combine when it was dry at 15.5 % and a large bin to hold it sure would help your operation. It all stems back to seeding 2 to 3 weeks earlier and that would have saved you a lot of stress but we all learning together..good luck with the rest of the harvest…also get a load of gravel dumped in your yard and when shit gets icy take the 27 and a bucket full and sprinkle it on the driveway so your ass isn’t so puckered you couldn’t drive a flax seed up it with a sludge hammer… know all about ice with trucks not a great feeling!

[@kapekodbob]

Wow, you are tenacious man !

[@wandabuchholz6508]

Good job, my friend .Keep up the good work, keep the corn rolling and keep the trucks sunny side up, my friend, and try not to get stuck . Thanks, Larry, for helping Duffy. He needs a full-time helper ,Chris work on that for next year, 2025, and someone buy Chris a hammer. Lol

[@rogerfrank1256]

Sure glad to know the dog doesn't have thumbs.

[@phillipdickinson8557]

Great job Chris enjoyed it thank you

[@dalesteffen985]

Duffy When you were talking about getting a sander for the lane, which will work good for ice with very little snow. But watch farm sales and see if you can get some chains for the pusher tractor, if you get snow on top of the ice tires need the grip. Keep pushing thru.

[@elliskev2]

hey Chris, my wife had a round of anaplasmosis this last summer. Kind of a wierd thing to come down with. Hope you can get a clean bill of health soon.

[@WilliamStevens007]

That looked a real battle at times Chris, But you got some badly needed help from Larry. Nearly at the end of harvest.

[@robertz2557]

i was out in rocherster ny area last week and there was still a lot of corn in the fields out there too. great video. have they determined what you have yet. my father in law had some weird tick illness a few years ago was very rare its called babesiosis or piroplasmosis.

[@wysurvivor]

Ex oilfield guy here, just use the Johny bar when breaking on ice, you can also throw chains on the trailer.

[@brendanleis6411]

We ran a 7700 which had the same electric clutch set up. We never used it, and left it engaged all the time, starting the head with the threshing system. The only time we ever pushed that electric clutch button was when we about to plug, which never happens in corn anyway. There’s a mechanical function to that and every time you use it, it’s wearing out, so our thought was leave it engaged and it will last longer mechanically. Maybe we wore the drive belts faster though starting the separator with the head engaged?

[@judythymian3469]

You gotta get that driveway wider👍

[@michaeljones7233]

Good luck from Michigan harvesting the snow sucks

[@PughFarms]

You could load the fertilizer trailer, we've used ours for overflow then just auger into semi later.

[@miketrowbridge8469]

Funny you mentioned snow fence, our farm was west of Batavia the County used to drop off snow fence to farmers which we put in and they picked up in spring also sand is really cheap but if you could get cheap grade rock salt that will melt thru to sections sand will only cover top and will spin right thru

[@David-di5bi]

Hi duffy hope you fealing. Better ,dave durham uk

[@robertburey4704]

Larry is a stand up guy

[@nilesthoma4880]

Keep after it....ending will be good

[@johnsandell4501]

PRODUCTION!!! YAHOOOO 👍👍👍

[@benbiegel4683]

I had the same wire on my 4400 come off 2 days ago from the plug I just crimped a new connection on it and rebooted it on not the first time it has happened

[@user-dz8xv3vb4e]

Work on a fue difrent pumps and most if you run 3 lines to pump you need to put a caller in suction line may be the issue

[@dannyMaC2010]

Love the content just be mindful of yourself. Take care of yourself first buddy

[@EugeneMartin95]

Some single action hydraulic cylinders have bleeder srews and some don't my reel lift cylinders on my grain head has them then when I replaced a hose on my combine feederhouse lift cylinder and those didn't have any

[@DarrellRobinson-ob1sk]

Hook chain to quick hitch we made bar with clivce To pull things on wet years won't beleave the diffence

[@bulldog2289]

Hope your feeling better

[@morgcharfarms]

Wood or coal ash works wonders on an icy driveway

[@4051a]

If you have a Commercial hydraulic pump, there is a sleeve that goes in the return port of the pump. It has been a long time since I messed with one, I can't remember when the sleeve is supposed to be in or out.

[@leinie6683]

Rootin for you to get it done! Stay safe . Just one thing- brush the snow off your hoods and roofs- Act like its not your first winter🤣

[@humveekid]

that makes to much sense. its like telling him to wash his hands or take a shower.

[@douglasskersick9598]

Doesn't winter suck lol....Chris I think next year plant a earlier maturity corn my friend....lol...be safe and watch your health...MERRY CHRISTMAS

[@whitby910]

Good stuff.

[@fredscott9090]

From an area gets slick snow truck on 235's will output that 46 with the diff lock would do better. Keep up the good work .

[@imenriched]

Chugga Chugga....i think I can, I think I can...Chugga chugga up that hill. County raod Dept should be moving that snow off & salting and sanding that hill.

[@williamhyney9640]

Work at small town, we sand our farms and small business driveways when needed. Ask the town.

[@davidandrews2306]

how are you doing with the wet corn do you get charged for it /??

[@waynejones5239]

You get docked unless someone needs some wet corn or beans if the place that he takes it to needs some wet corn to mix with to dry stuff then no dock

[@mikewagar62]

does your county road mix sand with road salt? A little sand mixed in is really nice on slippery hills

[@jasonlafferty297]

I wander if you can use a leaf blower to blow that snow out the back?

[@lorengolliher2712]

Duffy out there getting her done baby let that big dog eat on that Hill keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep watching and cheering you on

[@dsvidhill3409]

Sometimes you just cannot keep up with a struggle bus.

[@tribeof2035]

We are farming with Duffy and Yenko. Maybe talk a bit more about commodity pricing and what you have planned for next year and seeing how that tile work and drainage work you did will improve yields.

[@randywilliams3246]

Just buy a load or two of modified stone and keep it in the shed for days like that. When you need a scope or two to put on the driveway for traction.

[@waynejones5239]

He is out of shed space at the moment

[@KellyBenedix]

One stack, MACK baby!!!

[@shignig383]

Tire chains never heard of them I guess

[@timengler9979]

Now I remember why I moved where we seldom get snow.

[@waynejones5239]

Ii😅you have the right equipment it's not bad

[@Rumblestrip]

Where your goin... You dont need roads..... Just a flying Delorian! Lol

[@timaustin110]

How are you feeling now are you feeling better

[@350mack]

Sometimes let the torque do the pulling 😊

[@TimmyJohnson-i6c]

What is going on with the kenworth you have not gave us an update for awhile just wondering I was hoping to see it hauling corn

[@GlenGonyea]

Since when did we start bleeding air off of Pistons on hydraulic systems?

[@curtisowens4588]

Chris, what about getting some boots for Yenko I have seen some nice ones for dogs. I am sure he isn’t going to like them at first but he will get used to them and stop ripping off his nail. Is it the same nail as last time?

[@Nobody-Nowhere-USA]

That sample is looking really clean, great job!

[@TheEasystart]

Awsome 🌽🎍

[@allenermey8857]

You get your kenworth back? You gona get a hopper bottom trailer for it?

[@larryshipman248]

John Deere should have put Differential lock on those big tractors.

[@waynejones5239]

It was a option so how it was ordered

[@bryanG4020]

With all them guys you run silage with doesn't any of them have a grain kit for the silage box!?

[@billkroczyk3749]

Put some studded snow tires on one of them they're electric bikes LOL😅😅😂😂😂

[@jimkavalier2831]

Ice road trucking again.....?? Going have to chain up the mack if I learned anything from that show! 😂 You appear to be feeling better??

[@KCAATV]

Am I in a time warp? I thought you had finished?

[@miketrowbridge8469]

Regards sand see if you can get sand/salt mix but make sure is at least 7 parts sand 2 parts salt but higher salt mix better Many commercial plow guys have gone to straight salt but more expensive but salt on straight ice is the best

[@billkroczyk3749]

Chevron in the trailer I was good for your heart yeah right

[@1960teko]

Great to see corn coming off the fields with snow on the way.

[@barry2062]

Where is the kw?

[@robreesor5011]

Its in the shop being looked over by the engine builder because he heard a weird sound coming from it. Thinks it may be something to do with the jakes but never know so best play it safe and have it checked over.

[@johnmotto9782]

Tire chains, still working and not feeling good

[@miketrowbridge8469]

Hammers not gone you'll hit in spring in field prep

[@wolfonthehill5134]

Or when he shreds corn stalks

[@guydaubenspeck9206]

LOL we lost the grill and the headlights out of a are 464 international shredding stocks and we haven't found it I am assuming it's in pieces I have a new one here to put in when we have a minute this winter

[@kevinkevlar8050]

the new pistons are self bleeding Chris

[@mikeroma5748]

Too bad you didn't know a good welder to fix the tailgate so the chute lines up properly

[@stephenbutz2621]

Those roads were really sketchy😮 but you did it !!!

[@sharolbangerter4057]

You should get some chains on your truck !

[@stephenharvie1404]

Hi Chris you need to have a chat with the engineers at deer to redesign their tractors and etc so they can be driven without the use of thumbs lol wouldn't yenko love that?

[@aaronb1300]

Keep pushing, almost done. Then hibernate your ass until you're healed up.

[@aaronb1300]

Winter project...some type of chute/hatch on silage Mack.

[@billydeesullivan537]

Do you have a wheel to put on the gravity wagon? Maybe you can get a little more corn storage out of it.

[@burryhulbertjr1429]

Great video Duffy!! Proud of you n stay tuff!! Oh,! Please 🙏 tell Yanko hello n sorry for his foot.!! He's our buddy too!! Hopefully harvest can get done n you n him can get some much deserved rest.!! 😊😅

[@mweisen1001]

You should get chains for your trucks

[@joeblair1532]

Invest in tire chains

[@billkroczyk3749]

Sorry glare ice

[@BrandonDuufisss]

Your getting it done Matee

[@humveekid]

bro disc your driveway if you"re not going to plow it before driving over it.

[@petersmith446]

need snow chains

[@peterwoollard288]

Bushel in bin Dollars in bank

[@anthonybarton2103]

Hello Daffy 👋 maybe some auto chains ⛓️ for the Mack.

[@debelibobo]

Is road salt legal in the US for unpaved surfaces? If it is, buy some, spread it and no problems with your driveway icing over... Keep up the good work! Best regards from Croatia!

[@gerrylee4907]

my thoughts exactly, salt has given me traction to move machinery up steep lane ways.

[@dannystubblefield5478]

Hardest working Man on youtube---lets go DuffyAG

[@billkroczyk3749]

I don't care if you have a million it doesn't mean anything when you're angry ice

[@emilhuggarn3050]

Good evening

[@gavstephens2313]

Hey duffy stop saying Yenko doesn't know how to run the buggy, that shis is getting old!!! HE KNOWS HOW TO RUN IT, HE HAS A PHYSICAL DISABILITY THAT PREVENTS HIM DOING IT!!
