Equipment Engineers Can Kiss My Rear... Wheat Harvest #6 (6/14/24)

Matt gets heated and goes on a rant about the intelligence of the engineer that designed the chopper system on CaseIH combines after he has a bearing go down. Carter gets some exercise chasing local wildlife out of the field. Matt explains the difference between bearded and beardless wheat. Matt has to buy an expensive puller to fix his combine.

Your blessed to have some really good help Matt, it's hard to find someone today that you can send to do a job and not only do they get it done they take pride in the outcome !!

[@gregeconomeier1476]

It is great that farmers are able to readily (at a cost) obtain data on yield if they run real life, well thought out, experiments in the field. Just like Mr Griggs is doing here. The problem I am concerned about is the farming economics that are being strained to the limit by all this new "technology". How to make smart decisions is absolutely necessary for family farms to succeed.

Hello from northern Wyoming, thanks for yhe video

[@dukapaducha]

Another super job on the filming. You have a good grasp on making even repetitious things interesting by your subtle placement of cameras. I really and truly enjoy the videos you show. Thanks a lot

[@BillMorris-sx7vi]

Good evening Griggs farm, glad you got your combine back running. Good luck with the rest of the harvest. I hope y’all had a great Independence Day weekend. Take care and God bless

[@Wyomingfarmer]

The low speed belt is always running the right side of the machine, hence the shaft in a shaft.

[@davidpenwell7418]

I see that style snap ring all the time there's one on the inside of a turbo housing on a board waggoner 366 as well sometimes on your wheel bearings

[@davidkimmel5153]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts

[@davidwhisnant3230]

John Deere uses some of those snap rings

[@nielhelfert6834]

I’ve had to drill holes in the end of the snap ring to get it out

[@allenwalters9068]

7250 i have now is a pain shifting chopper, 7230 had bearings go out of that slide deal cutting wheat was a major pain

[@Thegrim326]

I agree we've tried pivot bio 2 years in a row never seen a difference tried envita last year and seen a big difference compared to pivot bio

[@owensanford482]

Carter's "GOT WHEELS!!!" And in crocks!

[@ambojt1480]

hi, I think you dontunderstood the design of low and high speed, the small wheel high speed drives only the chopper, the big wheel low speed drives the whole right side of the combine plus sieves, if you move the clutch to low speed (big wheel) one belt drives almost the whole combine. .. and the small wheel rotates freely on the axis sorry for my english i hope you understand ☺

[@danswerdy7313]

I had the same problem on my combine. I was replacing the bearing 3 times a year. I had to install a new chopper. You might have get your chopper rebalanced,

[@stevebiddle8912]

Good video Matt. Engineers should be required to disassemble their designs!!

[@user-en6mf1cc2x]

I agree totally about engineer over thinking things I like the chopper on my old 2588 and my 7088 I run now

[@rogerpadgett3189]

Maybe you need to change COLORS the dig G color. 😂😂😂 Worked on ours some times you fell like taking a big Hemmer to it hang in there you will get it.

[@rogerpadgett3189]

😊

[@jackoxendine9206]

7240 and the 7250 has basically the same thing.

[@jeremyensley3693]

The low speed pully is what powers the elivator, rethrasher, shaker, and the chopper for low speed. High speed pully only runs the chopper when ingaged. It makes sense why there are so many bearings. Is a wheat soybean double crop more profitable than corn on average?

[@griggsfarmsllc]

Wheat-soybean doublecrop is typically my most profitable

[@ErVan_AG]

How many hours on that chopper ? Wondering if I should replace those bearing in my 8120 before they pile up.

[@shoresharp8349]

Hey Matt wonder what your thoughts are on Juan Deere and there dei company policies. Juan Deere has gone bud light if you catch my drift.

[@griggsfarmsllc]

I have never been a fan of corporate John Deere

[@chuckstewart5154]

I know it hurts, but think about how many things did NOT break. It's pretty obvious God's got his hand on your operation.

[@user-mi5kz5vi1t]

We had the same thing happen on our combine this wheat harvest. I had some choice words for that design too. It may be ok for those guys up north that are switching back and forth from corn and beans a lot but I agree with you Matt it's a BAD design.

[@timnichols9015]

No tools to move from high to low. Very likely a mandatory design criteria. NOT the fault of the engineer. Blame the marketing department.

[@kentuckyfarmer2192]

You sure you having a lot combines issues i feel that had that a few years ago

[@casperghst42]

Unfortunately, these days, many engineers do not have practical experience in the field they work in. "Younger, more athletic guys..." 😂 Always a pleasure to see your tubes.

[@Tiuuuu752]

Tylen love ❤❤😊

[@user-kz8hs9ff4c]

Been there done that it doesn't mater what color equipment is it all junk when broke down

[@owensanford482]

Was all this wheat planted with the Bourgault Air Seeder?

[@griggsfarmsllc]

Yes

[@brandonthomas-xg4no]

Matt I got a question did you drill some holes in that snap ring to make your life easier to put it back in?

[@griggsfarmsllc]

No

[@brandonthomas-xg4no]

@@griggsfarmsllc ok thanks for the response

[@todd1808]

Can we assume the conversation you would have with the engineer would be less than pleasant???

[@griggsfarmsllc]

I would start off friendly. Don’t know if I would end that way…

[@SteveGibbons-td9tk]

Matt I have said that for years I believe the engineer's set around the tables at some country club and after a few beers go well what can we screw up on a peice of equipment that when it breaks will just thurally piss off that farmer and they get a notification when someone has to order that part and sit there and laugh there ass off

[@martywade5519]

Gotta be quicker than that

[@jdrogers8720]

As and OLD Mechanic / tech that has worked on cars, trucks Construction equipment and 38 years as a Ag mechanic YEP i know where your coming from . Now on TOOLS , my god you are never done BUYING TOOLS . I work on primarily I H stuff and he best tool buy i ever got is when i went to a closing I H dealer and i got about 90% of the shop and all the I H special tools including the HYD. Flow rater . Took me two trips with a one ton ford with a 9 foot flat bed stacked above the roof to haul it all home and what i did not get i went to another I H dealer going out and got the rest. . Sorry i am Now in your back yard so a service call that far is out of the question.

[@griggsfarmsllc]

I agree. No matter how many tools you’ve got, it seems you’ve never got the right one

[@jarrodwemhoff7270]

Snake oil is what I call it. Some might be decent but the majority are just a gimmick.

[@CateDaugherty]

18:54 Easy like John Deere.

[@colthofer3752]

you think it was a farmer that did that engineers wife or a mechanic maybe both huh

[@jayhuff4674]

They design stuff so people won't want to work on it so the company makes mor money

[@michaelpearson1367]

So get a 1480,105,TR70 or Gleaner then you'll be happy!

[@CateDaugherty]

0:59- 7:02 I don’t understand the numbers you’re saying related to your plots, I understand the yield and everything else Agriculture related but what you’re say here about data and plots goes over my head.

[@lukethurman2672]

Go green

[@millardhayes1884]

I want to scream everytime I raise the hood of a car or truck and see the designs of this crap they build.

[@user-ry2bb6yo3p]

Matt im a international guy but you are having a lot of bad luck with that combined
