Fixing A Broken Combine

[@randybedker1584]

Glad to see Cooper is now working on the farm full-time. He very mechanically smart and should save a lot of time and money for the farm.

[@joannecooper4592]

I am constantly wowed by how much mechanical ability is required to keep farm equipment going. You guys are so knowledgable and even know when to stop what you're doing and "wait for Ryan'. Good job, guys,

[@JT-1969]

I hope with the half million in parts and all the time you’ve invested that your combine runs like a dream with no issues this fall!

[@oxfordmontello3281]

With all the money, time and parts put into this machine it better run like a Deere. LOL

[@Hackerskeephacking]

Kentucky blue Grass yard clippings, just add water and stir once or twice a day in a 55 gallon drum: Fresh grass clippings are high in nitrogen and potassium. Gather up your clippings next time you mow the lawn, fill a bucket 2/3 full of them, add water and steep 3 days, stirring daily. Fertilizer teas are fast-acting and free. Apply them no more than every two weeks or when your plants need a boost.

[@oliviafox3605]

Your family's work ethic is mind blowing!!!! Thank you for taking us along.

[@discretecinema8451]

Nice to see you guys are able to help each other fix things as a team, my family business is all on me for maintaining the machines so it gets quite stressful at times. Keep up the good work cornstars

[@dhanakhei9911]

More goes into being a farmer than most people realize, teamwork is awesome, great to see you guys working together love it ! 3 handsome men too !

[@pamelairvin3164]

What a difference on the farm; the nearly clear junk grove, the rocked bin site driveways...all of it. I don't know a thing about mechanicals but that doesn't keep me from intently watching these maintenance videos!!! Stewardship is a blessing for those who understand the value of honest labor. Cost comparisons aside, Cornstar Farms is more than just a family business; you're a ministry!!

[@terrystephens1102]

Great to see the A team up and at it again ! Cooper never stops amazing me with his mechanical and welding skills. Great job, guys. Cole you won’t know where you are once those augers are gone 😵

[@beverlystufflebeam5731]

I’m might be wrong. But it seems Cooper can do anything. Amazingly gifted mechanically. And very young but handles the pressure like a man twice his age. I’m always impressed but what all of you take on can do. I’m almost 65 and I’m not sure I’ve seen very many people that have the work ethic y’all do. Yet, manage to work in some fun.

[@allanperry6507]

I love how your family works so well together . I'm sure like every family you have some tense moments when tempers flare but for the most part works getting done. 🙂smiles from Huntsville Ontario🤘Canada 🇨🇦🤘

[@CindysGems]

Cooper you shouldn’t be so shy, you explained things so well. Your a good welder & mechanic. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@deborahhenness1607]

Wow you guys are wonderful. You work so very hard all the time. I really enjoy watchung you. Thank you for all you do. Lots of love from Florida. God bless you all.

[@francessmith9043]

It's good to see the team working together !!! God's Blessings for a great season and safety for all !! You are an amazing family ,we love you !!!

[@ChrysanthsMum]

There is nothing better than having a mechanic/technician come in who knows what he’s doing.

[@sherribennett8071]

Your family is so skilled and amazing! This is how I imagined a family farm would be well run! ❤️🙏🏻

[@tomazskrlec5632]

From an old combine, you will make a new one. I hope everything works well or better than new. I also hope you don’t have as many harvest problems as last year. Great job

[@barrygrant2907]

A good video showing the upkeep farmers have to live with.

[@pattymcdonald239]

Impressive guys and your talents. Hope all your work and dollars put into the combine makes for a smooth harvest.

[@blueheronfarm3818]

I foresee yet another trip to the scrapyard for y’all this summer. Glad you know what you’re doing guys!

[@da20eclipse]

Amazing whats involved keeping all the farm machinery in working order. Harvest sure takes its toll on that combine...

[@sheilavanduynfote5539]

This really great to see Cooper more on the farm working, everyone of you guys are so talented and the knowledge you all bring to the farm is amazing. I loved this video watching the teamwork you guys have and the music was cool.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@loriwolfe422]

Hope that the all the work on the combine makes for a more productive year! Hopefully no more issues & this will be an awesome year for the family! My prayers are with you and your family Cole! Keep up the good work and videos, miss you guys when nothing is posted!

[@tomcleghorn4005]

I gotta remember that guarantee! Nice too see all hands on deck for those repairs!!

[@frankcava8073]

Cooper never ever ceases to amaze me. He is so skilled.

[@banjobenson9348]

Yes he could get more done with out the little screamer too.

[@IanJames56]

They may be expensive in maintenance, but very good ROI! 10x better than 20 years ago. Thank god for Coop!

[@dalegereaux1863]

You got more pieces and parts on that equipment than a fella could count ! I guess it's a good thing you got Ryan. 😉 It's interesting to see the inner workings of that combine.

[@steveneal2706]

nice video Cole. So good to see dad and Cooper. thank you

[@trebornesregrot]

I lost my dad before we could work like that, enjoy it! I loved learning from him and just being around him!

[@juanitawilsongay7832]

Alright new gravel!!! I have no idea what yall are doing but glad yall know what yall are doing, being Farmers an all.. Keep up the Great work. Love the Corn Stars!!♡

[@hsimpson6581]

That song at the end makes me happy ! Not sure how I feel about that feeling....

[@janahunter3833]

Love this channel. So nice to see Cooper more

[@mindi.m]

I have to be honest, I don't know how that operation would run without Cooper. Wow! The bin site looks impressive from that angle.

[@NinfaCarpentergeorgia198]

Good job editing Sommer!!! Right up Cole’s ally!!!! He’d be proud!!!

[@andreabrisbane228]

That was fantastic, thanks Cole. Can’t believe how much goes into a big a machine like that, love Andrea 🇦🇺

[@GICK117]

It's really nice now to watch a great video from you'all and absolutely no "bin drama". You're probably going thru the mill on it all, but it's nice just to watch farming with a nice family and not "as the world/new bin site turns".

[@TheRam273]

Just in case y’all haven’t heard it lately THANK YOU for the hard work👊 Thank God then thank a farmer without either one your up a creek without paddle and hole in the boat.

[@jdbnomad]

Thanks for ramping up the videos Cole! I appreciate it =)

[@Captdal]

The joy of buying used! But now it new! Hope it works better this year!

[@geraldsundberg3610]

A lot of things need looking after in order to not have break down during harvest. Nice job guys.

[@angelacross2216]

Great cinematography!

[@bearke7468]

I like the editing on 2.16 where the hammer knocks at the rythm of the music👌

[@connieverbeck1110]

I so love watching your clean up!! So impressed how you take care of your equipment, too! Preventative maintenance is so valuable!! Great work you three!!

[@lindabrockett3741]

So much work. God Bless you all.

[@rodjava]

Cooper deserves a raise!

[@karenrainy304]

I miss seeing u everyday but been nice seeing u more lately

[@andreacrashe9894]

Cooper is so great with that welder... 🙂 Cole lets hope all is ready when you start planting soon. 🙂 DC no wise wise words of wisdom today....! 🙂

[@ElizaBeth-ng3pu]

I am continually amazed at how makers of farm equipment create planned obsolescence.

[@ColeTheCornstar]

Just like tires or brakes on a car, they eventually wear out after so much use.

[@ElizaBeth-ng3pu]

@@ColeTheCornstar true enough, but you have to pay extra for the sleeve to protect the chute and extra for the dust cover and extra for pretty much anything to extend the life of the parts… there are better ways to create and manufacture these parts and they just don’t.

[@jay90374]

@@ElizaBeth-ng3pu Sure they could build it stronger, but everything is a trade off, no one will buy it if it's too expensive!

[@simonemueller7693]

I love you guys making your own tools

[@markthomas7270]

This was a very good video of you all working together, but maybe you could do some voice over's of like what Cooper was telling us, as he was very hard to understand, after time stamp 4:18, understand I will add timestamps: from the 9:01 time stamp was hard to understand. Now you may understand him as you live with him but for us it's hard to understand, thanks!! You all have so much great information to give out guys, Thank you!!

[@thomasyerbey337]

Great video Cole and DC and Cooper it's almost time to plant 🇺🇲

[@utdallaz]

Amazing how much maintenance goes into the combine.

[@margaretagodfreyt6871]

I enjoy all these it always amazes me how hard all of you work

[@OMGRLYWTFHAX]

Hey keep up the good work on the videos; just a thought on the liner repairs in the future; if you took the part you ordered; and got the measurements on it, a fabrication shop could probably roll the steel ALOT cheaper then the kit cost.

[@chrisfarkas5225]

Good haircut Cole. Looking fit and cleancut.

[@bevnelson3678]

Awesome getting it sorted

[@lakeliving645]

I never thought that I would be sitting watching videos about people working on a farm. But I am so glad that I am because I have now gained a new respect for how much work it takes to produce food for us to enjoy. You folks are a dying breed and I salute you all.

[@dalegereaux1863]

The building sure looked nice and clean when you finished. I wonder if I could use a power washer on the inside of my house ? Maybe not, nevermind.

[@ronschmitt2495]

Another awesome video keep them coming👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Stay Safe and God Bless

[@bradb5027]

I can't believe how many wore out augers and tubes you are having on such a low houred machine! I know our neighbor replaces augers and tubes on his red combine very often too. Our 2009 lexion with 2800 sep hrs is still on all original augers and tubes and still quite a bit of life left in them.

[@banjobenson9348]

They bought a machine that was not cared for in the first place

[@bradb5027]

@@banjobenson9348 wore out augers and auger tubes really doesn't have anything to do with whether the machine was taken care of though...

[@RichAngus100]

CaseIH should pay Cole to take this video down. A machine designed to fail so u have to buy new every 2 years.

[@territ1231]

Cooper...how do you know all this stuff. On everything!!!??? Great job everyone 👏 👍

Growing up on a farm is an amazing education!

[@jasons9249]

It's great that you all work together to tackle the work on the farm.

[@daniel_millican]

Music from 1:10‐1:35 is fire🔥 🔥 Loved it weeks ago on a previous video. You should do a epic cinematic Cole. You are so detail oriented, it would be epic! Blessings from Texas!. Thank you for making such a effort to let people know about our Lord And Savior in how you approach everything! 😃

[@vidzofivi]

Nice timelapse in the end there :D

[@barbarastedillie1336]

Really loved watching this episode. Just you three working together and doing your thing getting ready for planting season....

[@chardavis9659]

This old fart loves seeing such smart, hard working young men. You are leading a generation.

[@purplepeoplesparty2368]

Would be interesting to see a repair/replace spreadsheet on this combine. My theory is that it is costing way more than anyone should expect to keep this machine running.

[@agger838]

30k+ is pretty typical for machine like that after 2000 hours

[@cathiwim]

Holy palmoly!no wonder farmers go out of business!

[@mindi.m]

Imagine the labor expense if Cooper wasn't around.

[@masterbates7016]

Agree that it seems pricey

[@leewalton3242]

It seems ridiculous too me. Its like nonstop repair.

[@BatchelderPatrick]

Yes!!!!! Great haircut Cole!!! Now drag U-no-who in and get his mane looking like a grown-up!!!

[@andreawolfkill5322]

Tell Cooper he’s so much more handsome without all that hair in his face! And, he’s amazingly smart!

[@wimpytigger7423]

Thanks a lot COLE Lighten up by week

[@Mark-br8mm]

It’s amazing how costly farm equipment is, and it seems there’s always repairs to be made.

[@shellygenter8585]

And now the combine has been rebuilt. Better behave this season!

[@melissameinders2454]

Cole, thank you for replying to my kids picture they mailed you. They were completely star-struck by your reply and their day was made when they got the mail today.

[@drafter3412]

Coop with his hair tied back.... giving off some serious Thor or Witcher vibes. 👍

[@chrisanthony579]

I couldn't appreciate how big that combine was until I saw Cooper standing on top and Cole on a ladder.

[@ErwinTipton]

I haven't did any welding in 30 years . But recently I got a side by side 3 wheel trike like the ones they rent out at the beach . Well they company that sold them are out of business . So I had to weld up a front handle bar with a stick welder and at first it didn't go well because I was burning holes in the metal so I switched to a lighter rod and it worked .

[@roryfletcher3156]

Seriously!?! You are obviously a whole lot more than a family farm. You are collectively a bunch of very specialised mechanics along with all other necessary skills you need. I suppose that's one of the major factors that makes this channel so fascinating. Along with your entertaining personalities of course.

[@jay90374]

Most farmers are the same!

[@born2soon]

I would imagine those parts were well worn before you folks put a season on them. How lucky you guys are to have the knowledge and talent to fix those machines.

[@skunkhome]

Being able to fix things is not a luxury it’s a necessity.

[@guzzimon61]

Having Ryan? look everything over costs money, but definitely money invested wisely. Knowing what to look for before it fails mid-season is worth the costs ..

[@pulkpuller]

It seems like the combine was gone through with what we call a “salesman sale ready machine” the budget to fix is only on the lipstick and the obvious not what is needed

[@jason3093]

I really enjoy watching your videos, thanks for making them.

[@lynpostlethwait3083]

Very great new video again for the shop

[@The_Charlie_Whiskey]

Cooper looks like part surgeon part mad scientist with a mullet. Still can’t imagine why a massive industrial plant on tracks moving across a bumpy dirty field at 10 mph working up to 24 hours per day would need constant repairs.

[@erickstiner1668]

What an excellent video of a group of men working well together.

[@jimpolk]

Great to see another video from you. Having withdrawals. I read Cooper is working full-time in the farm now. That will make things go much smoother. How's the mini debacle of the bin build resolving? Are you getting things fixed to your satisfaction?

I would definitely get my own magnesium plates cut for the liner and swap them out…we use them in abrasive machines used to clean steel …the life would be multiple times more then steel Also cover your bolt heads with rtv silicone and let that wear off not the bolts …you will have to re apply each season maybe twice but it helps

I can’t really explain it the best but it was on case IH combine group, if you ever felt like looking into it.
