Harvest Time - Between Corn and Beans

Odds and ends around the farm as we wrap up the last details of soybean harvest, and start moving towards corn harvest.

I keep looking for new videos you fellas do a great job can't wait for more!

[@timlueth7951]

Just wanted to say I miss your videos. I know they take time and life is busy.

[@nailedt0thecr0ss]

I like this guy . He seems like a friendly nice person. To bad he doesn’t have the time to make more videos. God bless.

[@ravenviewfarm]

I appreciate the kind words! Life just gets crazy sometimes and priorities have to shift, at least for a while. I have to be careful because I've said this before, but new videos are on the way.

[@douglasrusselljr7707]

Corn head runs nice and smooth. Looking forward to seeing it in action!

[@MeredithFarms]

I miss your videos very much, your operation is amazing and how you do things fascinates me. I hope all is well and I will keep checking for channel updates and I hope to see one soon! Hope you have a great new year

[@ravenviewfarm]

Thanks for your support Meredith! We're still here! Just had to take a break from the digital world and focus on some other priorities for awhile. Life!

[@philippriegler9623]

[@claytoncuster6030]

Great video. We look forward to the next one. Good luck with getting the crops in.

Love that john deere corn head grease. The grease that flows... I have it in a couple of gearboxes that have leaking seals and will not hold 80 90 oil. Great seeing you back

[@danielhurrle7008]

Great video, we have the beet juice in our Kubota. Lot less harmful.

[@richardharms8748]

Great video . Thanks for sharing.

Heh, the plywood sides on the head. Gotta love what people come up with for conditions the manufacture didn't design for.

[@ravenviewfarm]

Field modifications! All farmers love ‘em, but only some manage to pull them off in an elegant way.

Those 4-row corn heads do look big on a 4400, but it will handle it fine (as you have found out by now). One thing to be careful of: Not sure how hilly your ground is, but if you are headed down a steep hill or embankment and put the brakes on suddenly, all that weight out front can cause your rear wheels to come up off the ground. I had that happen a few times even though I had some weight added to the rear of the machine. Trying to find rear weights for my 4400. I noticed that your 444 corn head is a low tin model. My 444 is the high tin. Most parts interchange. They are a good head. Like you, I still plant wide rows.

[@gordoncarpenter1552]

I do 70 acres of corn with a 55 John Deere and a 444 corn head

[@pagrainfarmer]

@@gordoncarpenter1552 Does it make your machine front heavy?

[@gordoncarpenter1552]

@PA Grain Farmer not bad I have some steep hills just have to be careful nothing I worry about I've been on them all my life

[@RiverRatCatfishing]

Hey that is my cousin!

[@josephbrown4031]

Really enjoy your videos..... 👍 Good job

[@jefffirefighter12106]

I've got both corn heads a (444) & (443) for my 4400. It's quite a change from wide to narrow rows in the same day. Turning at the row ends I mean. Looks like a nice machine and heads though.

[@jeffferanec4526]

Thx 4 sharing!

[@ozz5350]

👍👏👏👏

[@garygrandadam7849]

Good vid. Haven't seen ya in awhile. Like Joseph said I always leave the drum on the corn setting. I also leave the feeder drive chain on the corn sprocket for cutting beans. Just slow the variable feeder drive speed down as slow as it will go. Learned this from a very good JD shop manager and an a farmer with far more experience than me. I haven't melted a grain platform down yet and I'm still running the old 7700. Have a great 2023 from Hayward, Wi.

[@josephbrown4031]

We never changed the drum height

[@ravenviewfarm]

Good to know!

[@josephbrown4031]

Laugh out loud that head shouldn't be running with you out of the seat

[@ravenviewfarm]

You’re absolutely right. We’re generally pretty cautious farmers (at least compared to some guys I’ve seen), but we still have our moments. And I guess for what it’s worth, the camera did make it look like I was closer to the running head than I actually was.
