As an adult who now lives in the city, but grew up in rural Kansas, I was attempting to explain to my four year old granddaughter where oatmeal came from when she told me she loved the hot cereal I made from steel-cut oats. This was so fun to watch and I just want to say thank you for making such a nice video! I had no idea the weather was so warm in Wisconsin!

[@allonan2361]

In Wisconsin the temps can go to either extreme during the summer we see some triple digit days and in the winter -20 to -40.

[@lileafire]

Having been raised on a farm in southern MN, I understand this very well. Thanks for your video - showing others how it's done :) I moved to east TN and bought my own farm whereon, I raised walking horses.

[@jaydee8850]

I really enjoy watching your videos since i grew up on a small dairy farm in southwestern Germany,not too far away from Mannheim,where the Deere tractor factory is located:-) I like your guys crop rotation,because you guys have an actual rotation and not just one or two crops you chase markets with...Your soil must be in a really good condition!

[@KRAEStratfordOne]

I love your videos. My parents live in the Great State of Texas. Panhandle to be exact and my Dad fans just as you do. I respect the Great farmers of America for all they do in order for the world to have the sustenance for the foods we eat. Thanks. Ryan G. From Jersey here.

[@tmorril]

Very interesting video and I enjoyed watching it. My mother grew up on a farm in western Kansas and I visited as a child. I'll never forget looking out over the endless expanses of wheat blowing in the wind like waves on the ocean. This video reminds me of that.

[@seukfuhi]

I know nothing about farm work, but oats have been the no. 1 ingredient to my diet for a few years, so thanks a lot for contributing to produce the greatest food ever ;)

[@BethDonovan1]

I love watching how things are farmed. I only grow brome hay for my angora goats and my two horses, and I have a farmer come and bale it for me every year.

[@decnijfkris3706]

we did also oats early in the season and then sell it to the mill.we fouund that this oats straw was softest and contained no dust, just like you.we had clayson and new holland in that time.hauling in a mouthful.

[@maidy3]

We loved watching your video. Thank you for sharing!

[@imeldaaliado3774]

I was curious on how oat crops are like or how it looks like so I stumbled on this video. there's no much difference with the rice we plant in Philippines almost similar. thanks for sharing, it is informative for me

[@435now]

Yes you use the same header for small grains and soy beans. For combines you have a grain (or direct cut) header a pick up header for crops in a windrow and a corn head for corn

[@Ticky66MN]

Another great video. There is one job I do not miss. Nothing worse than oats dust...especially when it is 100 degrees. Keep up the great work on the videos. Thanks

[@abunchahooey]

Great video! I look forward to seeing your previoius ones. Farmers are the backbone of our country, so hats off to you and your hard work! I've never been to Wisconsin, but it looks very similar to where I live, which is S. Indiana. Glad we could share some of the horrible heat with you all, lol.

[@lukestrawwalker]

We combine corn here in early July, sorghum in mid-July. Typically it's pushing 100 degrees by noon, typically 98-99 degrees, sometimes over 100. When it's THAT hot, I've seen 600 bushel grain carts on those enormous diamond-tread floater tires push the gravel down through the asphalt... just leave perfect asphalt tire tread patterns behind them on the road fully loaded. Semi's do a number on the roads too when it's that hot. Later! OL J R :)

[@NCOHDairyFarmer]

We bale behind ours also. Head size has nothing to do with windrow size. It will make the windrow taller but not any wider. The width of the combine is what determines the windrow width. Need to move up to a 9600/9610 to get a wider windrow. They have about 10 inches more separator width and 1 more straw walker.

[@ThomasJamesMcNamara]

Thanks for describing the difference between straw and oats! Didn't know that haha

[@HowFarmsWork]

A 9510 is a much bigger step up from a 6620. We just bought our 9510 last year. We had a 6620 Sidehill.

[@Bevoin1970]

Nice video making on your part, speaking as a non-farmer, I found it interesting to watch, so thanks. Greetings from England...Paul :-)

[@sartainja]

At least you used the straw for bedding. We used to burn the wheat straw.

[@GarnettM]

Well for one thing it alot bigger than our old Oliver Combine back in the early 70`s I farmed for years Thanks for the vid I do like vids like this .

[@lukestrawwalker]

BAD when it's that hot... high risk of fires for both combines and balers... Saw a lot of white caps in the tank at 9:55... was that when you were doubling back on that narrow swath and taking in a lot of short straw and stuff from the sides of the head? Rest of the time it looked pretty clean, so I figured yall probably had the combine set right and running at a good speed most of the time... When we used to combine with our old Ford 640 (Claas Senator built in Germany painted Ford blue, imported by Ford and powered with a 300 inline six gas engine) in grain sorghum and corn, I pretty much ran with the fan wide open (had shutters to control airflow instead of variable fan speed like the Deere's) and run the chaffer wide open, and most of the time the sieve wide open. Worked pretty good-- didn't float any grain off the chaffer onto the ground, or off the sieves into the thresher return, yet still produced a good, clean sample. If I was getting broken cobs or too much glumes in sorghum, I'd narrow things down a notch or two. Those Claas machines really put a clean sample in the tank and don't leave grain on the ground! I run the BIL's 9600 Deere combine in soybeans and corn in Indiana helping him with harvest, and he runs a lot faster, but he puts a lot more crap in the tank. Personally I'd slow down a little (we combined at about 3-3.5 mph, sometimes 4, with an 18 foot head-- he typically runs at 4.5-5.5 mph with a 30 foot head in beans and an 8 row head in corn) so that it made a cleaner sample, but his response is "meh, it's all weight in the tank" so he runs as fast as he can go without riding grain out the back (well, TOO much grain out the back!) Difference of opinion I guess... Looks like yall were clipping right along with that 9510... REAL nice machine! I like that 9600 too... light-years ahead of our old early 70's Ford/Claas... Later and KUTGW! OL J R :)

[@BornRandy62]

the first guy I help in the autumn harvest runs a 6620, it combines a bunch of grain each fall. This year he had to run a windmill assist to get the wind damaged corn into the feeder housing. The 7720 run by the second guy would be able to dump over the top of the 6620 with clearance. 2nd guy just switched to the 7720 froma 6620 less than 5 years ago. metal internal parts out the back and thru the clean grain auger made that decision a reality. loud sounds then silence

[@Archivesman1]

Good job Ryan. I like your videos and learned that this harsh 2012 summer heat is also in Wisconsin. My wife and I were in Sheboygan last year for a week and it was nice then. Keep the farm videos coming. Something viewers might find interesting (I would) is the capacity of the 9510 combine. How much horsepower, grain bin capacity, acres per day harvested, width of header, etc. Just about 30 seconds on the technical part of the equipment would be great for gear heads like me.

[@patzchan1900]

Im eating oats ever since i read its health benefits then i got curious where this food comes from. this is fascinating.

[@MrCodythegreat]

another great video. i could combine all day. iv drove a couple deeres and a couple lexions, ahh the lexion lol. but i allways come home to my little massey 540. keep the awesome vids coming and great work .

[@NCOHDairyFarmer]

Nice video and a very good looking 9510. I've gotta ask why you run such a small head? We run a 25 footer on our 9500.

[@iowadairyboysFarms]

2012 was a good year for oats!

[@douglasmacarthur8775]

When I was a kid, the "old timers" used to say a good year for oats was a poor year for corn as corn needs the heat and oats likes it cool.

[@SassierNewt]

That harvester rocks!

[@Kariakas]

Nice harvest and combine, thanks.

[@dmbfan1912]

that 216 is in really nice shape for it's age. Looks like it still has steel tines on the reel. A lot of people are commenting on the size of the grain head. I now run a 216 on a 6620 titan II sidehill. If the head was any bigger, and the straw got rained on, it would be a huge mess and near impossible to rake or ted. The windrow from a 216 is big enough, especially for the size of your square baler. How did you adapt the 15 pin to the 9 pin on the dial-a-matic?

[@Wyomingfarmer]

Great video! sounds like there is a auger finger gromet out on the combine.

[@HowFarmsWork]

No it's just in very good condition :)

[@randymaylowski2485]

nice video of that :) and nice looking machines :)

[@johncgibson4720]

Wish more growing and consumption of oats in USA. Oats are much healthier than corn and wheat.

[@Kllrkrtt309]

On me and my dads farm we have 4 7700's and a 8820 Titan II.

[@jacobob20]

awesome video bud! really enjoyed seeing that combine at work.

[@2fast65]

great video man keep up the great work.

[@mitthrawnuruodo9]

Greetings from 2022!

[@NickGerrits-u9c]

My granpa had a stroke 2 days after u posted this planting late oats to pasture for the cows cuz it was so dry and not enough feed.

[@TangoSpiceCompany]

Very cool video! Know Your Farmer - Know Your Food!

[@rileytheman6634]

Great job!!!

[@RonTylerDVM]

Great video! Really enjoyed watching this.

[@bondoly66]

I like your channel

[@randymaylowski2485]

yeah if I remember right! it was partty damn hot here to on that day of year.

[@billwright2063]

Ryan, I just watched this and noticed that no one said anything about your singing. I'm guessing that it was "Born To Be Wild" by Steppenwolf. Did I win the contest? LOL

[@dsegan55]

A really well done video. Thanks.

[@BornRandy62]

boss is looking at a 9510. he switched to a 7720 from a 6620. He needs to stay on the small side since he still farms around stuff on the terraces IE trees and drain intakes.

[@TheRamil77]

Beautifully quickly excellently

[@57fitter]

I supose since you posted a year ago -theyve got that bigger header that meets your specs in their shed

[@switzerblitzer2701]

Nice oats crop...the corn really looks stressed! 110 degree weather will do that!

[@francovance1]

Excellent video!

[@steinderbush]

Nice video man, there is a lot off dryness in your country this summer so they told me!! Hope things get soon better for you guys !! Is there any small game on your huge plains?? like deer or hares??

[@MissArianaElizabeth1]

Nice video... making it look alot easier than I'm sure it actually is... :) Keep up the hard work.. God Bless:)

[@koryleague8833]

Stumbled on this video talk about a flash back considering the bin is gone and the one tractor but did I see some red paint hooked to a wagon

[@petergoettler1798]

Interesting,Thxs.

[@matts6887]

cool video; good job explaining what work is being done, etc. :)

[@NCOHDairyFarmer]

Forgot to add this 9510 holds close to 300 bushels because it has a hopper extension... AKA hopper topper.

[@theotstx34]

Very nice video!!!!......and nice product....but i have a question..why you have this 16feet header,i think you may have atlest 20feet, i have 16 in my nh tx34 because our fields are small and also have hills here

[@BornRandy62]

what is that a 30 foot table ? 8 rows for beans? and you took the chopper off the back to keep the straw stubble intact for baling.

[@savagenomore]

105 and still morning....man that's hot...

[@TangTuyetMinh1]

I love oat meal for breakfast.

[@TangTuyetMinh1]

oat meal for the diabetic like me :)

[@jamesburton1587]

+How Farms Work oats=proift

[@theaussiefarmer7279]

+How Farms Work, I drive a John Deere CTS here in Australia, I had a loud clicking coming from my header front much like yours, it was the metal bushing that the header drum fingers go through, they wear out sometimes, is this what the clicking was on your machine?

[@Jns27j]

Two things come to mind. Combine fire and the absolute love of milking cows when it's hot out. Sorry to say this but better you than me on a day that hot.

[@jimboyluzano5505]

Nice farm.

[@CuriousMindCenter]

Thanks. Nice video. Is glyphosate used to dry up the oat plants before harvesting?

[@skeletonwburg]

Very nice video !

[@Zetormaster]

Reallly good video!!

[@nibizsw3]

Well they are harvesting in south of sweden and germany they are almost done.

[@owenater0780]

No kidding! You live in Wisconsin? So do we up by lake Winnebago

[@Dollapfin]

If someone wanted to harvest stover from all crops including soybeans wheat corn etc., is there a way they could attach something to the combine instead of having to rake it up? I thought I saw something where there were two trucks following a combine and one got stover while other got grain. Was interesting.

[@Budvb]

awesome video now gonna go have some Oat Meal!

[@dlwdaddyo1]

I Take it you have shatter resistant varieties. I've never seen oats straight cut . We always have to swath & pick up

[@THEMAYQUEEN1]

Very nice video.

[@somerandomguy1416]

OATS HAVE BEEN LOCATED

[@phill903]

Awesome video, I subscribed to your channel from Mn.

[@Caboosz]

wow already harvesting ? the fileds are still green here :P

[@Jeytav]

there is two possible reasons 1: they do not need anything bigger 2: They couldn't afford a bigger one atm. :)

[@eriddell886]

Do I see an Elmira farm service logo on your header? If so, sweet!

[@JackSpellerberg]

Great video! I'm always amazed at what all a combine can do. Do you use the same setup in front ( sorry don't know what it's called ) to harvest wheat?

[@bandiit17]

While some of us actual farmers might find it boring, I think other people find it interesting:)

[@wendylee3152]

Great video! I just subscribed to your channel!

[@GreenPowerFarm]

really cool video !! I subbed ! Thanks.

[@Kopihucky]

That 9510 looks new off the lot. Was this the first harvest with it?

[@coolRRcousins]

WOW!

[@carl2755]

A 16' head seems rather small for a 9510. That's what we used to run on a 6600.

[@lukestrawwalker]

BIL ran a 6 row corn head on a 9600 for several years until he upgraded last year to an 8 row. He just ran a higher ground speed to keep the combine full so he ran at capacity. Helped on wet, muck ground too because the head was a lot lighter, so it helped the combine to stay up on top. Also helped in muck because you went into wet areas with some momentum and speed behind you, to help you keep on going and get out the other side (usually). He had a 25 foot bean head and upgraded to a 30 footer last year... sure puts the tractor and cart close to the header when taking grain off on the go... Later! OL J R :)

[@connoroneil8850]

You need to do a video on how to drive and operate it

[@AliRiazAkramSiddiqui]

FARMING?!?! WHAT?!?!?!

[@connoroneil8850]

lol Mughees I like farming haha you need to upload vids mughees

[@Kllrkrtt309]

LOL I'm 12 and I run one all the time! It's easy dude. It's just hydrostat. And also there are just a few hydraulic levers for the head up and down and also there is a lever to engage the head. Then there is also one to engage the machine and run the machine separate. The reel is on an electric clutch. Engages when you turn it on.

[@connoroneil8850]

ohhh cool thanks BrettKuntz

[@Kllrkrtt309]

No problem.

[@lukenephew3887]

I bet you get a lot of geese in the oat fields

[@NCOHDairyFarmer]

240 HP. 204 bushels. We run a 25 foot head I think he's running a 15.

[@MrCodythegreat]

I would like to send you a video of our harvest this year but I cant seem to figure out how

[@allischalmers7030]

Do u guys own that combine or is it a custom combiner

[@SHERGILL71]

i like this video ... good job ... and i had subscribed you ..

[@derwinbeasley6583]

is is more profitable that if i use 25 acre an pick with hand or 50 an use machine?

[@vasyok97]

Interesting!!!

[@wildbill1911A1]

I'm subscribing. What part of Wisconsin?

[@BryanKale777]

Nice

[@waterskiingfool]

Is there any market for oats or just for feed

[@zippyman818]

So what was the yield adn how did it compare to other years?

[@cheetahbug5]

FARMERS ROCK!!! (seriously, I mean that)

[@cassidylockard1527]

Did y'all drill the oats

[@jeffbowden1627]

oatmeal bro it's nutritious! and hard work lmao
