Not sure if it's been mentioned, the difference between excavator mode and backhoe is it shifts the main boom/dipper arm control from the left stick to the right. I'm in the UK and use excavator mode most of the time if I use them as it's more handy having the boom on the sleu/left stick. Also you usually dig with full rpms. Great video though, very handy if you can justify them, if not like you said just rent when needed.

Nice vid... neat little excavator. We rented one when I was doing prep work for my parent's new house on the Shiner place about five years ago... handier than sliced bread! They can do a lot of work fast, and I had never operated *any* excavator or even a backhoe before and I managed to pick it up and be working at a fast pace in only an hour or two, so the learning curve was particularly easy... the only thing about it was, those little excavators are pretty limited in their capabilities... for instance, I tried to dig out a stump that the front end loader on the 5610S Ford couldn't push over, dug out around and it managed to pop some of the roots, but try as I might it just didn't have enough beans behind it to actually push the stump over (despite me cutting the tree off about 4 feet high so I'd have more leverage to "roll the stump out" later... and it was only about a foot diameter trunk at the base... not even a "big" stump per-se... Handy for doing basic trenching, but if you're doing serious land clearing, reclamation work, or moving a lot of dirt, a full-size excavator is DEFINITELY the way to go-- something with enough power to really get the job done without overtaxing or pushing anything too hard (or worse yet breaking something). If we were still farming cotton I'd love to have you film, but we quit cotton in the early 2000's... If you want to film cotton farming/harvesting, you'll have to travel a pretty long ways from Wisconsin! There's a little in far southern Kansas and Missouri which is about the closest to you... of course the Texas Panhandle from south of Amarillo, particularly around Lubbock, is "king cotton" country, and interesting because of the differences between irrigated cotton grown under pivots, versus dryland "skip-row" cotton (2 rows planted, 1 row off or "blank", usually). Course there's not as much dryland cotton as it used to be... most is irrigated now. But, they DO make some terrific yields up there most years. There's a lot of "stripper harvested" cotton in that part of the state... as you go down to South Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, etc in the heart of the cotton belt, you get into a lot more "spindle-picked" cotton-- two totally different types of harvesters (stripper cotton is more like ear-corn pickers that gather "everything" cob-n-all, where a cotton picker is more like a corn combine that separates the plant material from the cotton (or grain in a combine). The newest pickers have on-board mini-module builders (Case IH machines) or mega-round bales of seed cotton wrapped in yellow plastic (Deere machines) and can deposit these mini-modules on the end of the field, or in the field "on the go". This of course is interesting technology but IMHO boring to watch... FAR more interesting seeing the "old way" of doing it, with pickers or strippers gathering the cotton out of the field, then "dumping" the cotton out of the basket into module builders on the turning row (field end) where someone spreads and packs the cotton into large bread-loaf looking bricks of cotton called "modules" which are then picked up later by tandem trucks with chain-slat floors... The module builder packs the cotton into a "brick" using it's wedged-shaped sides and a huge hydraulically controlled packer "foot" that moves back and forth and up and down by an operator's control, then when the module is the desired size, a rear door opens upward, the machine is lifted up by hydraulically lowering its transport wheels to raise the machine off the ground (and give clearance between the sloped module builder sides and the module inside) and then the tractor is driven forward to the location where the next module will be built, the wheels are raised to put the machine onto the ground, and the rear door closed to begin making the next module... my sister in law was running a module builder for her Dad and Grandpa's farm when she was just 12 years old... I stopped and watched her building modules, because the technology had *just* started becoming common in our area about that time (well a few years before), replacing the "old, old" way of doing it-- dumping cotton directly into large wagon-type "cotton trailers" similar to really big "hay racks" and then pulling them to the cotton gin to be sucked out and the cotton ginned to remove the seed and press it into bales... (Which is what we did on our farm...) Later! OL J R :)

If you do a potato harvest video you may want to do a sugar beet video. How about a cranberry harvest video?
@lukestrawwalker6 жыл бұрын
Yeah, sugar beets shouldn't be TOO far from Ryan's part of the world... Potatoes either, or tomato harvest or green beans... I know they grow quite a bit of that sort of stuff here around Rochester, Indiana, for the canning plants in the area... There's a Red Gold plant that my other brother-in-law has hauled semi-loads of tomatoes from the fields where they were being harvested back to the Red Gold plant (and they have some videos on KZbin showing them) where they were being processed... the Del Monte plant in Plymouth, Indiana, just north of here, used to do tomato paste, green beans, and canned corn IIRC... (BIL's family used to work there-- he did too a long time ago). I've seen fields of green beans and potatoes around here, particularly over toward Winimac... they grow a LOT of white potatoes around there for canneries and such. Pretty interesting. Further north they grow a lot of mint and harvest it, and that's interesting to see too... Down in our part of the world (Texas) there's been a lot of interest in some 'alternative" crops, sesame being probably the most prominent among them, in our area anyway... course in a lot of ways, it's like soybeans-- the plants look a lot different, and pod in an alternating 2x2 pattern up the stalks (2 pods on opposite sides of the plant, then the next two opposite each other but 90 degrees out from the first pair, back and forth like that all they way up the stems of the plant, and the pods are sorta square shaped, with four rows of sesame seeds inside). They're combined similar to soybeans too, and planted with regular air or vacuum planters... Sugarbeets is more of a northern thing and would be interesting to see harvested, and hauled for processing. Sweet corn is neat to see too, on a commercial scale. Lots of seed corn growing/harvesting, which is picked as ear corn and hauled to the plant and put into the bins as ear corn, then shelled in special shellers at the plant to produce the seed grain... (I have a nephew and his sister's father-in-law that work at the Pioneer seed plant in Plymouth, Indiana-- both in the field and at the plant in fall/winter). Another nephew's large family farm grows seed corn for Pioneer in this area, as well as popcorn, field corn, and Plenish soybeans as well as "regular" soybeans... They've grown cucumbers in the past one time (have some vids on KZbin IIRC) for a commercial cannery... Another "sourthern" crop that'd be interesting to film is sugarcane... gotta go to Florida or southern Louisiana for that though... there used to be sugar cane grown in our area, but that stopped decades ago-- the sugar plant in Sugarland, TX now processes sugar grown and initially processed in Louisiana. Rice is another interesting southern crop, but other than the additional step of milling the hulls off the grain, it's much like wheat or other small grains when harvesting... Grain sorghum is also widely grown in our area, but it's combined with a platform like wheat and threshed by the combine-- from there it's handled like any other grain... Anyway, I'm sure Ryan could bring videos about ANY of these subjects to a completely new level, with his fine videography skills and sense of style... but travel would be pretty extensive for some of them!!! Later! OL J R :)
