New Equipment Blues

[@herdingcats3850]

Another day in Paradise, Ryan. God bless all...

[@michaelprotinick4252]

Hey Ryan, your videos are inspiring and great to watch. I'm 29 and I come from (and still operate) a medium sized farm in New Jersey. Watching you work with your family and the achievements you accomplish get me wishing to have a better relationship with my own family. I had the same problem with the brakes on our old jd 9500 combine. Had to adjust the brakes all the way out. Long story short, wound up putting a new transmission in that machine because it went kaput going down the road (and in New Jersey there are no good places to break down on the road), only to later realize in the field that the jd mechanic adjusted the brakes too tight. Also, I had the same issue on our bean head with the cutter bar and the arm of the wobble box. Ended up putting lock nuts on the bolts for good. Getting that cutter bar to lay just right is a bit of an exercise in patience. Anyway, I know this is a longer comment, but your videos are the most authentic I've seen, so I had to say something!

[@stokesjo82]

It’s a joy to see Hannah bring you coffee. Beautiful day, beautiful lady, beautiful crop, beautiful work… Blessings from above!

[@davidmcgee4525]

Great picture of your dog sitting in hay field and the JD combine n the background. Like the dog is watching over the harvest. Frame & sell that.

[@Heisstrong]

Another great video Ryan. Love the music at 16:15 ! Thanks for the hard work of producing good quality video's. We appreciate you and Hannah and your family very much!

[@Ken-sr6jo]

My sister-in-law is from your part of the country. Really beautiful up there. I’m really impressed with 80 bushel yield on beans.

[@samueljoejr5191]

I call Big Dwight the game changer. When he does things, it changes the game. Being a long time sub, I've watched him do this a number of times. The planter, now the combine,he changes the game. Ryan has started to follow the trend. The JBC,the truck, the mulcher, are changing the game. These guys are awesome and good for KZbin. Thanks.

[@AutoCrete]

That morning coffee being delivered is real important! LOL It reminded me of 50 years ago, open air tractors haying on hot and dusty days working long hours. In the afternoon ice tea, sandwiches and a cold bowl of fruit would arrive, almost like a picnic in the hay field. It was almost like being rejuvenated to late morning. Man I miss that.

[@MississippiMudMX]

the mississippi is so low, our grain elevators were closing at 12pm. for a week the line was 4 miles long, and during the day they were doing a little over 2,000 trucks A DAY. they’ve starting digging out for barges to leave.

[@fazerainbow5674]

awsome video ryan its a joy to see hannah bring you coffee beautiful day beautiful lady beautiful crop beautiful work thumbs up and shared

[@whitewips1]

HFW has by far the best action shots IMO! Way to go!

@10:31 Ryans innocent duck face to sneak through the weigh station😆

[@HowFarmsWork]

😂 Yeah it is 😂😂😂😙

[@acomputernerd]

Sweet shots. Thanks for the update nice to see harvest in full swing! Growing pains are not fun but they too go away.

[@joey46648]

What a bloody beautiful piece of land you have got there 👍

[@joeystork57]

Relaxing to see the combine working when it is w/o issues!! Stay safe you guys!!

[@Chico-td2fy]

Driving the back roads in Northwest Indiana today smells like harvest 🙂

[@henrywardell4635]

Bravo , Great Machines ; Great Video. Happy Farming - Have A Great Day Eh. Greetings from Canada Eh. Thank you Ryan.😎

[@digger5858]

Good video Ryan Hope you got everything worked out and harvest will be smoother from here on.

[@timstroh216]

Hay Ryan; great to see you guys harvesting!! Looks like the new combine doesn’t have clearance issues with the grain cart like the old combine did the 9770 looks awesome in the field!! Be safe guys!

[@farmer1129]

We have the same combine use a softer bolt the case hard bolts just snap off.

[@rtz549]

Grade 5 instead of Grade 8?

[@cassiuspuckett8789]

Awesome video Ryan. Beans seem to be yielding good. Typical equipment problems, oh well, hope you get the brake problem fixed. Thanks for sharing....

[@AdamSmith-uv6kr]

If it weren’t for the struggle it wouldn’t be farming. I can’t believe what this years beans were going at. I hope you had a great year bud.

[@JacobMartin2009]

Great video Ryan harvest time is my favorite time of the year!

[@mattphillips4260]

not sure about there and the bushels the combine holds when full but here when i was working on the farm the combine held aprox 300 to 325 and we would put 2 full dumps on the front hopper and then put 1 full dump on the back hopper and that would be pretty close to ok depending on test weight of the grain i had times where there was ben busting crop and do this and would be over weight a good bit but here in my state IN we are given a 10% over the 80,000 hope you find this helpful

[@nnittyllojkoo917]

2:15min if you attempt to take big red out there it’s best to try while empty. And have guides

[@markb.1259]

It's neat being able to follow you around on Google Maps to the different places you work/drive to. Neato Bryan... haha

[@CJPhillips6648]

Clean shaving, great way to start the day! Helps with oily skin too..

[@kerwinhege7416]

I have 2 of those old 930f heads. Cutter bar drive bolts break regularly. Make sure there grade 8 bolts they will last alot longer.

[@billwieland8497]

Thanks for posting!

[@leol1682]

Thanks Ryan love this video and keep themssss coming .

[@alanl.simmons9726]

Hang in there guys !

[@superliner101hobbyfarming]

Love seeing that 4640 along side the new rig!

[@stevechaudoir9052]

Another great video Ryan! We really enjoy your spectacular drone footage.

[@michaelweatherhead9470]

Thanks Ryan nice work great video. Work through it. You got this.

[@robertironside9817]

Hi from Aberdeenshire in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 thanks for another great video Ryan full of content superb picture quality it’s no wonder you have so many subscribers keep up good work hope harvest goes well for you

[@stuartsplace100]

Hi Ryan,looks like that new combine is working well

[@haydenroe1693]

Gotta live those old combines. I run a John Deere 8820 turbo with a 230 head on it. Down here in Saskatchewan Canada. That 9770 should be able to run a 35 foot

[@jazko]

The baler belt on the grain cart auger is a nice touch !

[@alistairr.9656]

why is the 4640 on the grain cart and not the R series tractor i forgot which one it was

[@SimonKL11]

Too bad you had some issues, but hopefully you can move right along now😉👍 the 9770 looks good in the field, keep up the great work guys👍👍

[@randallvos]

With transportation being what it is, may be time to think about and plan out for grain storage in order to reduce cycle times and keep the combine moving........

[@stanhensley3082]

One thing about harvest. If it can happen,it will.Stress will not kill you. Right?? Thanks 🤔.

[@brittblanton8342]

Great video Ryan thanks for sharing 👍🇺🇸

[@karlschupp8552]

Why the auger head instead of a draper head on the combine? Is it a cost thing, or a productivity issue? Others I've watched with the draper heads seem like they are having all kinds of issues with the draper heads? Also does it help or increase loss from bean shell shatter?

[@christopherschneider3323]

While I don’t know their specific operation or reason, drapers are much more expensive and require more maintenance since they have way more moving parts. But yes the shelling out loss is definitely better and from a manufacturer standpoint, just kinda depends on what they want to work with.

[@patkelly7999]

Great job Everybody, sorry to see ye are having those little issues, its all time consuming , looking fresh Ryan, and yes that reminds me, I must shave😁👌👍🙂

[@possleaholsteinspossbrofar8429]

Wait till you get a draper. You'll love it.

[@karlrovey]

I think grain bin clean-out is a good time to shave as it allows for a better fit with dust masks.

[@williamorman4779]

Ryan, how many hrs are on the 4640?

[@chadnelson924]

Try using electrical cleaner and clean the potentiometer switch on the Bean Head and that might fix your problem or you might have to replace it

[@onecrazytruckinfarmer]

That scale on the Wisconsin side if I’m going to Iowa I’ve never stopped for it. Idk why they even have a sign for the Iowa bound traffic. Keep the rubber side down and have a good weekend Ryan.

[@peter5parker173]

I have never seen that weigh station open, and I used to drive by their near daily.

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video, sounds like a bit of ROCKY start to bean harvest! Thanks for sharing

[@Birddog67]

Could you explain basis to a novice? I understand about loading the barges less than normal due to low water south of St.Louis, but how does the basis affect the dollars you receive for your beans and where online is a good place to check commodity cash prices? Thanks.

[@dwightl5863]

First I have heard of basis as well.

[@whjerts]

Basis is the difference between the cash price you receive and the price at the Chicago board of trade. A positive basis means you are getting more than the price at the board of trade. Negative basis and you’re getting less than board of trade. Futures Basis Cash price $6.50 -.50 $6.00 $6.50. .50. $7.00

[@bradchoq]

do you ever go processor direct (like an AGP soybean oil plant)?

[@doclull1989]

Hey Ryan!! Was wondering about the river, thanks for the info. Are the brakes working ok now?

[@petergielen5905]

Thx for sharing, how are the backlosses ? Greetings from Belgium

[@farming4g]

The harvest beard! Also can be known as the stress beard. Typical to have some more bugs to work out over the harvest since just buying it last year. One of those things if thinking about it is start the machines up one or two times in the offseason and move it a little bit to hopefully keep the brakes unseized among everything else keeping lubed. What auto settings does that model have like Header height, reel speed?

[@HowFarmsWork]

Header height sensing, dial a speed are two options

[@jordanschneider6505]

Once you work the tweaks out it will run good

[@badbrad2334]

how much can you haul legally its 88,000 for farm and forestry down here in TN/KY

Hey Ryan, Sorry for all the issues . My wife's cousin just bought a new 2023 Z71 truck man that thing is nice but way too many things to go wrong and dollar him to death. Hopefully yall will get all the bugs worked out. What was that base you were talking about at the buke ????? I pray everything gets better and by the time yall get to corn the combine runs as it should. Take Care, Take it Easy and TRUST JESUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@badbrad2334]

how loud is the Jake brake on big red? lol

What hybrid of soybeans do you plant?

[@banjobenson9348]

nice yields

[@Bryer68]

Great video DJ From Bryer Floyd

[@wayoutwest4944]

Not a farmer. However, I think the federal government should stay out of the business of mandating emissions for farm equipment. If the government wants to mandate emissions for highway vehicles in urban areas, late them mandate. EGR has no business on the engine of farm equipment, it hurts engine efficiency and longevity.

[@TommyTester]

How about some words from Dad on the combine and header.

[@pikelakekenny1546]

The rod on your hopper door looks bent when youyou struggling to open it i would try to straighten it might help opening and closing it easier

Hey, quick question, what cameras are you all using? Your thumbnails and FB photos are killer too. 👍

[@brycebarton3677]

It’s crazy to me seeing a farmer dump his own grain, I work at an elevator in Illinois and we dump every truck for the drivers/ farmers

Ryan, sorry, what do you mean by basis on your soybeans? Also, why don't you unload your combine on the fly onto your grain wagon? Really like your channel.

[@HowFarmsWork]

Basis is the elevator’s cut off or premium they pay on what you haul depending on whether it’s positive or negative. You want a low negative or preferably positive basis if possible.

[@MrBroomy]
