Ryan, read Drew's comment below, that's what it's all about, inspiring the next generation, feeling the land beneath you and the sky above. Thanks for what you do. Signed-an old farmer that misses it

[@bigtractorpower]

Very informative on grain drying. Always enjoy seeing an Iron Horse like your 4640 in action.

[@marcth37]

I have a friend in Repentigny,QC who has bought new machines for harvest in 2016;the combine is a Case 8530 with 12 rows and the grain cart is a Brent 1147 bushels(about 30 tons)!Massive equipments!

[@bluemtnsman]

Ryan, You have always had interesting videos in my opinion. I'm impressed with how far you have come with the quality and I am not referring to cameras or drones,,, just the overall presentation and sound bites. Well done sir.

[@andrewgregory3673]

bluemtnsman agreed

[@josephaustin7004]

As someone who grew up with a 4020, 4630 and 4650, your videos made my day.

[@Carknocker001]

I can't help but thinking of what a legacy these videos will be for future generations of the family.

[@davidhintz1]

Wow. Just WOW!!!! Such a great Video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I live in Gernany since ´87 and still miss the farm. Thanks sooooo much Ryan.

[@gayechurchill2396]

I want to thank you for doing these videos I've watched every single one I'm 13 years old and I'm looking forwould to being like you I like how you do the harvesting , fencing everything you do thank you. You have inspired me!!!!😊😊

[@deepdarkblue4370]

11:50 touched my heart, miss you dad where ever you are....

[@concernedcitizen7732]

Hi Ryan, I've been watching your videos for the last couple of years and never commented before. Well, today is the day. I think you do an excellent job. You've got it down pat. Keep them coming. I was about your age in 1980. We farmed over 2500 acres. We had bought a new JD 4440, 4840 and 7720 combine that year (It was a good year. One of the last for the next decade). I think back how I loved farming and the farm life. We never even dreamed of stuff your doing now (videos, youtube, JD 8235R tractors, etc...). The 4440 was a quad range and the 4840 was a powershift. Both were excellent tractors. You couldn't stop the 4840 on any tillage tool we had. JD 2800 8x18's, JD 1610 or 1710 11 shank disk/chisel plow, JD 25 foot disk (don't remember the model number). Just wish it had more speeds in its transmission. I miss farming. It was the best time in my life. Enjoy this time in your life. You will look back with fondness. Thank you for the excellent videos. Take care......

[@fergie35X]

Great video, one of the best. Just love the 4640 ! Spent weeks here in the UK on a 4440 with front wheel assist ! Just loved it even though front wheel assist didn't really help !

[@bryang9095]

That new bin looks great!! Got to love fall harvest time!!

[@MrVazsholik]

Just want to say that i love folowing the progress on your farm! So ceep em coming!

[@oliverprouduser]

it seems odd here in the uk we just finished drilling all of our crops yesterday and seeing you a combine just doesn't look right lol at least you get the time to film I wish I could since we bought are own combine now I've been carting grain and managing are grain store system hope your having fun nothing like the smell of harvest !

[@1bigsample]

Ryan, I think this is your best video footage yet. Excellent work. Interesting and entertaining . Thanks!

[@Archivesman1]

Ryan, another great video! Good job, the overhead shot added a lot to it so viewers could see the grain leaving the grain tank on the combine and going into the grain cart.

[@jeffslaven6350]

Your videos are so great. It makes me miss home in Upstate NY so much. I watch them nightly. Thank you and God bless. #YankInNewZealand

[@nathangano8326]

Congratulations on 17k! Keep up the good work Ryan

[@imdafarmergamerboy1650]

Since i dont have a CDL, we do it differently. Dad hauls grain and i keep the combine moving. First time I unloaded n the go, i was going fast as i could and dad was going to fast. Spilled all over the ground. Still working on my unloading on the go skills. Stationary truck or wagon is easier.

[@Athenstrainman]

Awesome video. You guys are awrsome. Thank you for everything you do.

[@marcelbrinkmann2201]

Its very interesting to see how farming in America works. I'm from Germany and my dad came from a farm, so I know how it works in Germany. I really want to work on a farm in America or Australia to drive the very big machines.

[@robertreznik9330]

Most people in US do not want a farm job because they want easier work with less mental alertness. One of my neighbors brings in 10 or so from South Africa to drive combines and carts. The Mexicans used to be skilled farm workers but now they just want to be in cities and want free education and other benefits for their families.

[@samuelmckinley6327]

I really liked this video Ryan...Made my day by a long shot! Thank you so much!

[@whistled46]

GREAT video Ryan! Always watch your vids! GOOD WORK! Really like your drone parts!!! You guys ROCK! Y'all seem to get along pretty well together as a family! Farming can be stressful...farmed with my Daddy till 1992...43 years! He was a pretty severe alcoholic but was a REAL smart farmer and peanut champion for several years! Some good memories and some NOT so good...almost got killed several times from his problem...guess it built some character...Keep up the good work!

[@KraftFarms]

Sweet video Ryan. That Sioux bin y'all just put up is nice. Bet that sure helps to have on the farm

[@jimlisterman2138]

LUV Your Rolly Terrain !!!!

[@scottwood2751]

that old john deere is a honey!

[@chrisgiles4691]

Just found out about your videos love them man. Thanks for posting.

[@borregoimages8117]

I made a Harvest video very similar to this one. But, filmed in Nebraska. You should check it out. :)

[@exileinderby51]

A good day but a long one, but that's what harvest's about, isn't it? Fascinating to see how you operate in the US, very different from here in the UK. Here you see high capacity tipping trailers shuttling back to the grain store, have you ever considered doing that?

[@jacksonhunterandfarmer2673]

Great vid Ryan Smile More God Bless stay safe guys 👍

[@carriegerike4662]

Remember when you drove this 4640 up the hill the speed doesn't change the RPMs do.

[@cardinals1018]

We have been done with corn for almost 4 weeks!

[@howardyounger5456]

Nice video. I helped a friend cut beans about 20 years ago. He wanted to dump on the go. it was the first time either one of us done this it got a little commical tosay the least

[@remigagne450]

Corn looks like gold!

[@lukestrawwalker]

Too bad it's not worth as much! OL J R :)

[@lukestrawwalker]

Good work! Love the videos and the music is perfect... Thank goodness it's not blaring acid rock or sh!t-kicker country music... HATE when guys put that stuff over their videos and turn it up all the way!!! Good work unloading on the go, though it looks like you COULD be a little closer to the combine-- maybe one row over. I do the same thing in corn-- find the right row over and run the front tire down the middle. It gets harder as the header gets wider, because the tractor is closer to the combine. BIL put the big 4WD 4890 Case on the cart, and so you've got a huge pair of front duals out there and the tractor is wider than the cart! Makes it challenging, especially with the new(er) 35 foot bean platform-- have to keep the outside front dual of the tractor within about 2-3 feet of the outside snout of the header for the auger to reach the center of the cart! It's a lot different from how we did it when I was growing up. We had a Ford 640 (Claas "Senator") combine and a 150-ish bushel auger cart pulled by the Ford 5200 row crop tractor... all open station (well, the combine had a cab, but no A/C, so in Texas summer heat you did everything with the doors and windows open anyway!) The Ford only has an 8 speed manual transmission, so you run full throttle to catch up with the combine, throttle down to match the combine speed, and then had to throttle up or down to keep pace with the combine, in addition to keeping the cart centered under the unload auger of the combine... The combine had a variable speed belt drive, but nothing as good as the modern hydrostatic drives in combines built since then... Took me awhile to get used to running up beside the combine, pacing it to set my speed, and then just going "hands off" the throttle and let the combine operator auger the corn where they wanted it in the cart, while only keeping the cart centered under the auger... When you're used to doing it the other way, there's DEFINITELY a learning curve! Shame yall don't have a corner-auger cart... I've run both-- ours was an old center-auger like yalls, and I've run a newer center-auger one for the BIL's nephew, but the BIL's is a Killbros 500 bushel cart with the auger in the front corner-- SO much easier to see when you're unloading, because the auger is nearly just outside your cab window! Course they're STILL not as nice as the newest auger carts with the remote moveable spouts that let you shoot the corn wherever you want it in the truck or gravity box, but then you can't have everything I guess... LOL:) Later! OL J R :)

[@adogman12345]

nice video Ryan I am surprised you don't have a grain truck along with wagon

[@DesertDigger1]

Did you see the segment today on R.F.D. T.V. where The Hefty Bros. were comparing and doing the math on how many ears of corn a man can pick in an hour compared to what a combine harvests in an hour? It was fascinating.

[@mauricezammit5125]

Hi Ryan, first of all I'm not a farmer, but I think I should have been one because I enjoy watching farming videos hours on end, I have just recently discovered your videos in KZbin and quite frankly I like them a lot, so gradually I'll be going through all of them. Up to now I've been watching onelonelyfarmer(OLF)'s videos in KZbin, he's alright too, although he has gone totally for growing just hay for the mushroom producers also animal feed just because he has a lot of problems with the deer destroying the crop when he grows corn since the deer eats quite a lot of the corn. This made me wonder if you do have the same or similar problem OLF has.

[@deepdarkblue4370]

What a great video... Thanks

[@canvids1]

excellent video and great editing, very interesting, thank you.

[@thewestmichiganfarmers1846]

Dang Ryan your clearly a better grain cart operator than me I need a camera to unload on the go lol

[@nateklein1634]

8:50 here comes the dirt run!

[@rustyshackleford6749]

just like our 4640 everytime you throttle it up, noyhing but black :)

[@josephlandrut4154]

When you dry corn in the states What moisture value do you dry it down to because British farms need to dry it down to at least 16% to store is in silos.

[@Ticky66MN]

What a great day and video Ryan. How many bushels and acres did you do this day?

[@HowFarmsWork]

+Ticky66MN We did 20 loads at about 300 per load.

[@bryang9095]

Thats cool but a grain dryer is still has a better view at night with the steam rolling off an that big flame inside

[@moonlightblade1080]

You guys need at least a 12 row header. Cut your time in half so your not working in the dark. Bigger tractors and gain carts as well.

[@lukestrawwalker]

Like Grandpa used to say, "All you need is a pocket full of money!" "Nice to have" and "Must have" is quite often two very different things. I know a lot of farmers who went broke thinking they HAD to have the biggest and best of EVERYTHING... most of the time, the one you've got that you can afford or that's paid for is the RIGHT one to have, even if it's not the fastest or biggest or best... Later! OL J R :)

[@blops16]

Very Nice video, good job on the editing!

[@ashtonbogard761]

I like the harvester

[@scorpionsedge]

Good video! I'm more into hearing the machinery than music, but awesome anyway.

[@imdafarmergamerboy1650]

We just finished combineing corn, averaged 190 bushels per acre and 16% moisture

[@jaba64]

Not possible, 190 bushels? No way

[@jaba64]

Not possible, 190 bushels? No way

[@Cherryfarmboy60]

+Finnegan West why is that not possible?

[@imdafarmergamerboy1650]

Finnegan West Illinois Corn seems to do well. Some of our farms were hitting 215 bushels an acre. Depends on the soil

[@codyquick2270]

+Andy Rousonelos that's where we farm

[@scotthinch]

Just a question,why don't you use the 8235R on the grain cart? Good Video!

[@DerekHurst]

Great video, you guys are really using the drone to great effect and getting some fabulous shots. As a video guy does someone there have production experience? "Cause it looks like it!

[@MichaelMcGill_emtwo]

Great Video Ryan; production quality getting better and better every day. Some of your best aerial work. Though if you were driving the 4640 with the grain cart, who was flying the Phantom when you got the aerial shots of the 4640 offloading the combine?

[@HowFarmsWork]

Thanks! The drone has a follow feature that allows flight without hands on the controller. It's really nice because I can just watch the screen and use it as a third person camera to make unloading easier.

[@beartechdeck]

I like the thumbnail. You gotta get onelonleyfarmer to do that.

[@johnm3936]

Did anyone hear that fart at 9:05? lol Great video btw!

[@WilliamK-nu6uc]

John M lol

[@WilliamK-nu6uc]

Probably tractor horn

[@borregoimages8117]

I made a Harvest video very similar to this one. But, filmed in Nebraska. You should check it out. :)

[@davidoverstreet0246]

Great video

[@wordlog860]

lol, been there. Good speil

[@Heimerviewfarm]

how many wagon loads does it tale too empty that grain cart?

[@bigounce3384]

As you can tell by my profile picture I love tractors but only a handful of 12-14 year olds in my class even like them

[@mack_titan]

Great Videos!!! I have been watching your videos for some time and figured I ask you a question about corn seeds. Here is what I posted on forums before and got no answers. Basically, I'm after a particular type of corn (non sweet) that is popular in South Asia. Usually (the street vendors) heat the corn on a charcoal fire bed and coat it with sauce( a mixture of lime, chilly powder and salt). It taste absolutely amazing. I have a small piece of land on our family property that I want to make use of and grow this corn. The nearest I can figure out (lack of knowledge rather), it is what they call "popcorn" corn. I'm I correct? If not what is it and where can I find the seeds to grow?

[@ThePilotPenguin1]

no good farming video is completed without a night shift

[@switzerblitzer2701]

Looks like a very good corn crop. What brands of corn and varieties do you like in your area that do the best for yield?

[@HowFarmsWork]

+Gerard Heck we personally like DeKalb.

[@ronaldedwards425]

Well done Ryan and family you guys kicked some a$$ on that corn why is your stubble so high?

[@Junior-oe3hp]

5:24 i miss the old t handle levers..the new s series we have dont have em :(

[@Junior-oe3hp]

+Christian Atkins 11:44 too

[@martinfassig2732]

Do you plant any DeKalb seed? As a kid growing up in DeKalb IL a lot of us worked for DeKalb Ag in the summers in the test fields.

[@ethanankeny3429]

gees i thought you would put the bigger tractor on the grain cart

[@connorharding6155]

Nice Video Ryan! Why don't you drive the harvester?

[@payne2086]

How does ya'lls 9500 work for ya'll, considering that it runs through the crops slower, is it perfect for the land ya'll rent or do you guys feel like upgrading soon.

[@MrVazsholik]

Do you think you can explain in one of the vida how the cornheader works? Tought the while thung went trough the machine, like with wheat or barley, but from what i observed i think i might be wrong..?

[@ScanMan79]

You probably have mentioned it before but I haven't caught it... Was just curious what drone are you using for your footage? Thanks!

[@billwhitman1529]

Have you guys considered a Drago head? I can see how it would benefit your type of fields.

[@connerputz2975]

nice vid

[@RKHarm24]

Does your Dad smile? He camera shy or just set in his ways like me.

[@harvesterman6775]

Hey is there a semi in the near future for you guys for is it so small there is no need

[@richardbloomfield3646]

Ryan before ur dad goes back to harvest after unloading into u clean up behind the head so that way it doesn't start smoking

[@remcoscholtmeijer3044]

Do you still use the silos by the overload spot?

[@BolderBats]

nice video!

[@ivarbergheim3485]

real nice video bro. im sitting here dreaming of US farmland now. but is that running trailer really big enough or do you run to the farm too? (i dont know jack s$it about corn)

[@kylefeagins292]

why don't u put the 8235r on the grain cart?

[@GBM6988]

Ah okay I wondered how grain was actually unloaded. Farming Simulator isn't that realistic after all lmao.

[@lukestrawwalker]

It's based more on the European model, where they tend to use a lot of big dump trailers for everything instead of wagons and boxes and trucks and stuff like that... everything's pulled with the tractors more or less, which is why they have faster road gears and don't use the wide duals like we do here in the US/Canada... they use the widest single tires they can so they can go down the narrow European roads. So, it sorta depends on where you're at and what type of agriculture practices and equipment are commonplace in your area... Later! OL J R :)

[@jedimasterjesse]

luke strawwalker luke.. I am your father! Oh BTW yeah that's true just saw your name so I thought I throw in a joke lol

[@waterskiingfool]

I failed miserably trying to unload on the go this year

[@zzz1249]

nice music

[@dylanlindsey9532]

hey ryan amazing video what were the songs you used?

[@kravis_6131]

garret Edwards I wasn't born yesterday or the day before that I know that it would cost a lot of money but I was talking BUILTING A BIGGER FARM over time getting knew AND BIGGER machinery. I am a farmer to I know a bit a bout money bub.

[@tykronlage933]

Travis can't ride on his little red wagon

[@tykronlage933]

I like what it says on the back of the little red wagon👍🏼

[@averybuster9732]

do some more harvesting videos this year

[@colebird9170]

nice

[@nateklein1634]

30 in or 36 in row spacing?

[@douglaslaramie9245]

Nice dryer setup, but why do you carry corn on the roof of the cab of the combine. Is that just extra storage? JK

[@MattyDardani]

will these videos be cornier than ethanol

[@robertmasarik4423]

What does your dad think about the filming.

[@jman6032]

How many acres total do you, your brother and dad Farm?

[@mrspamminson7706]

What kind of combine is that

[@raymondaston4796]

what was the yield on the corn

[@ericfields5194]

where do u farm at? great vid

[@benanderson7808]

Wisconsin

[@zilla2006able]

are you a get a grain trucks this years or not???

[@kravis_6131]

are you guys going to ever get a bigger combine? because those fields are huge

[@Heimerviewfarm]

I'm thinking since he runs a 6 row planter he can't get any bigger.

[@kravis_6131]

he has big tractors cant he get a bigger planter

[@garrettedwards9032]

+mathew davis Their is this thing called money, and a bigger planter and combine would cost alot of it

[@onecountrykid146]

You don't necessarily need a bigger combine, u can just get a bigger grain header or grain platform. Now a newer combine would be the absolute best thing u could do, u don't have the money for a big fancy new combine. So then u just upgrade ur header

[@onecountrykid146]

+Garrett Edwards yes. But yet they just recently bought the 8293R I think, so why not invest some of that money into a new combine instead of the tractor.

[@petrusvanaarde7967]

What tipe of header is that ??? 🤔🤔

[@ryanbrooks7562]

What tractor is that?

[@knoodle6848]

13:05 what song is playing?!

[@macknicholson5059]

do a livestrem
