Ready and waiting | Harvest 2023 | Western Australia

Today we get all the gear ready and start getting everything down to the paddock so that we can get a start on harvest.
Whilst we were there we of course took the chance and did a sample to get us excited!!!!

[@stakman78]

Great video. Thanks for your time and effort.

[@deerefredj5975]

Happy harvesting , first couple of days are usually interesting lol :)

[@duncanm6589]

Well done JH and team. Impressive machines. Looking forward to seeing the harvest.

[@williamburns9731]

Hope you're harvest is abundant, Jackson Brothers, 4 ton of wheat per hectare.

[@user-rj8is7em6z]

Best of luck boys, great video keen to watch harvest videos 😉😉

[@farmercraig6080]

Always something special when harvest starts, we’re still in hay season.. probably won’t get going til late November.. Green as a JD here.

[@ricko3145]

Good luck with your harvest mate.

[@roydenyoung2390]

Up the all blacks! 💪🏽🇳🇿

[@bobmate2721]

Uppa JH, all the best hope they come off heavy

[@lewisgoodridge1308]

Are you aware that there are local mobile "towers" available. The last one I installed on a small minesite. It was supposed to cover a radius of approxiametely a kilometre, but we found by installingthe antenna on the top of the pole above the yargi antenna which received the signal from the Telstra Tower some 42kms as the crow flys from the minesite. If you have a location sort of middle of the property, you can install the system in a box on the antenna pole. Ours was Powered by solar and had a 72 hour zero charge capability. Every thing can be pole mounted. A trick to keep the temperature down to safe limits besides ventilation was to build a false box of construction ply sealed and painted. The minesite was "abandoned" by the then owners, but I was informed by the new owners, that it was still running four years after we installed it. If i remember the cost without a pole fully installed was under $2000. No booster aerials or aerials were needed on equipment, and personal ere able to talk on the ground, not relying on an atenna some 6 metres up and having to be in a cab about 3metres off the ground. Also brilliant, because you can talk to support from the macine etc way out in the paddock.

Yeh those celfi are about as good as inflating balloons under water

[@williamburns9731]

Ya mate Jack OutBack has a great set-up for distance reception.

[@davidskipsey300]

yes those JD havester were something of a monster weren't they??!!!

[@stratoreyener461]

Those built in auger bins depending on the HP being put into em can send the grain out further than it looks

[@jensn5909]

Are you farming down near Esperance? I thought the harvest would start much later that far south. Great content by the way

[@tomsbrookfarm]

Yep in the Esperance region. This is a typical sort of start time for us, does depend on the year though if it’s later or earlier.

[@castawayfishing3626]

How come you beep the horn when starting the combine. Love the videos keep it up

[@tomsbrookfarm]

Just for safety so that anyone who is close to or around the machine knows that it is starting and will most likely be moving. Once you close the door of the cab you can’t hear someone yelling at you

[@tabman23]

Might have to pull up on the fence line and have a cold one sometime 🍻 looks like ya going well we are 2 crops down 2 go about 400 ha of barley and 3000 ha of wheat 😂😂

[@tomsbrookfarm]

Sounds good but you bring the beers 😂

[@tabman23]

@tomsbrookfarm if im bringing the beers, what are you bringing? 😄 🤣

[@davidskipsey300]

why doesn't the doesn't the dust collect inside a bin or somthing in the harvester?doesn't the dust carry for miles

[@michealsummers714]

Fingers crossed George Summers arrives 😉😂.

[@tomsbrookfarm]

As long as he doesn’t sleep through his bus departure time he should arrive 😂🙈

[@davidskipsey300]

is there a switch that you would need to throw for baling?

[@lewisgoodridge1308]

Addendum to the previous comment, the range of this system was actually 2kms but thereare others which have a greater range.

[@scottm344]

Do they make the hitch for your chaser bins to attach the headers to. That way you can take more machines at one go

[@tomsbrookfarm]

No they don’t, but we could make one up. A few farmers around here have done that,

[@David-nk3kq]

The seed terminator system, does that cut the straw up finer than what the normal knives on the chopper do?\

[@tomsbrookfarm]

The terminators collect everything off the sieves so all the chaff and weed seeds and then smash them up to dust. The straw and everything that comes off the rotor still goes out through the chopper like normal

[@sividproductions6591]

Hi mate Are your grain loss sensors for the rotor, still at the back of the tyne separator ?

[@ralphrobson2061]

Hey mate how come you use field bins rather than mother bins?

[@tomsbrookfarm]

Our moisture changes quite quick as we are close to the coast. So we have field bins so that we can put different moisture in them and that makes it easier to load trucks. Having a mother bin with high and low moisture doesn’t work for blending and being able to deliver it.

[@ryanw1651]

What are the crops like down there ??

[@tomsbrookfarm]

The a looking ok, hopefully slightly above average

[@tomchant4873]

Hey mate where did you get the winch from?

[@tomsbrookfarm]

It’s a Lazy Hitch from Hitches & More

[@dessmith7283]

It look like you cut low to the ground any reason

[@tomsbrookfarm]

The lower we cut the better it is for the seeder to get through with out blocking, would be nice to cut a bit higher as there are rocks that we hit but not an option with the current seeder I have to cut high.

[@dessmith7283]

Wouldn't the headers be getting dirt through them ,affecting the bearings 😊

[@tomsbrookfarm]

No they aren’t cutting that low. About beer can height is where we cut at

[@collinhowell2064]

When does George arrive? I thought he was supposed to be here already? Maybe don't teach your wife, can Henry or our Dad do it?

[@user-rj8is7em6z]

Best of luck boys, great video keen to watch harvest videos 😉😉
