Let's Go Pick Corn- Day 1 Of 2024 Corn Harvest & Already Broke Down

[@1960teko]

Chris you are surrounded by great group of friends.

[@johnnyholland8765]

If the customer is going to grind that corn for feed I wouldn't worry about a little cobb and trash. Your shop is not a mess. It is a typical farmers shop at harvest time...

[@wandabuchholz6508]

Chris, you and the boys did good keep up the good work.

[@TimothyAmiot-zr8ec]

Congratulations bro! Great group of people around you!!

[@markbowling3475]

Your going to figure it out Chris you always do, Never doubt Duffy !

[@whitby910]

Pretty good after all you had to do.' Hats off to you', as we say in the UK

[@jeffmcbride469]

Combine looked to be doing great! Glad to see the harvest underway!

[@TheGhostHAG]

Wow Chris. I used to watch and comment on every video about 2 years ago to a year ago. Career got busy. I come back to see you still getting after it. Congratulations man

[@kirklothert3435]

Just to think those were the combines back in the day & they're still good machines. Combines have come a long way because now they can practically drive themselves. I hope the rest harvest season goes without a hitch for you

[@jessemerriam9732]

Awsome content chris you got good friends glad to see robert back and as all ways the crew cheif getting the job done can't wait to see the kw in action

[@gordonanderson3915]

You are definitely the big boy now. What an awesome feeling that must’ve been to watch your corn rolling out the driveway. Congratulations on a good start to 2024 corn harvest.

[@lorengolliher2712]

Well the boys are out getting her done the gearbox is what it is as always enjoy your videos keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep watching

[@bongobill2000]

Every time I see the 8820, I’m like…..WOW !! That thing looks amazing ! That guy did an AWESOME job…..and then when the 46 pulls up near it……brings back memories……GOOD LUCK on this harvest

[@TK-754]

Looking good Chris! Trial run wasn’t too bad after all the work you did on everything, including a new to you grain cart! Keep up the good work!

[@johnmurphy380]

Great progress Duffy, great to watch the dust in the dark from the comfort of home, that early season dust can really itch, wishing you a great harvest.

[@olivertraynor3712]

Combine is doing it's thing,that's a plus,the work you've done to it,it should work the season with no problem's,the cart will back going again with new gearbox,and harvesting will be alot easier for you, love the video's, 👌, happy harvesting.

[@rtopp1]

Looks like you could use a light inside your grain cart. Great bunch of guys like watching your channel.

[@snipersl270]

If you keep that old gearbox housing around, you should be able to find gears, bearings and seals to rebuild it. I do get buying a new one to get harvest done, but a rebuilt spare would be great for the future.

[@chrisnelson2205]

We always replaced the grease line with semi air line worked great

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Did you ever think about a pre season check? Or maybe a going through after last season? Nevermind, the problems will make themselves noticeable on their own.🤔

[@keithhancocks2831]

Chris , could you put a cheap wirelessbackup camera on the end of the buggy augur so that you can see how full the lorry is from the tractor cab and use your phone as the screen . could also put one looking down into buggy to see how empty it is when unloading

[@peterhennigar7789]

You’re a blessed man Duffy to have a good friends and high places

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Nice work Chris its working excellent.

[@AdamProst-f3k]

You know what it's good that you took the time to do the first test on on the combine and you're in the dirty bucket too

[@debrathomaspowell4522]

Duffy you are doing good this 24 season.

[@peterwoollard288]

Thanks for the content

[@brianbolanz8626]

Great job guys !!

[@alistairholroyd4071]

Nice one Chris hope it keeps dry for you

[@martinwaddell]

Is awesome content Chris I’m thinking about the idiots that doubted you and you have an ability and drive to pull this operation off and succeed. Congratulations can’t wait to see the big Kenworth in action if it’s God‘s will. Nothing like operating on a wing on a prayer ❤️‍🔥 36:54

[@wadesellers7748]

Good job shipping corn. Would be nice to see how your adjustments to the combine decreased all the money being spit out the back and left in the field. The up side to high moisture is less butt shelling.

[@mcdowellfarm23]

Great start, looks like good corn..nice Chris!😊

[@prjndigo]

Its usually a dead safe assumption that if someone sells a grain buggy and they're not selling it because they're dead then it'll have a shot gearbox or a shot shaftlink.

[@jimwilhelmi9932]

Keep on keeping on Chris

[@bobrat]

There's a reason the grain cart was affordable. You really had to have it though. Keep on pushing Chris 👏👏👏

[@danmacintosh4094]

Good start. Shitty about the gearbox but now it will be new. Onward

[@TheEasystart]

Success!

[@jimkavalier2831]

New gear box, buggy should last a long time!

[@ihguy2113]

keep all your electrical clean you have a few solendiods on the firewall

[@Plowboy4960]

A good start to the season duffy except for the gear box but have safe harvest things are really looking up Good Luck

[@tincan6929]

Getting a shaft in the face never a good moment 😢😢😂😂😂

[@kaydog2008]

ENJOYED my VetD free breakfast at Danney's.😎👉👉👉👉 Chris perhaps invest in a FEW chain falls and clamps to use on the COMBINE for the heavy BLEEPS. Plus make your OWN pressure tester by using a tractor to pressure leaks test your parts before installing it. Working smarter not harder.

[@masterful7574]

"Vetrens' is not a word.

[@burtzorn4059]

That gear box is the week point on them carts . Hang in there !!!!

[@95gsxtt]

almost got crazy and started looking at farms to buy, decided to go play farm simulator 25, it was cheaper.

[@Onealfarm9967]

lol good choice so you don’t want to work for free and get payed 😅

[@pcrotten]

Thanks for sharing Duffy, just through new bearings and seals in that angel gearbox and you will be good to go. They can look terrible and still be working. Take care.

[@phillipdickinson8557]

Chris Robert and Issa great job there is always set backs but that's life

[@350mack]

Its apart fix it 😊 happy farming

[@WilliamStevens007]

Good start to harvest 2024 Chris, Just a shame about the gearbox.

[@timheasley612]

I used to work for liberty body and trailer in New Castle, Pennsylvania, and Cobra was right next door,,, yes i was a aluminum welder and yes i got the piss burned out of me. Lol the year was 1978 i took welding in Votech after graduation liberty offered me a raise yep 3.45 $ an hour let's say i was gone great video Chris we're all pulling for you full speed ahead 💪💪 thanks Robert and Isaiah for helping an awesome man out 🙏🙏💪💪👍😎😎

[@ChrisPerdue-ky6gb]

Maybe God will bless you with a new pole barn some day

[@vernongilles3244]

Good to see things rolling even with the parts that went into the grain buggy it was probably cheaper than a newer one

[@robertquast9684]

On our Parker the killer of gear boxes is unloading facing up hill. Our auger has enough play that when you face uphill it can pivot open then it starts chattering.

[@appel500]

Successful day!

[@Rcod2013]

Hi from oz chris. $1000 odd dollars for new bolt in gearbox is cheap. No hassels over getting parts and then rebuilding it and 2 year warranty, I'd say real cost would be under 500( new parts end seals could be 500 if you can get them all at same time then value of time to strip clean and reassemble could easily be 500

[@poupy132]

Great job Chris. I could see you were nervous

[@arthurok327]

Howdy Chris, Yenko, Isiah, Robert, hope ya'll are doing well, That's great the crew Chief is hauling corn for you on this trial run, but when are you gonna get your tractor trailer back, you were saying you'd have it by corn harvest, man I hope it's soon, that is beautiful tractor trailer you have, and I'm really looking forward to seeing it in action, Stay safe, God Bless and Farm on my Friends

[@waynejones5239]

Nice video

[@jasonbeecher509]

Fry equipment has been good with gearboxes

[@kennethrunyan3168]

Open bottom sieve to 3/8" use a bolt to measure . Adjust top sieve down to keep stems and cobs out of sample. Will be close to 3/8" also.

[@hans5978]

Could you use the fertilizer tender for additional storage/ truck loading?

[@jasonservary477]

Not a bad start to 2024 harvest Chris

[@ihguy2113]

dont half ass things on that 8820 with a little crank of the screw on the fuel pump it will keep up with the 9600 all day

[@mikemoss9968]

Good job on the combine good luck with the buggy

[@robreesor5011]

Cart was a gamble anyway..something was bound to be wrong with it as cheap as ya got it so a few extra bucks keeps it going a couple more years until you hit the big time😂

[@EugeneMartin95]

You need a grain buggy with a bigger auger the combine can almost shell corn faster than buggy unloads

[@DuffyAg]

Door was only half open...

[@Istatefarmer]

How do you know it doesn’t have an indicator…

[@logan99gs-k1k]

​@@Istatefarmerbecause it's his equipment

[@ihguy2113]

close your bottom selive for a cleaner sample

[@dailesperry8256]

You could of spent more on a grain buggy and ended up with the same issue that could cost more to fix

[@Otherrandomguy42]

Yep anytime you're buying used equipment at an auction you can figure there was something wrong with it that's why it was there. So much nicer looking cart could still have the exact same problems. I found that out the hard way one time buying a round baler at an auction that was only 3 years old main gearbox was shot. Whoever consigned it had ran it out of oil from a piece of twine had wrapped around the shaft and took the seal out

[@zcole6612]

A new Auger and some new tires and wheel bearing and hell you have a new grain cart

[@robreesor5011]

Why's he need tires and a wheel bearing to fix a cooked gearbox?

[@zcole6612]

@robreesor5011 you missed the point that if he replaces a couple of parts it's pretty much a new grain cart . Why buy another there isn't much to them .

[@robreesor5011]

@@zcole6612 yeah but he doesnt even have a wheel bearing going and the tires are perfectly fine...just change whats broken and run it until he has the money to buy something better or bigger down the road. Why fix whats not broken your just wasting money.

[@zcole6612]

@robreesor5011 I'm saying a couple of new parts and it's a brand new cat . Minus the paint job

[@robertsevert]

Would it be possible to replace the gears, bearings and seals for less money if the rest of gearbox is good? Those LED lights really make things so much brighter 👍

[@traviskelly5480]

BTO yes sir.

[@rogermcbride5611]

❤

[@anthonybarton2103]

First day was not bad Daffy

[@ElysiumNZ]

Well at least it wasn’t the harvester that broke down. Better the buggy gearbox than the harvester gearbox.

[@jasonwoods3384]

way to go Isaiah

[@martincassidy682]

As they say, a stitch in time, saves nine

[@lathammarek927]

Call me petty but that black paint over the welds and plate on the cart drive me nuts!!!

[@thersbugb7362]

How will the different Tires effect the ride along the roads as well as the field work?

[@ihguy2113]

let it return more for a cleaner sample

[@billkroczyk3749]

Just remember t o only have good days and better days and everything in your life will go perfect if you believe that I will sell you some oceanfront property in Arizona cheap no but seriously I know the feeling you are feeling with you just putting everything back together you kind of have that big old pit in your stomach you're good you'll get it done

[@johnsandell4501]

Congratulations on your harvest. It will help pay for the gearbox. Wrenching ahead👍👍👍

[@darylhamann2310]

Did you do something with that muffler? Was it blocked? Not good for engine having that back pressure on it

[@cmtfarms9777]

First day chaos

[@donbell8651]

Grain cart.

[@burtzorn4059]

As long as the snow stays away. LET THAT CORN DRY DOWN !!!! Seriously try to run in the day light (give or take) 8:00 to 7:00 . Take care and stay safe !!!!!

[@mikegozdziewski3289]

Just think of all the big you tubers. Welkers, Larson, Brian’s F&V, Zach. They all started the same way used equipment fix it up until they could afford newer equipment . My guess Duffy will be successful. Doing it right working hard paying as he goes. Now I may not like the way he does things, but so what. It works for him.

[@mattphillips4260]

shame you can not find a 800 bushel cart you could put on your big horse

[@O.KFarmToysdeutzallis6275]

Nice. I just went and spent a couple grand on Tedder parts and Napa filters. Need to head to Walmart tomorrow to get oil and break cleaner. Their the cheapest place to get retells engine oil. But I also get to spend 6 grand on baler repairs and need to get some bobcat parts. 300 bucks for a dang timing belt. But I still love farming. Going to teach my sister how to do oil changes on tractors during thanksgiving break

[@farmahedvikaslatinky]

Ahoj. Chce to vytrvat. Vážím si všech, kteří to nevzdají kvůli malým nesnázím. Zejména farmářů na celém světě. Ať se ti daří a Bůh Ti žehnej.

[@O.KFarmToysdeutzallis6275]

@ thank you for your kind words

[@classicxl]

sucks the kw wasn’t able to be completed for the Harvest, but i would rather have it done right vs rushing the repairs

[@DuffyAg]

It should be done and put in this week and hoping the dump trailer lined up for it works out

[@TravisDunlap-i5h]

@@DuffyAghow many semi trucks does one guy need?

[@DuffyAg]

@TravisDunlap-i5h more the better

[@TravisDunlap-i5h]

@ why not have one nicer truck instead of 3 low quality one?

[@DuffyAg]

@TravisDunlap-i5h because they each have their own place. I wouldn't want a nice truck field spreading manure in corn stalks. Plus the 2 "low quality" ones just make money and keep going. So if it makes dollars it makes sense

Looks like you need to adjust a little more to clean up the sample. Before anybody says keyboard warrior I combine between 500thousand and a million bushel a year of high moisture and dry and would be embarrassed with that sample.

[@masterful7574]

Corn “stocks”?????????

[@patrickaherne3598]

Dude, the grain buggy was always going to be a gamble. Your operation and income wasn't going to support an 80K dollar used cart, or a 100k new one. Either way, you're ahead.
