Combine Stuck on a Hill

I got the John Deere S780 Stuck on the side of a hill. I've never experienced experienced anything like it. The combine slid 20ft down the hill and there was nothing I could do to stop it. Regardless the S780 is far superior to the 9870 in the mud.

God Bless you Zach for helping the neighbor! My hat (that I ordered from you) is off to you! I remember as a kid, my dad and others did the same thing for a family who had similar troubles. Makes a man proud of knowing that MN Millennial farmers are doing the same thing! This was near Rothsay, MN. Proud to be a former farmer! Now a OTR truck driver. Just hit a milestone of 2 million miles of accident and ticket free miles last May. My father taught us boys well as your father has taught you. Proud to be a subscriber and love your sense of humor and seeing the BIG GREEN! Hope I can meet you and family someday! God Bless!

Hey Zach, here’s a nugget for you. When the forecast says 20% change of rain that actually means that 20% of the area will see rain. It doesn’t mean that it won’t rain 80% and rain 20%. And the area in question is the DMA of your local news station. Just FYI

HeyLudo As a non-farmer I’m wondering about endrows. What is their significance?

[@ben20197]

BigMac39 it allows for the machinery to turn around after a long pass, you can also park your trucks in them if it is dry enough. They are planted diagonally to the main rows. However due to the increased traffic they typically don’t yield as much as the main field.

[@C8mon]

@@ben20197 Awesome thanks for the info.

[@robertheinkel6225]

A few years ago I was helping a farmer combine down corn. One person would drive, while the other walked in front, untangling the corn from the head. We would take turns, but it was a long day.

As someone who farms hard hills I feel the fear of sliding down a bank.

Especially into water pond... I just wanted to get the tires dirty on the truck and the road disinterested and it nearly rolled over... Had to leave it and climb out the passenger window. Good thing the air box was not in the water like the mirror and steering wheel... It fired up... Pulled out with the help of another 4x4 and a chain. Quite the pain to clean.

[@eeengineer8851]

Grew up in S Kandiyohi Co and N Renville Co area and we called them end rows. Head lands was the term for the first 'round made in the center of the field with the moldboard plow. We'd go out and "start a headland" by eyeballing something as best as possible on the other end of the field and trying to keep the tractor straight on that heading. Nobody even thought of GPS or guidance systems then.

In Germany we call Headleands or End Rows "Vorgewende". "Wende" is loosely a translation for turning. So "Vorgewende" means "pre turning" directly translated. An describes the area of the field used for turning.
