New to Us 2388 Case IH, Day 8 of Corn 🌽 Harvest 2020

[@gordonliddy9418]

I've ran the 2388's for 1000's of acres and can say I had a very good experience with these combines. Good Video my friend.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Very few issues we have had with it.

[@DennysCountryLife]

The previous owners of that machine did a heck of a nice job keeping it clean. That's amazing. Congrats, I hope she serves you well!

[@Thomasfarmstn]

It should get us by for a few years, lol!

[@ronniesorter1888]

That is a very nice machine. It's always nice to see a dealership go above and beyond for their customers.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Ronnie Sorter I agree 100%.

[@edadpops1709]

Great video, glad your new combine is working👍

[@Thomasfarmstn]

We are happy with it so far!

[@GerraldFarms]

Nice addition to the farm. I’ll go check out field rows. Have a good weekend.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Gerrald Farms we are happy so far.

[@josephrodgers3119]

Glad you're back up and running. All that fancy stuff is new to me too. Guess I'll get to learn along side ya. Have a great day and thanks for another great video.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Joseph Rodgers thanks for watching!

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

Parking at the end of the driveway at 1am is the universal sign for drop off the combine here... Or I'm outta beer, but too drunk to drive.. I don't remember which one. That fast night time delivery, that was to get it off their lot!! Pulling your leg Russ👍 Nice looking machine!!! Looks great passing the wrecked one.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

This neck of the woods meeting anyone anywhere at 1 am is a Meth deal.

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

@@Thomasfarmstn LOL.. yup. Neighbors a couple miles away scared off some meth heads trying to get into their vehicles at 1:30 this morning... I thought of you 🤣😂

[@wademcwhirter5158]

Hey Russ, nice upgrade on the combine!!👍 It’s always nice when you can find a dealership that will go the extra mile and get you back in the field that quick!! Nice clean combine, but like you said, it won’t stay that way for long!👍 Hopefully you don’t have any more breakdowns this harvest, have a good weekend!! 👍🍺👍🍺👍🍺👍

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Wade McWhirter thanks! We are happy with it. I got to run it some (I thought Dad was filming). It eats corn!

[@griggsfarmsllc]

That’s a real nice looking late model 2388. You’ll really like that hydraulic reverser

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Griggs Farms LLC we’ve been wanting a 2388 for a long time. My friend farms about 2000 acres and runs one. He says you can just keep rebuilding them. I’ll watch you latest video tonight. I want to see the carnage, lol!

[@griggsfarmsllc]

Thomas FarmsTN yeah you can and they’re fine machines. Ran a 2366 for 5 years. But I gotta say I love the flagship machines even more. Very easy to work on and wide open. Plus no more changing rotor belts which we did frequently in beans. Best of all don’t have to leave cab to unchoke it. But my biggest problem was the 2366 couldn’t carry a Draper head which I needed badly for doublecrop beans. You can put a 30’ Draper on your new combine and I highly recommend it whenever you can get the money to do it.

[@MsdebinBC]

Mighty fine machine now your gonna be learning a whole lot with computers you got this 👍....god bless a farmer🙏😉 now i know a celebrity your pod cast interview is pretty good started to listen have to go finish it later stay safe 👍👍

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Debbie L the monitor is similar to the one on my planter. So it won’t be to hard to figure out.

[@millardhayes1884]

Glad you hot going again that's a nice combine.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

It didn’t take long! We were on the ball.

[@sturdivantfarms444]

I went and got a corn header for my buddy couple weeks ago from mountain farm and it was on that combine and i drove it some to run the header. That was a very nice and clean combine.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Yes it is. We take try to take care of our combines maintenance wise. Was the header as nice as the combine? We want to upgrade to an 8 row.

[@Murphyslawfarm]

G'day nice 2388 Case IH mate 👌👍

[@LMDProductionsOfficial]

Be careful with that engine cover. My grandpa opened it inside the shed, forgot it was open, reversed out, and banged it so hard it bent it. Ever since then we had to do a monkey maneuver to get it closed lol.

[@commonwealthfarms5342]

I listen to your guest appearance on Field Rows......that was pretty cool. I never took the time to listen to any podcast before but that may turn out to be my winter time entertainment during the off season. Hope the 2388 works out for ya.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

I got into listening to podcast this Spring. Field Rows is a good one. Every farmer needs to check out Jace D Young. He is an eye opener but I don’t recommend joining his group. Several good podcast out there:

[@pocketchange1951]

👍👌🇨🇦❤, sweet things come in the night, all the best Russ

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Pocket Change yeah I didn’t care to stay up!

[@shaneholst6940]

Looks like a pretty nice combine hopefully it doesn't give you any greaf !👍

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Shane Holst so far so good! It has really been taken care of. And Thanks.

[@johndycus7800]

Again, I’m not a Case fan but that’s a really sharp unit. The 2388 was one of the best combines Case ever made. Looks good man, someone took really good care of it.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

john dycus I think you are in the closet. It’s ok to come out and embrace the Case, lol! Yes we are fortunate to find this one. We love it!

[@chipps1066]

That's an International design with a Case decal.

[@loborobertson7212]

Nice combine 🇺🇸👍👍🤠

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Lobo Robertson thanks. We love it so far.

[@bradmorgan1234]

Keep an eye on that two wheel drive rear axle they will bust under the center. Have seen three broke!

[@Thomasfarmstn]

If we break this one I guess we will go green, lol!

[@bradmorgan1234]

@@Thomasfarmstn no need in going to extremes!!! Lol. I would try gleaner first! But a plate of metal for about $100 will stop the crack!

[@jonathanstancil8544]

Nice machine old buddy!

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Jonathan Stancil yes we lucked up on it. I ran it myself yesterday. It loves to eat corn! Clean sample and hardly nothing on the ground. It was set for corn when we got it. Very little tweaking involved.

[@jonathanstancil8544]

@@Thomasfarmstn the Axial-Flow has always been known as a corn eater and that's a pretty big machine. Certainly dwarfs the old 815's from our youth.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Jonathan Stancil ther is and old advertisement floating around where they interviewed a farmer. Probably fake but he calls it a corn eating f@&!er! If I can’t find it I will send it to you.

[@lannyholland4466]

Good podcast!

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Lanny Holland well... it was something different, lol!

[@lannyholland4466]

Thomas FarmsTN LOL, but for your first podcast it was good.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Lanny Holland thank Buddy!

[@walterlaubscherjr2011]

Nice upgrade on the combine great video are you going to sell the 2366

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Walter Laubscher insurance will probably buy it back. If they don’t want to total it but fix it, we will fix it and sell it.

[@calvary1808farm]

That’s a nice combine. Glad they got it to you quickly. So what’s the plan for the busted one?

[@Thomasfarmstn]

John Murphy it has full coverage so it’s the insurance company’s now.

[@paulwatson7502]

Tell dad, don’t break this one ☝️👍😆

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Paul Watson he about backed into the grain cart.

[@jebaycock872]

Are yall going to fix the old one

[@Thomasfarmstn]

No sir! We had full coverage. Got paid and it went to a salvage yard.

[@familyfarmertn8931]

How much capacity difference did yall notice?

[@Thomasfarmstn]

To be honest I can’t remember. We ran a 1660 the year before, then the 2366 with extensions then the 2388 with extensions. I’ve slept since then, lol!

[@familyfarmertn8931]

@@Thomasfarmstn i know how that is. To much other stuff since then. I think i might go case ih when i upgrade. Thought about a 2366. Run m2 gleaners now.

Are you going to swap out the mud hog out to the new combine?

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Nope! Don’t need it. Not jacked up like it is.

[@ericdaniel7069]

Why did they deliver it at 1am?!

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Because we wanted to get back to the field. The guys who delivered it was Farmers too and they wanted to be in the field as well.

Russ i know how you about corperate dealers. How deere dealer is under blanchard umberalla. You want a tractor price or equipment. Tbey have to call headquarters then call you 3 or 4 days later with a price.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Our local Red dealerships owns about 11 or more other stores. Everything is dictated by headquarters in KY. They are trying to buy up all the dealerships to have a monopoly.
