[@peanutsmith1462]

Watching little man riding in the tractor reminds me back in the late 80s early 90s riding in John Deere 4455 picking peanuts then he would fall back roll peanut hay until midnight

I use to sit on the armrest/fender wall of a 4755

Hello, Patrick! You have a fine harvest mate...

[@gregrhodes8451]

Great video buddy

[@PatrickShivers]

Thanks Greg

[@buckbatten1609]

Where are you out of? Ocilla is about 20 miles west of us.

[@PatrickShivers]

I’m in between Fort Gaines and Bluffton Georgia. My wife is from Ocilla. You from Douglas?

[@ClevelandBaldwin-w2n]

Hello Patrick is the 4960 pulling a six row combine

[@PatrickShivers]

Yes. It doesn’t take much to pull a peanut picker. You can easily operate one with a 100 hp tractor.

[@allanhartle344]

Good Lord' s Day to you and family.Was fortunate to get a glimpse of you at Moultry,question, how often on the pick up tines for the harvester do their life is down in the sandy before rep lacing them?Being down in that environment do you get a season or less out of them . Thanks for the video's.

[@PatrickShivers]

Depends on how you run your head. If operator runs it to low you’ll replace 4-7 a day. If you run it to high you’ll roll the peanut vines like tumble weeds. So far I’ve broke 3 this season.

[@chrisfrench8511]

Patrick... my group is ready for those BB.

[@MarshallLanier-oi1mk]

How many acres of butterbeans? Cotton prices are not looking very promising, so....who knows? Also....just curious but will you be harvesting them with a machine or with migrant labor?

[@PatrickShivers]

That video was released back in October. I had an acre and a half of fall beans. My main season is spring. Acreage varies from 2-25 per spring. All machine harvest. I have multiple videos detailing the process.

[@johngreer8101]

Where is the old chevrolete you bout and painted up? Hows it doing?

[@PatrickShivers]

1963 GMC C20. I purchased the 2500 single cab Chevy with 6.0 with the intentions of swapping the 63 body onto that chassis. I like the 2013 so much though that I hate to mess with it. Everything works on it and other than the headliner everything still looks brand new on it

[@johngreer8101]

Awesome! I'm planning on doing a 5.3 or 6.0 swap on my 99 short bed regular cab. It has the five speed manual transmission in it but only the 4.3 engine. Should be a lot of fun with five speed and 5.3 or 6.0

[@PatrickShivers]

@@johngreer8101 I love single cabs. I’ve had two 5.3s. Once you go 6.0 you’ll never want another 5.3. 6.0 in a single cab manual would be a BEAST!

[@PatrickShivers]

I just realized you were talking about my 1988. I got to many truck projects 😂. I use it like it’s a side by side utv. I check pivots, run over to the barn and back, close range stuff.

[@colefletcher-ox7xd]

Were I'm from we like our peanuts about 17٪ moisture how many acres of peanut do you have this year?

[@PatrickShivers]

Now that I am on my own I only have 135. When I worked for my father we did 600-800.

[@colefletcher-ox7xd]

@@PatrickShivers dang

[@chris31521]

I also run a 2100. In good conditions how fast do you pick? My ideal speed is about 1.5 but I have gone as fast as 2 in perfect conditions

[@PatrickShivers]

0.9-1.5 (1st or 2nd gear on 4960 with PTO turning 740-790).

[@markisb3585]

How many acres of peanuts can you pick in a day?

[@PatrickShivers]

15 dumping on wagons, 20 if dump cart comes get you.

[@markisb3585]

@PatrickShivers Gotcha. Not too bad of a day

[@fischerthefarmeryt2913]

We have been combing peanuts the last 3 weeks every day except Sunday and we still have 280 acres and we only planted 900

[@PatrickShivers]

How many pickers y’all running? Aren’t you pulling an unload on the go Amadas?

[@fischerthefarmeryt2913]

@@PatrickShivers we have a 2110 and a kmc but the kmc has had a lot of breakdowns and our tractor on the peanut buggy it really just been the amadas and that’s what I run. I have a KZbin short up if you wanna see

[@PatrickShivers]

@@fischerthefarmeryt2913 I watched it last night. It was dusty but I thought I saw an unload on the go arm sticking out in the dust.

[@PatrickShivers]

The unload on the go may have been older short. I see the latest one looks like regular dump

[@lenardo1970]

Imagine an open station and a 1500 or 1580. Long long day😢. Such advances in equipment

[@PatrickShivers]

@@lenardo1970 i use to stand on the trailers in the 80s when my grandpa ran 10 Lillihston Hi-Caps & my dad had the only cab tractor in the field. You couldn’t tell who was black and who was white b/c we were all solid dirt color

[@landonandrews3013]

Hard to beat a 4960

[@ciaog421]

You should not work on Sunday

[@hobbsfarms1915]

It ain’t work if you enjoy doing it

[@chrisfrench8511]

Patrick i am just coming in from the field . Question any red skin nuts around?

[@PatrickShivers]

No. I don’t know anyone that has ever grown them
