Reviving the gleaner L2 after the M2 burned down. Time to harvest wheat

[@boe4448]

That is some pretty farm ground. I really like look of the Gleaner's, Glad you got through the wheat. I don't blame you for carrying it's a good habit to get comfortable with. My take: I would rather have and not need it, than not have it and wish I did. I carry every day due to the fact our world is a changed place and not for better. So sad. Stay safe and God bless.

[@knappfarms]

Man you need to come to the comments section on every video I Appreciate the positive feedback you should see what some of these clowns say about my carrying you would think I was directly causing them harm glad you enjoy the videos have a good one

[@dobberaaron6658]

Hell yeah another great video. Love seeing them old combines there's only a couple of them around here rather than that your your farm looks amazing. Stay safe God bless can't wait for another video take care

[@briandemas2548]

Glad to see you guy's are back on track!

Reviving the gleaner L2 after the M2 burned down. Time to harvest wheat. Good video for watching. I support your video. Watched the video on July 12, 2022 very like. Thank you so much

[@Lightning613]

Glad you had a backup to finish your wheat harvest..

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

Glad you got it done and you got the needed rain on the corn.

[@Videowatcher2.0]

What ever it takes....good video

[@blacklisterd]

👍👍👍 nice recovery.

[@garysumma5527]

Great video! Only problem with rained on straw is that it's so dirty, holds to much dirt,it still does the job but not as nice!👍😎

[@knappfarms]

Yup we will get something out of it

[@hughperkins707]

L2 is a great combine, ran one for years and then traded for a N 6. 👍

[@artillerest43rdva7]

yes to keep safe with the critters that are around you, but I would think having it in a holster would be safer. the allis-chumers gleaners do a great job harvesting. I watch “dirt, grain, steel” it is impressive the amount they farm. no matter what, it is allot of work, and tied to “mother nature” to get the needed weather for all the crops. wet when needed, and dry to harvest. not to deal with the “muck” out in the field!

[@knappfarms]

Yeah Brandon Shannon has a great channel and close by he has actually come and bought some parts off of one of our combines

[@u.s.a.satire5982]

I'm glad you carry but I think you need a secure holster. So only you can push a button on side to remove it. Don't want anybody sneak up on you from behind or just drop it. Up to you.

[@knappfarms]

When I public I’m always concealed and this holster does have a exact angle for it to come out so if you pull back it’s not going anywhere

[@stevefarms7494]

Is there any saving the M2 ? Or is it too far gone ?? ... It's hard to figure because it looks pretty good then I no looks is not everything ...

[@knappfarms]

The fire was so hot around the hydro it warped the frame no saving it but the parts will help keep another one in the field

[@duanebolen543]

Did you have insurance on that combine or are you going to have to stand the whole thing when you replace it

[@knappfarms]

Nope just liability so out the whole thing

[@andrewpassman8621]

@@knappfarms god, sorry to hear that.

[@thomasmyers1360]

The rain on straw makes good hog straw

[@DUCKDONKEY]

Fuckin’ A boys! Get it done 👍

[@mattaskew3586]

Are you planning on doing any repairs on the L2 and make it your main combine now?

[@knappfarms]

Yeah probably

[@billw4746]

You did not mention how much of a pain in the butt the spring latches can be at the bottom of the feeder house.

[@patriciaagar1896]

What state are you in?

[@knappfarms]

Indiana

[@imoutclimbing]

Can I ask why you're both armed? In ranching, I can understand. But for farming (not sure of your location or circumstances), I don't know any farmers who 'go armed'... Moreover, I can imagine that it would not have went over well at the coffee shop. And on a more humorous note... Try putting down that Gleaner with a sidearm ;-)

[@knappfarms]

We are always armed for personal protection a lot of crazy stuff happens in this world we are right of a interstate an hour south of Chicago had many body’s dumped out here from gang violence up there just a couple weeks ago there was a armed Robby where they pulled a lady out of her car at gun point and stole it 5 miles down the road as for the coffee shop they don’t mind they all know because of the KZbin channel I carry concealed in public but the majority agree with me having it weather they carry or not and I’ll agree time to put the ol M2 down

[@imoutclimbing]

@@knappfarms My how the world is changing, and I'm not convinced for the better. Don't get me wrong, I'm not disapproving, just asking. As far as the CS (circa mid-70s), I was just trying to picture going in armed... Regardless of knowing everyone there, it would have caused quite the stir. Housewives would have found out, clandestine discussions would have occurred, it would have been like a scene out of the Old West (and maybe it was). Different time and place in the cycle...

[@knappfarms]

I would say the world is going down hill at the moment hopefully things turn around but there will always be bad people trying to cause harm to others and I would like to be prepared for that I am glad you asked and we could have a conversation about it though many people instantly think I am in the wrong and am trying to start stuff which is absolutely not the case but I am also proud of the rights I have and enjoy showing some of the world

[@farmerjer9339]

Damn, Im Canadian. No 2nd amendment...dictator for a leader... I shot a skunk two weeks ago. My court date is in a month. And here you guys are armed to the teeth just to farm!

[@knappfarms]

It’s not just to farm it’s to go anywhere and everywhere we legally can if I always have it hopefully I will never need it but it only takes one time of needing it and not having it to change your world

[@brenth9930]

Wow is that a hand gun in the back of your pants? Farming must be more way dangerous there than Canada!

[@knappfarms]

I mean running around for parts and the fact that we are an hour south of Chicago right off the interstate and they find body’s dumped out here all the time and just last month there was a lady got pulled from her car at gun point and robbed about 5 miles down the road so yeah I take personal protection serious

[@brenth9930]

@@knappfarms gees that's really rough, definitely different in Saskatchewan for farming

[@farmerjer9339]

No, here in Canada we've just given up our rights to defend ourselves... If you think im kidding, ive got a court date for shooting skunks that killed my chickens!

[@haroldswick9962]

Sieves and chaffers can be bought out of salvage. You might have saved enough crops to more than pay for them.

[@knappfarms]

We have new ones for fall harvest but didn’t have the option to search for one because we had to harvest that wheat

[@ArmpitStudios]

It’s alive! Good deal.
