I have close to a billion clips from last week, and I wanted all this video to match. That is why it is only a 10:33 video. Once I get completely moved into the new house and get all the rooms cleaned up, I will be able to pump out two high quality farming videos a week. Thank you for being patient with me.
We have been getting a healthy amount of rain in Central Iowa. We just get started going good for a day in the field, then rains come and take us out of the field for three days. This video was taken when we were out of the field due to being rained out. In this video I primarily fill the hopper bottom bin and show all the fun activities that come with it. We fill the hopper bottom bin with corn to allow the trucker to easily pull under and auger and fill himself. This way we do not have to be around to babysit the grain set-up.
The hopper bottom was almost empty so I had several things I needed to do. The first thing I did was suck water out of the grain pits with the sump pump. I thought seed beans were going to be delivered to us, so I ended up pulling the Massey Ferguson 4880 out of the big machine shed to make room. Turns out, they ended up changing their mind and did not come.
The Oliver 1950 needed to have the hydraulic oil, engine oil, and coolant levels checked. I also need to fill it with diesel fuel. I had to unhook the seed tender before I could bring diesel to the Oliver. The back box on the seed tender was full and the front one was empty. I was concerned the seed tender might flip over if I unhooked it so I anchored the front end down with the skid loader. I got unhooked with no issues.
Conveniently I parked the 4880 right in the way to get to the Oliver. I had to move the 4880 and then I started filling the Oliver with diesel fuel. The only issue I had with this was that the diesel barrel was empty. I then ran everything back out and filled the tank with diesel and got the tractor fired up and ready to go.
Once the Oliver was full of diesel, I went back to sucking out pits with the sump pump. I thought I overheated the sump pump, but it turns out I just had it unplugged. Daddy Cornstar makes fun of me for that. Once the final grain pit was cleared, we were able to start moving corn. We started by filling the grain cart initially just in case there was a little dampness in the bottom of a pit. We do not want dampness getting into the hopper bottom. While I was getting lunch, Dad filled the grain cart.
After lunch we looked at some ground to see if it were dry enough to plant in, and it was. Dad took off to plant while I monitored the augers. I cleaned up junk in the bin site in the mean time. Ronnie showed up one more time that night and then I finally got the bin full and got some much needed sleep.
