The Grossest Part of Farming

[@johnwayne-kd1pn]

This is what actually keeps society running people, so a big thanks to all the farmers!

[@CommentaireCarotte]

It's also what will destroy the society. At 11:04 you can see the soil that is bare dirt. No cover crop, excessive tillage, no organic matter, and the bacteria die, releasing carbon into the air and forcing "farmers" to use synthetic fertilizer. It's also bad because the soil absorbs less water, so you are more vulnerable to drought. The soil being dried also means water washes away the top part instead of seeping in.

[@enigmaticentertainment4267]

Did I keep you waiting.

[@janmalek6111]

As well as the machinery manufacturers, fuel producers etc. You can extend this to a very big part of the society.

You are a great personality so that's one reason why I really enjoy your Channel, but as a young feller I was a farm boy in upstate New York, and you're bringing back so many memories even though we raised cattle and sheep, we were helping out neighbors during harvest. During the summer I was tossing bales and then the fall it was corn. I wasn't tossing corn that would be silly... Those were great days. Gosh it's been 50 years. Holy smokes! I miss my FFA jacket 😕 But anyway, love the channel, love the nostalgia and I can't wait to watch more. 💜🌞 May peace and love be with you always, Brother John-Magdalene, SJC

[@jjsmith475]

So great I found this. Many many years ago my aunt and uncle had a 1500 acre farm just south of Ritzville, WA. As kids we would visit and we had a blast. They had crops and also cattle, pigs, chickens and who knows what else. My uncle decided to start a combine inside the metal barn and also decided to not tell the rest of us. About killed me from a heart attack. Man. My cousin used to have the job of crawling under the combine to clear branches and debris while it sat there idling. This was way back in the 1970s. My uncle retired the year before mount saint Helens erupted dumping ash all over eastern Washington. He had sold the farm to someone else. Had a bunch of great times there. It’s fun to see a modern version of farming like this. Stay safe and healthy Laura, Grant and family.

I remember back in the 70's those cutting blades were soft riveted to the bar. Nice to see they are bolted in these days which makes it easier to do a field repair. I'm guessing though they are also easier to vibrate loose?

[@GromaticiAeternus]

[@ZippyThePinhead]

Your family reminds me A LOT of mine who were farmers. Most of my cousins drove the machines like you are. When I would go to visit during the summer one of my uncles would put me to work too, and I made a little money while I was there. He had a spray rig on the front of a tractor with 6 seat across the front with spray wands going to each, and we would spray for Morning Glory & Cockleburs. Mind you this was eons ago before the cancer lawsuits from herbicides started happening, I don't know if spraying is still done that way anymore. They used to farm wheat, soybeans, cotton, and occasionally milo.

[@dimentions9278]

This reminds me of Clarkson’s farm. Ever since that show I’ve been so intrigued by how incredible farmers are.

I'm right there with you. I found this channel as a recommendation from my latest obsession of Farm Simulator 22.

[@coffeeis4closers]

OMG! those boots and the shorts..... Amazing! What a woman. Keep it up. America needs more of what you have.

[@rightsideofthegrass8114]

Those units that do the cutting are sickle sections (the part you found laying in the header). Some are smooth, others are serrated (such as yours). As the sickle moves back/forth, the sickle sections cut the stems against ledger plates. They are removable plates on the guards that provide the shear edge for the sickle sections to work against, cutting the stems. This is how they worked in former days ... Also, in former days, the sickle sections were rivetted to the bar, not bolted such as yours. We used 7 Ft sickle mowers to cut grass crops. The sickle sections were smooth. We replaced the sickles once or twice per day before sharpening. After a season, the sections were worn out and all sections were knocked off (rivets drilled out), and replaced with new sections. Also, the ledger plates on the guards were replaced once per season - drill out the rivets and replace. As a side note, being able to cut 25-30A per day, per mower, was a very productive day. With three mowers, we had to put in long day to get 80A cut.

[@InquisitiveSearcher]

Interesting, we called the part that Laura found in the bean head a "knife section" and yep, in my day they were smooth not serrated but the ledger plates were serrated. (sort of) We would pull the whole knife bar out each day and sharpen each smooth knife section cutting surface. At the same time we checked each knife section for "tightness" and if it was loose we had a railroad iron section we used as a portable anvil and we would take a ball peen hammer and "swell" the rivets to make each knife section tight. If a knife section broke we would grind off the top of the rivet and then use a hammer and punch to drive the rivet out. We never used a drill. I don't think our mower would have had the clearance to allow for bolts to be used to hold the knife sections in. Aaaahhhh the good ol days.

[@rightsideofthegrass8114]

@@InquisitiveSearcher Yes, ... I think I remember "knife section" used as well. Yes, smooth sections and serrated ledger plates. Oh my, ... the railroad iron portable anvil, ... right on point!!! We had one that was about 8" long and heavy. But, you are exactly right. It could be put under the sickle bar as the anvil when doing the rivets. We had a heavy hammer and some punches to do the setting of the rivets. We had no portable grinder, hence the use of drill. We had a large, very heavy 1/2" Milwaukee drill for these uses. For the sickle sections, we used a cold chisel to cut off the heads, then a pin punch to drove out the rivet. No, our mower would not have room for bolts either. We used 7 ft New Idea pull-behind mowers for cutting/swathing grass crops. We also did some straight cutting of Spring grains (wheat, barley, oats) with a JD 55 combine, 12 foot header. This was very easy cutting, when compared to cutting the seed crops with the New Idea mowers. I wonder why we did not use hot rivets?

[@robertheinkel6225]

I have repaired many of those sections. Ours was riveted in place.

[@cwp1alpha]

A "Slip Clutch" is a torque overload protection device. It's installed in a shaft system where something down stream could jam and it "slips" so the transmission or engine up stream won't get damaged when it is over loaded.

Yep! Those and shear pins protect and save on even worse damage.

@Fred54 : I always thought of the ratcheting slip clutch as protecting the more delicate downstream device from being destroyed by the much more powerful and robust upstream equipment. The clutch limits how much power can be applied to the downstream hardware.

That’s what you would think but most farmers don’t do that because 1. It’s usually freezing outside at the end of harvest and 2. They just want to be done for the winter so they simply put it off until the next year. Might sound stupid but you would understand if you did all this work

Right On. Most of the work is done after harvest and cleaning up equipment is part of it, definitely makes your equipment last longer, stay in better condition , and ready to go for next season. Most of all it helps cut down on unnecessary expenses.

When I was growing up we had some round-top hopper cars on the siding at the Pesotum in-town tower that took on the dregs of a silo full of soybeans. They got left sitting there and the rocking and wind and age of the ties ended up letting two drop their trucks down between the rails. The IC showed up to snatch them away and discovered they had five month old soybean dregs in them and had been open to the weather so they hooked up to a hydrant and washed em down on the ballast. They used a re-railer and left with the cars but left about 5 tons of soy laying in the tower's siding... at the start of the rains. A hard-up Opossum decided to try to eat some and died in the pile. Flies came and laid eggs and their maggots died in the pile. 25lbs of lye and about 300lbs of crushed rock salt were spread on the mess and the smell mostly went away. There was rotting soy between the rails for six more years. Laura... remember to clean out that bucket boot at the end of harvest. Soybeans smell so nice when they're not rotten. You simply do not ever want to discover rotting rats in the bucket boot in the rotting soy.
