We accidentally bent the bean head

We hit a rock and bent the cutterbar on our draper. Hopefully the sickle doesn’t break before we get the beans harvested!

I'm 75 years old and harvest season never gets old. It's wonderful to watch your drone footage. When I get to Heaven, I'm going to ask if I can just sit and watch planting and harvesting.

Not having enough storage is a great problem to have!! 86 bushel beans are super! Very happy for you.

[@darin5250]

Pat your self on the back for the awesome video. Well done

[@willian.direction6740]

Great to see your ideal harvest weather, here in South Australia it won't stop raining so the harvest probably wont be starting until December. Nicer than Drought though just sayin.

The receipt printer had me going into full farmer fix mode: a small box with drain holes drilled in and some 3M double sided tape and presto a receipt catcher. Now that I got that out of my system, congrats on the harvest and here to more smooth sailing.

Wow! thanks for another great harvest video, so nice of you to video and show us none farmers the hard times and the good times you go through.

[@tedwazonek7956]

Another great video as usual…👍🏻✌🏼🙏🏼🚜

Just came across your channel and I am addicted! I’ve always wanted to drive farm tractors and be a farmer, than you for making these videos and keep up the great content!

to straighten the header, 1) remove sickle, 2) take guards off in the affected area and another foot or so. 3) get a small chain (just big enough for the guard bolts to go through and a 5 - 10 ton hydraulic jack. 4) put the jack on the top of the hump, bolt the chains on each side at the start of the straight areas (over the top of jack) and do a little controlled jacking. It seems you need to ack it into a reverse bend then let off. With a little practice on chain placement and how much jacking you need to do, you can get it really straight again. We do this at least every year on our header, always hitting rocks, no need to replace the pan as JD will tell you. Doesn't weaken it at all.

I love harvest time in Iowa. Just a great time. I will be in Palo Alto next week for pheasant hunting. I agree corn is king, it makes great tasting beef, pork and pheasants. ANF.

Good to see a good harvest. You will get to sleep a lot easier. Paul

[@blackberryfarm7179]

All that hard work coming to a successful harvest!

[@PRRGG1]

gosh I love these videos, nothing else like fall harvest. combines have been very busy all around NW Ohio.

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video Carl

[@robertpautsch5093]

What a great feeling it must be to have a low stress, apparently bountiful harvest and great weather. Thanks as always for taking the time to share your life with us. Over the years I have followed you, I have felt like you and I were farming together. Your vicarious partner, Bob

[@bigredgreg1]

Good content. 👍

[@jamesryan9206]

Great video I love the drone footage.

[@kopenhagenkid]

Good luck combining your 2022 crops

[@temper9993]

THANK YOU for another great video. I look forward to your new videos and the knowledge gained by watching them. I'm from the city so I can appreciate what you guys do to bring us our food. Again, THANK YOU.

[@jerrymiller276]

Mmmm. You've harvested many meals there. I hope our cornbread has some of your corn in it, but no matter, it's the thought that counts.

[@heatherkohlwey8379]

There is nothing more beautiful than harvest time. I'm so happy your harvest is going so well. Stay safe and God bless.

[@rob7652]

Great video as always! Love the drone footage!

[@dodgebrothersfarmandranch9206]

Thanks!

[@sashcraft51]

Enjoyed your very educational narrative. Love harvest.

[@lizgreenley1822]

Cool video on harvesting beans and corn. Interesting and inspiring!

[@darrelllowery8854]

Try threaded rods on each side of bend back bone with a very stiff piece of heavier steal on top of rods then put a hydraulic jack sitting on the bend and top of jack on the heavy piece

[@waynejones5239]

At least you're dealers doing what they can

[@dodgebrothersfarmandranch9206]

Yeah they have really done a lot to keep us moving

[@e.a.bfarms]

How's the corn moisture running? Sure is taking its time drying down up here!

[@Josh-of-all-Trades]

I am curious what kind of two-way radio you jave there in the combine. Doesn't look like CB, but some newer CBs look a bit more modern than they used to. Is it business band?

[@dodgebrothersfarmandranch9206]

This is a midland micro mobile. GMRS

[@reetthen]

Pre liked as always

[@dodgebrothersfarmandranch9206]

Much appreciated!

[@darrelllowery8854]

Put rods through holes that hold guards on

[@lonepine5596]

What’s the corn yielding?.?

[@raincoast9010]

What ever happened to "thanks for coming down my road" that you used to say?

[@robruen4567]

Maybe you could buy a new Draper head from John Deere seeing as how “great” the new corn head is….
