Very nice. Getting some nice yields to work that 4555. That is nice corn, tall and even stand. A lot of that up here as well. But some fields, the ears didn't quite finish cause of all the rain we had in August. Not enough sun. Always a pleasure seeing your corn harvest with the older muscle tractors.

Your discussion on why does your father always do the hooking up? Just like any other industry, farmers also identify the critical path of the cycle event, which in this case, the hauling, unloading, filling and returning to the corn field, is the critical time cycle, the longest time. The person with the extra or slack time hooks up to not take time away from the critical path cycle. To do otherwise, would increase cycle time of the job. You guys are right on the ball!

I remember when we had some really good corn, ears to the fenders of a 7800 2wd, taking 3 rows into a NH 892 with a 919R3 head. The tractor was howling, and I think it was around 25 ton corn. Glory Days...😊 Great video, Mike!

Hey, I appreciated the opportunity to drive fancy tractors, lol. The corn looks good, but we are fighting mud down here something fierce. Ended up chopping one way because we couldn’t chop uphill in one spot, could only go downhill and let gravity push me through the wet spots. Question. For whatever reason, I thought you had more than two self-unloading wagons, would you consider a third one to reduce your downtime? And I know you’re leery about the speed hitches, but man do they look like the cat’s ass. After spending all day jumping on and off that tractor to hook up wagons (and chains) yesterday, I’m feeling it today, lol. Kept thinking one of those hitches would’ve come in handy.
@mikep7810
7 ай бұрын
No, we only have the 2 wagons. We've talked about getting another one but there are so many things on the list I'd rather get. The speed hitches wouldn't be bad on our corn ground because its flat but I get leery on the alfalfa ground because its more rolling ground
