When the crop is ready to be harvested and you have good weather, you go. If it’s Sunday, it’s Sunday. I have spent quite a few Sunday’s in the field in various roles.
Spaeth Welding in my book is South Central IL, Metro East STL Area’s BEST Welding Outfit in my book. Hell IL State Troopers Shut Down Interstate 64 for Him to Weld a Heavy Haul Trailer that Broke in Half. They also Welded on some Older DMI 730B Shear Bolt Shanks back on a Ripper that came off on a Newly Picked Up Farm that had been Only Disked for 20+ Years. Old Rippers that go over 6,000 Acres a Year Each, (12,000 for the Pair of Rippers we Ran) and Heavy Compacted Ground that hadn’t been Deep Ripped for 20+ Years don’t mix. Spaeth had to come out and Weld 2 Shanks back on two days in a row, which was Good because the 3rd Day we ripped up a Old Abandoned Oil Well Pipe Sections. It was One of Those Weeks, I can Laugh about it now 10 Years Later though!
My daughter got married a couple of weeks ago and was constantly checking the weather, l told her not to worry about it because it’s not like we were going to cut hay to bale. Keep them coming!
We always have more help Sunday, our part time guy can help all day Saturday and Sunday helps a lot. Usually going by 9 and done by by 5 or 6 on corn. Beans start around 11 and go till 5 or 6
I have heard: cutting wheat/oats/soybeans, picking/cutting/shelling corn, combining them ... but I think the only statement that is true no matter what you use or how you bring in your corn, soybeans & grain is harvesting them.
I know of one farmer for religious reasons they will not work on Sunday. For others I think if push comes to shove a lot of farmers would work Sunday if necessary, especially if a lot of rain in expected on a Monday.
that sucks having to take the draper inn and then have delays. We always replace our draper belts it's not that difficult. Sometimes it's just easier though.
I’ve never seen picking corn with a combine. I’ve shelled a few acres of corn in a combine in my 66 years on earth but, never picked any unless I was running a corn 🌽 picker with a tractor pulling it .
Andy thanks for this! Having a lousy Monday up here in Alberta and then watch your video and can't stop laughing. I'm still trying to figure out how your dad doesn't slap you upside the head. My favorite is when you get in the 780 and run it wide open, the way it was supposedly designed to be used, and then the boss hops in, hahaha. Keep the videos coming and stay safe.
From here on out. Any equipment you buy must have 2 replacement bearing for every bearing on that piece of equipment before you take ownership of said equipment. Future bearing problems solved. Happy Harvest...
