I can't wait to get my drone out there for a flight. This is crazy. Nice work. You must be exhausted by the end of the day. Not many folks realize t4he amount of work you are doing to keep that machine upright and on the track.
Very exhausted some days. It can be a lot of work but I love sharing what I am doing with you guys and maybe even the pages of history. Who knows how long people will even be doing this stuff.
A JTI guy came out and pulled the motor. They replaced the block, but the head and all the other parts were just moved over to the new block. Saved a ton of money and the combine runs again.
What are you going to plant in that ground? Does the big yellow ” wide vehicle “ sign on the front annoy you? I couldn’t stop looking at it, but I suppose you get used to it. Great vid as usual, good to see you’re having fun whilst working, always a bonus. Cheers.
The stuff that looked real dead will be peas, it was barley last year. The first person shots where it is real green will be fallow for a year. Moisture is our great limiter. Theres not enough water to plant peas or rotate anything else in. We must let it rest or it won't grow good wheat on it.
I want to cut it off, but there are so many clueless people on our highways doing 75 on their phones. They sometimes don't notice im a tractor I think.
@@aubreywilliams6153 My dad just informed me we got .10 of an inch of rain in April. 2nd driest on record aside from 2 years ago. We got more rain today than all last month. We could always use it here. It is interesting how you guys deal with the opposite thing elsewhere.
If its slimey i can slide to places i dont wanna be, but i have yet to need someone to pull me out of anywhere in The Vector yet. A lot of guys in spring get stuck tho and need pulled out when its wet.
Any time Charles. I went up to Idaho and got some shots of a front mounted boom sprayer and rode around with a farmer up there. Should make for a good video. We shall see. Thanks for watching this one.
You're always going to be seeding behind you and it can be worse on steep up and down bits. The 8 and 9 series CASE combines have auto leveling sieves that help with the hills. That, combined with the leveling systems by Hillco...we harvest most of it. You would be surprised by the yields compared to the little rainfall we get. We farm all 4 sides of an acre though.
@@TrevorStrutherstechnology has come a long ways with auto leveling, robotic drivers , satellite controls and records. Do you make 80 bushel acre on winter wheat or is spring wheat better ?
@@danthurman9076 The winter wheat is always going to be better here. It averages around 70 but we have years where its around 100 and others where we collect crop insurance because the wheat burns up from lack of moisture. We plant in the winter to make the most of the wet winters we have here. Once May ends, the rain ends until about October again. Spring wheat is more used to clean up fields with cheat grass and is often done as a spring re-crop. We have to leave it fallow every other year to let the soil get moisture again.
@@TrevorStruthers I farmed corn, soybeans, little bit of alfalfa and spring wheat. It was more for straw than just the hard red wheat, bedding for sheep, cows, pigs, and a couple of horse. I see now the 20 and 15 inch row spacing, talk of 300 bushel an acre of corn and 80 bushel beans. Seed prices are through the roof ! 86 CSR rating land selling beyond the moon ! One 80 acre tract sold for $ 1.3 million bucks ! Cash rent at $300.00 per acre! Investors bought the land from a widow for $ 625 per acre in 1988. Where will it end? Bust is coming again I feel.
