Great drone shots Brian, it's always nice to see the "bigger picture" so to speak. You don't need to apologize for taking time off with the family. Keep up the great work.
Love it when Bobs in the combine. Time to turn on the captions and have a laugh at what they think he says. I can understand him perfectly but the AI is having trouble.
Hope You and Kayla enjoyed your break in July, it was much deserved. I bet your pleased that you've finished harvesting now, how did it go, as far as i can make out, you seem happy with what you got done, so all seems ok. As usual, thanks for all your hard work, and look forward to a slightly less stressed Brian in the next video. Well done crew!!! From UK.
Thanks for another great video Brian. It was interesting and enjoyable to watch. You were talking about your combine and lights at night. I googled Fendt and it shows a lot more lights in front than what Bob had on. Might be a separate switch or something or possibly a fuse out for the top lights. Anyway, the media shows lots of front lights. You might want to check on that. Just a suggestion. The drone footage was interesting. You have a lot more tree lined fields than I imagined. You also have a lot of small fields here and there. Makes it tough for always moving equipment. In my home state of Iowa we are not used to that. Most of our fields are pretty good size and don’t have to do a lot of moving equipment from one field to another. The way you farm is kind of new to me as far as having small fields scattered around. Thanks for the drone footage Brian to highlight that situation. Looks like the Fendt did a pretty good job with the wheat harvest. Knew it would!!! Nice piece of equipment!!!!!!! Suggestion. Maybe you could fabricate a hitch on the back of the combine so you could pull your head with the combine??? Would really help. Thanks for everything Brian. Good videos. You all take care and be safe. The Iowa farm boy. Steve 😊😊👋👍🚜✅🇺🇸🇺🇸
Missed your vids while you were on vacation but glad you had a chance to spend time with your family. Sorry to hear about your dry weather but sometimes you are the dog and sometimes you are the fire hydrant. We had early planting this year in western KY and pretty good rains all season. Corn is drying up now and combines will roll soon.
Great music with the drone shots. I think your dad may want to widen the road patch with the D8 Dozer! It looks like the new combine and header hits the spot for what you need.
Bob farmed when you only had 3 lights. One in back and two in front and if you where lucky one front one worked. So half the fent lights is like day light.
If the Fendt combine is like any other AGCO product, I'm guessing the drive lights on the bottom need to be off for the top to be super bright. Our MT655D can't run the caution lights and the lights at the same time, nor run all the lights on the hood all at once.
Was driving the old 760 MF and sometimes feeder house blocked. No reverse. Usually a stone the cause. One day I blocked 6 times one morning. Was combining ryegrass so a lot of straw. I was ready to set the thing on fire. Was not an issue in wheat. Following season blocked on ryegrass again. We had a weather break so decided to check slip clutch. Turns out it was badly worn on the spigot the drive sprocket locates on so clutch was walking around every revolution and never stood a chance of driving. Remachined all surfaces, sleeved the spigot back to a close tolerance and reassembled. Never missed a beat till the day it retired. Boy oh boy was it frustrating till I sorted it. Took 20min to unblock every time.
Just a ball park on your wheat yields??? Ours (North-East Iowa) was kind of disappointing at around 75-80 bu. average. We just had too much rain so even with spraying the disease really hurt the yields. We do not double crop as our wheat is on ground we need to spread manure on. We then lime and deep till for corn next year. Also we need the straw for bedding. It seems like the Fendt is working well so far. They are an interesting machine. We demoed an early one and would really like to try one of the updated ones. Maybe this fall it will work out.
Great Video Brian, I enjoy watching the video then going into google maps and trying to see which fields you are working in, today's video where the drone showed the new house gave a clue, Don't worry I'm not going to stalk you! I live in New Zealand, Travel to USA?? a chance would be a fine thing! thanks for sharing
Got to feel good to get done planting the double crop beans. We used to raise wheat on the farm and plant double crop beans. The family quit this practice because they lost to much money. I hope you get rain so they grow.
Amazing amount of trees to farm around, I have 1000 acres of trees on my farm but they’re pretty much in 2 big chunks, makes a bloke think about getting the bulldozer out 😂
Don’t worry about being a little late. Hope you really enjoyed your down time and had a chance to recharge yourself! I really enjoy the vids because you just put it out there instead of “mansplaining” everything like some others do.
Hey Brian, the views from the drone of the fields you fellas were working in, for some reason made me think they would make a good golf course, and I hate golf, I know it's a blasphemy kind of thought, but you know. Dave D.
Too bad on some of those odd shape fields you can't straighten out some of the curves by removing some of the trees and moving the boundaries out....but imagine those aren't your fields and are leased. There were a few grassy hills that would roll into the field more with a D8 making more farming acres.
13:00 I agree BRIAN !! those looked like the ROAD LIGHTS not the FIELD LIGHTING !!!! there whould be lights around the combine in FIELD MODE shouldn't it???
Yo brian/ i have a serious question what kind of weed and brush liquid killer do you use on the farm and fields . i need a brand name and how long dose it last my back yard looks like the farm i used live on back in my younger days can you please comment back old geezer im lol i need help thank you
Did the rain yesterday come in enough time to at least save the soybeans? I am sure the corn had to take a hit! Sure stinks being on the short side of it ! Happy birthday the other day BJ!
Howdy, yup, as stupid and ridiculous as it sounds, it is true, Matt Griggs had a load rejected not to long ago, but he just dumped the load right back in his grain bin, and loaded up another trailer, and took it back to the elevator, and it passed, shows just how ridiculous they are being, rejecting loads for deer poop.. never in my life, being 5th generation, have I ever heard of a load being rejected for deer poop..
@@mikedemott1720 in my area west ky the floods of last july and august pushed all of them in the hills where wheat is grown. And we had enough storms timed right to lay a bunch of wheat down. Modern heads get the wheat better. Our deere 35’ platforms can switch from rigid wheat to soybean robot with 2 button pushes.
