Seriously considering trying a MotherBin here. Just finished building our new grain system which should be a huge efficiency upgrade, but i think one these would help even more.
6:15 Showing how to work the controls is verrrry awesome. Thanks for showing how it works. That stuff is really interesting to see for those of us who have never worked a machine like that.
Eastern Grey is a species of Australian Kangaroo , smiles ....these mother bins are common in the australian grain belt particularly Queensland , New South Wales and Western Australia on the larger properties :) ....cheers from Oz !!!
Eastern grey is a mid sized kangaroo that mainly lives in eastern Australia. They can get pretty big, but are not as big as the red kangaroos, that are more of a desert kangaroo.
Just started following you after following Laura and Grant for a couple of years; now I know (for sure) where she gets it from!! You all are the backbone of this great country!! Thank you!!
Great to see your Dad out there checking to see what he could do to help. I'm a slow and steady kind of guy but, I still break stuff. That goes along with me operating 70+ year old equipment! LOL That is an awesome portable bin to keep you moving when trucks are full or not available. With that solid frame and axles, I could see how you could easily bend something if you tried to move it full. 👍👍👍
one treat i just saw was your family photo on the laptop, 3 boys 2 girls, Cale a very Beautiful Wife you have, Lauras so young in the shot, to bad the retweet from some message was blocking the full photo. Sir I am just a city boy in Beaumont California, so love your videos, what a beautiful family you have
I love the way you inform everyone about everything. Even if it may seem common sense. I love the idea of a mother bin, grain car guy can just worry about emptying combines & truckers can just fill their trucks without having to move. It would also be nice if you could preset weight to just press & unload.
I couldn't help but smile when I heard you use the phrase "full bunny". Meredith Bernard is always saying that on "This Farm Wife". While watching your last video, a live, I guessed that Ethan was running the grain cart, a lot of viewers were asking. Keep the content coming. Stay safe, God bless.
‘EASTERN GREY’ is a species of large bodied kangaroo (marsupial) which is found predominantly found along the eastern side of Australia. Cheers from Brisbane, Queensland Australia Cale.
Kyle, I'm an old guy and I just love learning about farming from you and Laura. Retired from the automotive aftermarket parts business. As for me we used to say let the rough side drag. They make stuff to run so run it.
Cale, thanks for the short explanation of the operation of a combine. I have never been in anything like it. I would like to see the rest of the operations of the combine and a tractor. My only experience is a tiny family farm. Less than 100 acres. 50 years ago.
The last row crop operation I worked, it seems like we would just have a motherbin sitting loaded at the end of every corn pivot by the time we were done. The ethanol plant takes corn til 7 or 9 once running the augers and the trucks would take a load home to drop at the elevator in the morning.
That is one big mama look like you can hold a lot my model is slow and steady wins the race but sometimes you do have to push it that's when Daddy takes over but haste makes waste but when you only got 24 hours to get something done you have to speed you only got 24/7 to work but that's a part of being a farmer thank you for everything you do and keeping America going thank you
One of the manufacturers in Australia that makes these bins comes from a small town called Coolamon NSW they sometimes tow a mother bin through towns it is a sight to see
That portable grain bin is an awesome idea! Saves on a whole lot of trips back and time to the house's grain bins to offload the carts or driving all the way back to the road to offload to a semi every time. That along with the Stellar fuel wagon are real time and fuel savers too because of less long trips to empty out!
Awesome logistics going on there right down to the radio protocol. Great professionalism displayed, really good working atmosphere 👏 Now that's how Family and Friends Roll.
A Eastern Grey is a species of Kangaroo that inhabits a large area of Australia. Their cousins the Red Kangaroo lives more in the arid areas of Australia. They do though co- inhabit but don't interbreed.
Saw the Mother Bin this year at HHD; didn't really understand its utility until you showed it in the field. Would be interesting to see if the ROI is worth it...perhaps you'd have to rent it out to others in your area when you weren't using it.
Mother hins are common here in Australia Biggest are 5500 bushels. They can’t be moved full but can be with half or less. They aren’t used as chaser or cart bins but chaser bins empty into them
i am learning things i did not know... my late father was a mechanic in a KIBUTZ and was familiar with agricultre machines, but i am just a city guy! thanks PS: you call your father SIR ! ...
Clearly the Walkabout Mother Bin was helpful. Will we get to see what it can do for you with corn? I think the Walkabout Mother Bin is going to help your operations and should be a purchase consideration.
I remember Laura having to drive the cart back to the house or the parked truck by the road a lot of times to empty it out and also to refuel re-def fluid? That mother bin and the Stellar fuel wagon will save a lot of fuel, time and wear and tear on the equipment and operators for sure because of avoiding those long round trips back to offload and refuel. That mother bin also being able to blend/mix the wetter beans with the drier ones to get the desired 13% range is a huge bonus!
To be honest I would probably use that bin to have all my trucks come at a certain time to load so know body was wasting time getting loaded and unloaded. Just explain what you want to do and tell them to arrive in a certain period of time not sure what your load time is but you can adjust as needed.
We farmed rice, corn, and soy beans in the Sutter Basin in Northern California back in the 60's. I hated dealing with the soy beans when they had been dumped into our grain trailers because they were literally crawling with black widow 🕷 spiders. They'd be crawling everywhere. There was no way I was getting up there to unroll the tarps.
On the first day of fall it was 100 a record for SW Arkansas. I've never seen a seven axil. Unwell it was on some type of low boy. Be careful and have a safe harvest.
That is certainly a crazy cart. Have you seen the Tri-Bine combine? It has a huge integrated grain cart to cut down on grain transfer events. Maybe you can get a demo unit sometime.
The Tribine is an interesting combine! One does not have to use it as they intend: Balzer and Elmers and likely others make grain carts that will take at least two full loads from this combine. I was turned off by Tribine at first because they were talking about carbon capture which is silly Man Made Global cooling, warming, change nonsense. However getting around that: the machine is interesting! However my guess is that it is way to big for this farm. Also this farm plants in hills, and I am not sure that fat tires are the best idea in that situation. We need input from Cale on that! I believe that any compaction that happens on Cale's farm, happens between the rows and not on the seed bed on top of the hill. Given how well the IH 7230 is thrashing the grain, I just would not be in a hurry to get rid of it!
It’s strange to see a mother bin in the USA in a soybean crop. There everywhere in Australia as we cart direct to the grain elevators and need large storage in field to dump and go again.
When you are "pushing" the combine to near maximum capacity, do you tend to push soybeans over the sieves & screens and end up dropping harvested beans out the back of the combine with the soybean chaff?
As much of a pain the wind can be, it sure is a nice winnow when you fill corn or bean trucks. You've got to be delivering a much cleaner product with the wind on all those transfer steps to the final truck to market.
Interesting to see the new large bin actually round a corner after C's explanation of it's axle/wheel capabilities. Was that a kangaroo I glimpsed on the new bins side? Wondering what Australia's got to do with the bin..
Walkabout Mother Bins are US made. Company email includes kangaroo. Eastern Grey is a type of kangaroo(?) No indication/explanation of Aussie connections on Co. website 🤷♂️
Ah. So that’s how the connection came about. Aussies have seen mother bins used out here for years. He saw an opening and ran with it. He’s a smart cookie. Good on ya cobber. Aussie farmers are good innovators
Hey Cale, being an Aussie myself I couldn't overlook the strong Australian flavour around the mother bin ... the kangaroo symbol, and the Aussie references "Walkabout" and "Eastern Grey" (a type of 'roo). What's the connection to Australia?
Our owner grew up in Australia and now has lived in the US for more than 10 years. He made the logo to match what was important to him. His heritage and his now home.
Sometimes the dock on early day beans pays more in the long run compared to the shrink you take on lower moisture beans later in the day. You have to pick your poison, but generally speaking, you pick 15% soybeans.
