Did the L combines have hydro issues??? My neighbor had an LII with 4wd. I know he put several hydros in it over the years. You really having fun grinding with that JD 620. A different Neighbor had/has a JD 620 his father bought new. It has never been off the farm. It also never has been wet. His Mother made a cover out of an old bed spread when the tractor was new. It still gets pulled inside and covered up with that "custom" cover after every use. They keep it waxed and it shines like new. The tach shows 6000ish hours.
Not much of a challenge for the L Gleaner other than short/thin beans don't feed well. We had beans that went through the blizzard of 1978...cut them in the spring. They made 25 bpa...not very pretty though. The 620 chugs right along on the grinder-mixer. Lucky you had the magnet to keep the tramp iron out of the feed!!!
I've got a bear cat grinder. I feed corn stalk bales throught it by hand. I can drag the engine down and slip belts on my 4010 John Deere. My 4020 John Deere is 10 more horse power. I have not done that on my 4020.
Im very impressed with how well the 620 runs the feed grinder! I've knocked out a pto clutch and a headgasket on 2 different 4020s on our hammer mill! Now when its time to grind feed,our big horse 4430 gets put to work and it'll grunt if im not paying attention to the feed rates of the cereal crops im feeding into the mill! Those grinders take stupid amounts of torque to run! Very impressive that the 620 runs it as well as it does! Maybe I should hook up one of our 830s to the mill next fall...
Thank you Brandon, love the feed grinding videos. Takes me back to the good days of being on the farm when I was younger. Love therest of your videos also sir. Thank you for taking us along.
Great video thanks for sharing I’m wondering if you could have lightly disked the beans and they would have came up this spring and how well they would work lol
