I started doing this same thing after I seen you was doing this the first year you did. It’s interesting seeing how many hours gets put on each machine every year. Have fun at the show. I used to go every year when I was young. Been a long time since I been there. It’s an amazing show.

Just an FYI. On your new bean head check the wiring harness that goes through the frame above the feeder house. Head trouble with ours it's also a 900 series. It's a known problem mice eat tha wires on there. Your height and conture master won't work

Love watching the hour edition every year end. Would you consider doing a updated equipment tour again in the future? Keep the videos coming. Have a safe and Happy New Year.

Great awesome video, happy new year, case needs some tlc

I’ve been looking forward to this!

Very nice. Happy new year.

One thing you may want to consider is planting winter rye, chopping it late May, and then planting beans. I live fairly close to you and do it to feed my beef cows. I get about 7 ton of 65% moisture ryelage per acre and the beans only yield a couple bu less than early planted ones. That would allow you to etc rid of more hay ground. Just a thought.

We fall VT the ground going into beans. Then I think we are going to plant them first thing

You’re absolutely right. The ground is a solar panel capturing light most of the year and it’s important to take advantage of it.

Be neat if you did a total bales made each year too

Can't wait to see the new planter, we traded our 12 row to p&k in Iowa and I seriously thought of you. It was all set up with individual row clutches but we were tired of planting 12 and harvesting 8 so we matched our rows. As for your corn head I would use the JD rolls and put stalk stompers on, saves your tires, crushes the stalks, and lays them over so the tillage can slice the stalks easier. Our combine is red and we pull the spreaders and follow the combine in the same direction with the round baler to just remove the residue that comes through the combine. Takes more acres but we're not stripping the ground bare and the Leaves, husks,and cobs are typically dry. We don't even rake it, however my neighbor tried it that way with a rake after he added stalk stompers and was happy with the results.

To the front tank question. Yes, I have a friend that has a 300 gallon tank on a 4960 bolted to where the weight bracket bolts to. How far away from st Donatus are you?
