It’s a good crop. And it’s very heavy. Wind or weather can bring the wheat down and it is flat to the ground in places. Makes it very difficult to get a lot done due to how slow the machine has to go. We have to cut very low to the ground to peel it up and too much at one time will slug the machine.

It’s pretty cool in the am - 58°’or so. Hot during the day - close to 100°

So I was wondering…I know that is winter wheat but why is it so far ahead? I didn’t think the custom harvesters were that far north yet. So is that an earlier ripening verity? Or am I wrong about it being early for MT area?

@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking

11 ай бұрын

This wheat is right on time. The reason the harvesters are behind is due to all the rain and weeds they’ve been fighting. There’s still some cutting in Texas.

One thing we learned the hard way was never to park any of our equipment so close together.. we had a truck catch fire in the middle of the night and burned two others before anyone could respond.. it might look cool the night before but man the level of regret was over a million 💰 Yes you have insurance but that doesn’t pay for lost time or possible crop losses from weather when your sitting waiting for replacement equipment.

@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking

But if there was a fire, wouldn’t it catch the rest of the equipment regardless of how far apart they are? Unless you parked sporadically all over the field.

@6by6by6

11 ай бұрын

They were parked at our gravel yard..like you filmed these guys doing at the end of the day.. when it comes to the equipment in the field we go to much greater lengths involving straw removal & light tillage, pain in the A** but it’s paid off more than once. We came to the conclusion that preventing catastrophic damage is much more cost effective than panic driven recovery so during harvest we never cut corners.

Other than something about a tyre. And it was unclear what machine it was off there was no drama. What model combines are they? Congratulations on knowing when to sell your combine. It is very hard to give up what you have spent a lifetime doing. Perhaps you could explain why. What will you do with the rest of your gear With the money and time you could go on a cruise.

@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking

11 ай бұрын

Lots of things to respond to here. Drama was the breakdowns we had all at once. Nothing major like a field fire but stressful, none the less. I believe the combines are S780. I know nothing about the green machines so I’m not very knowledgeable with machine numbers, etc. Why did we sell? The cost of equipment, insurance, fuel and being on the road. The wheat acres were depleting for us. To make it work, more acres were needed to make it work and we were struggling with finding. A lot of farmers have machines so would only need you if they had a crop. The drought over the past 5+ years hurt. Jim decided it just wasn’t worth the stress. So, rather than making a trade (because it was time to do), we called it quits. The rest of the gear will be eventually sold. You make it sound like we became instantly rich with the sale of the equipment. 🤣

Honestly, I can’t make a comparison of machines because to make a true comparison, we should be cutting along side of them. Personally, though, I miss some of the options the NH offers that JD does not. One being the cruise control. Sitting in the cab is no different in green than yellow. I believe the NH cab is quieter. NH sometimes gets looked down on but it’s a darn good combine. With great grain samples, thanks to the the dual rotors, I’m sure. Jim might have more detailed response. Maybe.
