corn planted on sod, whether for silage or grain, always seems to do better in a dry year. Soil seems to hold the moisture better. At least that was our experience way back in the eighties...
Hey Tim. I used to live in upstate NY and worked on my granddads dairy farm during summer and winter breaks from school. Life there is very different from other states, especially the south. Maybe you could tell your audience how the weather really affects the growing season up there and what it takes to feed all those hungry cows each year. I love your family farming channel and wish you all the best.
Great video Tim!!.. Congrats on your new combine, it must be a treat to run that bad boy!!... Our Dad's must have thought alike, as mine had the same saying about wet & dry growing seasons.. Have a nice weekend.. "Hi" to Erica, Ev, Claud & JoJo.. 😉🚜🚜
When I was a agricultural college in 1982 International Harvester had just introduced the rotary axial flow combines with claims of higher throughputs and better threshing. I hardly knew my way round a normal combine🤣. Looks like a good machine if you avoid the cab corn.
It is interesting about how combines are all mostly rotaries nowadays. Back in the late 90's and early 00's, walkers were far more capable in my area. The John Deere 9000's ran circles around the CIH and NH rotaries.
The 9600s were a big combine when they came out. They also were "feed grinders" in corn without doing some upgrades. STS a lot less cracking and they need aftermarket parts to work optimally.
@@lynwessel2471 the 9000’s I ran were corn/bean specials, I know rotaries like the CIH 2100’s and NH’s 88/89/98/99 would scream in corn. However, the walkers would shine in beans and small grains. I live and help on a small farm, wife and Wife’s family. They have a little guy, a CIH 1640 but even being small, he does good in any conditions. Although beans he gets sensitive.
@@DL541 Some of the early IH rotaries would make a 30 ft rope out of green stem beans, but someone invented "disrupters" to fix that. We went from the 9600 to a 9670 STS huge difference in tough beans.(780 these days 12 r corn 40 ft bean).95, 9600 were a lot better machine with the Kuchar kit in them. Also in the rotaries but the guys around here that need maximum capacity in corn pull the brand new JD rotor and put that one in. A lot cheaper than an X9 I guess. Seemed like the wheat farms in Canada hung on to the walker combines the longest. John Deere might still make the T 670 Walker.
@@lynwessel2471 I am not familiar with the Kuchar kit. I've ran mostly JD 9000's and CIH 1600 and 2100's. Always amazed me how simple the CIH was. The JD's always impressed me what they would swallow up. The only difference I experienced was the CIH's had a hard time unless the beans were near perfect.
@@DL541 Kuchar had an improved concave and cylinder bars with filler plates gave it increased capacity and didnt pump so much dust out the front. On the STS they replace the rotor with one with rasp bars all the way to the back like a red one and have an improved feed accelerator that doesn't damage the corn as much.
Hi girls and Tim. Sending a hello from Sweden. Love u vids and u energy. Specialy love Tim cam. It often has better sound then u girls have. I hope i dont sound creapy when i say that its nice to see u girls have mae up on, it just shows that u dont have to look shabby if u are a farmer. I love how u all make so greate offer to take care of u animals and u machines. Its also nice to see how diffent and yet so much same here in Swden and there in US. If i may suggest...wor on u sound quality, it often very bad and very hard to hear what u say. Often very loud bacground noice, but i guess that what u have to expect....If u could get better camras and microfones with wind reduction etc. And also if u can lower the music when u have that, becuse it gets very loud when i need to turn up the volume to hear what u saying and suddenly there is very loud music playing. Anyway, love u channel and hope u keep posting (more often..lol) keep the hard work up and tell jojo she need to make some new vids. Shes very funny. Have looked at all u vids now and will keep watching when evr new vids coming out. Ohh and a question...is Adian working on the farm now or is he still at his old work? Stay safe all u guys....
I'm pretty sure but not certain that the inventor of the upright tube silo was for Minnesota. Back when the small Dairy Farmer can make a living on the minimal acreage they had.
Seed must have had enough drought resistant qualities to handle the conditions your ground recieved. Yes,I am Captain Obvious after that statement. In my defense my farming experience is limited and less than anyone in your family,unless maybe you have an occupied birdcage. I milked cows one summer and helped with haying and other stuff on and off for a few years in the 70s. Signed- Old Small Town Boy.
Hi Tim, Why are Silos bad? I read a lot of stories of people climbing in them and not coming out. Do the silos get clogged or is the silo dust deadly? Thanks
Silos are great you just need to use common sense with them you can't be dumb there is no waste no covering uncovering with hundreds of tires which makes a farm look like a junkyard no having to start tractors and loaders in the winter no being outside in winter it's a no brained
Silage produces a toxic (as in fatal) gas at the beginning of the fermentation process. It sort of gets contained in the top of the silo takes time for it to dissipate so the farmer has to stay out for a few weeks.
Forget those mumbling gurrrls who swallow every other sentence. Unless they learn to have even a bit of a concept about what they want to talk about (thing: Laura Farms) and keep all the consonants and vowels together, I root for Tim!
One thing is for sure there, New York state is awesome in the fall. those colors💚everywhere, and Tim 👀 is a go Getter and so are your Girls. Proud papa Tim. 💯 Harvest time 👀 brings back the memory's of the time when we farmed putting up bales of Alfalfa hay.
Hi Tim, Thank you... I hope people will understand how important farmers are to our economy.
corn planted on sod, whether for silage or grain, always seems to do better in a dry year. Soil seems to hold the moisture better. At least that was our experience way back in the eighties...
Glad to hear the crops are doing a lot better than what you thought they would. That's always a nice feeling. Thanks for sharing Tim.
nice to listen to u behind the camera dad.
Just not enough of that wonderful two cylinder. Congrats on the new combine, great machine.
Best regards from Indiana.
Great video Tim! So glad that you had a good harvest!
Inspiring
🇨🇦 great video Tim, we enjoyed seeing your new combine and the farming aspect of your operation.

I wish you ladies would give a tour of your parlor & who does the 🥛 milking.
Done. 😎 also Tim is my spirit animal
Gotta love the Tim's commentery over what he's doing.
Thanks for a great video Tim🌽🌽🌽🚜👍

Thanks Tim. That was a great ride.
Gotta love Tim’s commentary!!
Same with us an hour south of y'all. I think the biggest thing that helped our corn crop this year was the 1/2" during the peak pollination phase.
Thanks Tim for sharing looking good
Thanks Tim for the input love the channel
Great video Tim
I think you had more rain this summer than we did south of Buffalo
Nice update on video keep them coming
Thanks Tim! Great video. Good content.

that new combine sure would look good with a 12 row head.
No one can. Last of the Mohicans. Watch , learn and pray.

Tim, I just wanted to be sure you did say the word corn right?
Comment
A friend of mine is a copy of Tim in looks voice and all. All tho I think my friend is older than Tim @61.
How about a milking video
Good video, good crops, terrible farm girl.

Did you not let Claudia do any harvest i mean i understand she tends to break things
Great video. Looks like the girls are losing interest in making videos. :(
Ok, “silos, worst thing ever created”? From a safety perspective? Production perspective? Never had them on out cattle farm… just wondering
october?, December here
I didn't think green needed rotors? Red had them for years.
JD rotaries came out in 1999 while still offering walker machines as well

You got that big of a combine and you only run a six row head come on man at least put eight on it
