aTrippyFarmer and his family are back to bring you more farming adventures! In this episode, Andy and the crew are making the final push of corn harvest. The only problem: it continues to get muddier by the day. However, they do have the John Deere combine on tracks for bulldozing through the mud in order to get the crop out. It certainly isn't pretty, and a lot of landlords are not happy, but it is necessary to do so at the tail end of this growing season. With the bin sites being soft as well, progress is extremely slow. Efficiency levels are at all time lows. Andy and his family bulldoze their way through multiple days of wet fields, and they cover a good chunk of ground by the time everything is done. This is mostly do to the grain cart being sent into the field with the John Deere tractor to haul corn out even if it makes a muddy mess. The tracked John Deere S780 Combine is also a MVP over the course of this wet few days. Thanks for watching!

Andy "aTrippyFarmer" Dole is a 6th generation farmer from Central Illinois. On this farm, Andy works alongside his father, Marty, his uncles, Chris and Jeff, and his sister, Katie, to grow corn and soybeans on some of the finest dirt in the world. Andy and his family are deeply rooted in the area, operating a large farm that traces it origins back into the 1800s. Although some tracts did not stand the test of time, Andy and his family still grow corn and soybeans on fields that have been in the family for longer than even the oldest members of the farm have been alive. We do, we have, and we always will take tremendous pride in calling this piece of paradise our home. Andy was a Bronze Tablet graduate of the University of Illinois in the field of Crop Sciences, following the same path as his father and late grandfather.
It would be misleading for Andy to claim that this life is one that came by chance; rather, as a member of two multi-generational farm families, it was simply in his blood. His passion for agriculture traces back to his early youth--some of his fondest, earliest memories being of days spent riding in the combine with his father and grandfather. Although his understanding of the lifestyle was much less complex in the beginning, the love he has for farming, and its industry has only appreciated through time. As this dream blossomed into adulthood, Andy now works relentlessly, and tirelessly, to chase his own dreams and to build a farming operation of his own alongside his family.
We, as a whole operation, are handymen, electricians, mechanics, landscapers, accountants, economists, caretakers, stewards, and, most importantly, farmers, and we take an incredible amount of pride in our work. There is no challenge too overwhelming, no situation too stressful, and no problem too difficult for us to take on, and we want to take you along with us. Welcome to our farm and welcome to our lives. You have the best seat in the house to watch the everyday chaos of farming unfold--we usually only get concerned when things aren't going wrong!

I'm not a farmer, and I'm not in any agriculture-related industry. I'm an accountant. But this found its way into my feed and it I found it absolutely fascinating! The logistics, the complexity, the operations in general - I am surprised at how much I was captivated by this video. Extremely well done! Thanks! Subbed!
Drone shots were awesome today! Thank you
Hello from Moosomin,Saskatchewan, Canada
Hello again!
You guys scored when you found those aftermarket tracks
They have been killing it in the mud. It was a good grab!
Weâve trade combine every years and last years machine was known for those rear axle knuckle bolts coming loose. We checked ours everyday on all the machines.Another thing to look for this year is check your carter keys on the clean grain elevator chain. Four out of our six machines had atleast one broken key. We decided to check this after my chain had broke and noticed this. Good luck and happy harvest!!
What year and model? I believe we have a â21 770 but Iâm not sure since it was built in September of 20
@@jarrodwemhoff7270 21 s780âs and one s790. The 790 had the same issue as the 780âs. I would def check it out. They might not be broke on your machine but those keys they put in there from factory are tiny. Can see how they break. We have a tech that pretty much stays with us full time and he put a tad bit longer key in and curled them over on both ends instead of the single bend from the factory. Havenât had any trouble since.
Thanks for the feedback. We will check it out!
Crickey the ground looks soft were is this place.
Awesome drone video and music
I am glad that you enjoyed!
Nice nice load of corn it Is so full
It was pretty full!
When is your new video
I look forward to one day hearing you on the millennial farmers podcast đđ» keep up the good content
Maybe one day... Glad you enjoyed!
Halloween costumes were always fun to pick out! Hello Lenny and Ali
đđđ
Loved the shark. Those tracks were a wise investment. You almost need a small plastic shovel/trowel to remove the mud.
Great video and machines. Greets from Germany
Thanks for watching!
Dad was always saying a 12 wouldnât work in some of our hills till he tried it and Iâll be darn itâs better. Lost 1/3 of the passes in less than ideal conditions. I wouldnât be scared to try a 16 with a S series.
Farming simulator graphics are getting wild.
It's like 8K!
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always!!!
Thanks for watching, Marshall!
Man those are some muddy conditions. Count yourself lucky you are dealing with what Larson farms went through this year. Did you see their video of picking corn in a foot of standing water? That would be so nerve racking!
Thatâs crazy. Be lucky to get a crop in the dugout bottoms up here
The soil sure does change quite about across the continent!
Great video of our "hot mess"
Mess is an understatement... đ€ź
Great video, we are dealing with very wet weather here in Michigan also.
Thanks for watching. I hope it dries up for you!
Good video. I think you are doing well with the condition you are harvesting in
Once again a fantastic video and your drone footage and music are awesome đ đ what a crappy late harvest year
Thanks for watching. I am glad that you enjoyed!
I keep waiting for the mud, if your filling the bin to top not half you got good conditions I donât even see you going around wet spots until it freezes. Yes a little mud were you keep dumping but field looks great
It was muddy enough that the grain cart never went into one of the fields. We did partial loads in the other. It was muddy by our standards!
This looks like it's good going. Should been on my farm in March of 2020 with corn to still combine in about 2 .5 ft of snow and ground wasn't frozen and wet ground to begin with from to much rain. I put on steal tracks on my old combine. Grain cart with wheels couldn't get out there with it empty. My neighbor came over with his quadtrack and grain cart with tracks on it. At least he could get around some with grain cart. He still only get 2 hoppers in the cart with a 1100 bushel cart. The last day we were out there it was 50 degrees and the grain cart person just about got stuck but he could back up and get out if hie hole. It was the last day to be out there.
In the Dakotas, I presume?
@@aTrippyFarmer nope I'm Minnesota. We left in the field that year because it was 25% and low test weight than it was muddy too. We are north east of Fargo nd about 45 mins.
Sitting with about 110 acres of nh3 to go where I'm at for us. Going to do a 11 and 25 tomorrow. Hoping I can do rest of a 86 I got 20 left and a 25 rest we just can't do water stands on it. 1500 now if not booked or paid for was told. Didn't need the rain Wednesday evening would have been done but what we can't dp
I heard cost right now on NH3 is 1350, so it would probably be close to 1500 out the door. That is 2x what we paid đ€
Great video Andy maybe Deere will make some pontoons for tractors and combines for next year
Desperate times = Desperate measures
Did you guys already have those tracks sitting in the shed? Or did you have to scramble to find em when you realized it was going to be the only way to harvest? How do they compare to deere's tracks? Or are they deere's? I remember years ago a very large farmer (you probably have heard of him. Maybe?) Runs a lot of ground around Indianapolis airport and west of Indianapolis. Runs red equipment. He had someone custom build him a couple of corn heads. I can't remember for sure. I think they were custom folding 24row heads on 20in rows. And he had them on case combines when they first came out with tracks. Well when he tried to go down the Rd he almost burned both units up bc the bogey wheels would get so hot after just a few miles that the oil in them would start burning. Luckily it was caught in time. But I guess from then on he would just move them under 10mph if he was gonna road them. But fun fact a out him farming around the Indianapolis airport. Well when they did the renovations to the runways to be able to handle larger aircrafts. He had actual documented proof of a roughly 15bu an acre loss in every cornfield and 10bu loss in beans once the runways we're made operational. So he took his proof from years of yield data to the airport like wtf. And Purdue university did a study and found that it was from the unburnt fuel with the bigger aircraft taking off at full throttle. Good thing is that all that corn went to national starch In Downtown Indianapolis to be processed into corn syrup. Yummy jet fuel. (Probably why mt dew has such a kick!). But I assume that this was the reason a study was even done. Bc all of their acres are done under contract. So a loss of 15bu per acre really messed with what they were expecting for the year bc the guy had so many acres with them. It was a great contract bc if you could hold out till July you got a $.90 premium per bushel. So when corn was $2 or $3. That's when a lot of the small farmers in the 80s and 90s either got big or when the wheat mill in downtown Indianapolis took everyone's contracts and then filed bankruptcy in the 90s. Not paying anyone. The guys that were able to land contracts with national starch had that little boost and didn't have to file bankruptcy themselves. Well sorry for the ramble. Hopefully someone finds it interesting!
We bought them at the last minute! I wish I could give you a comparison to other brands, but it was our first experience with tracks. They handled the mud like it wasn't there, though they were rough going down the road. I appreciate your stories. There seems to be a lot of interesting happenings around the big city. Indianapolis is one of my favorite midwestern locations. Thanks for the comment!
wow. your going to need more than a field cultivator to get rid of those ruts. You know a while back in you videos when you say that brand new 2730 ripper and said you wanted to try it out. Here is your chance
We may not even get to work any of the ground if it stays wet...
I hate mud too, but you at least are getting rain. Most of the Canadian prairie are in a severe drought.
Rain at this point doesn't do much for us. There is a miniscule amount of winter crops around here, just corn and soybeans! I hate to hear about other areas receiving unfriendly weather...
Nice soil structure from all that deep tillage and cultivating
I'm in no till Virginia but where they're at you have to till to get moisture out of the ground
It will never dry otherwise
@@codygrubbs8246 thatâs a myth I farm similar soils
Thanks we work really hard on it!

Thanks for watching!
Nice Jet trailer
We have ran these trailers for a long time now. They are a little heavy, but they are stout. I would like to get something bigger one of these days!
I use a lighter to put an angle on lube straw, and spray the link plate junctions on the inside of roller chains, imagining that's where it needs hit and it centrifuges through instead of flinging off? Who knows. Nobody else does it.
How do you convince a landlord to install drain tile & is it a landlord expense or would renter pay part or all of it?
An economically minded landlord would probably be open to the idea of cost-sharing drain tile, or even installing it all themselves. The landlord for all of these fields is our farming operation, so we would have to pinch some pennies!
You should have about a million subscribers like that guy up north has. Your videos are better and more informative! đ
I appreciate that. Everyone is where they are for good reason, and I hope to be up there some day. For now, I just keep putting the videos out!
If I were the landlord owner, I would not be happy either!!
Yeah heâs in the red. Been grumpy all fall!
Great videography
Gotta blow through the straw immediately so it doesn't collapse. Like a 70 degree bend 3/4" from the end.
Great video editing đ
Do the combine's have some sort of GPS controlled auto-pilot because it is amazing how they seem to stay on track as they run through the corn rows? No deviation until you got to the end of the rows.
Yes there is one corn head snout with a set of mechanical feelers. It communicates the pressure of the feeler to the combine, which steers on its own based on that information!
Are the tracks that ya'll put on the S-780 a permanent thing or just for this harvest and are they something that you will keep or were they loaners?
It was a temporary addition. We bought the tracks, and they were removed after harvest. The tracks are just sitting at the local dealership, but we might sell them.
Wonder how many pounds of mud would fall off all the equipment if you let it dry then drove âhot lapsâ in a parking lot?
I like the tracks
DOT Special nice
đ€Łđđ»
Put some milestar patagonia mtâs on your truck.
Never heard of that brand... I think some mt's would definitely help!
fun fact when u see a puddle of water it has no mud but that is normal
The areas with water are usually more firm than the places next to it!
@@aTrippyFarmer exactly
I think its the first time ive seen so much corn on the back, is it because your dad drives like he stole it? đ
He is a wild thing. Itâs easy to forget how much corn this combine picks. When you think you have a little more room left, you get overfilled pretty quickly!
Just consider it as Rippen Wet Style
Ainât that the truthâŠ
Video's are great. Does putting the tracks on void warranty or is Deere standing behind it?
Thatâs a great question. I am sure a case could be made either way, but our dealership would have our back.
maybe the landlords will find someone who can get the crop out without rutting their fields up
Yeah hopefully they take it easy on us!
You obviously aren't a farmer
It appears by the responses that few realize the long term damage they have done to this farm
Do those tracks put any additional strain on the combine hydro? Larson Farms used some aftermarket tracks and had a hydro go out. I do not remember who the manufacturer of the tracks was.
I wouldn't be surprised if it did, but this combine is already on its second hydro. I'd like to think that its got a few hours to go before any problems!
They are hard on final drives
Drive slow especially when turning with tracks. Lots of aftermarket manufacturers say 15 mph road speed max, I believe the John Deere factory tracks are the same. you'll need rear wheel assist to be able to turn in that slop with tracks as well.
Good videos! But you ain't seen mud, come to West TN , it gets plum rotten, no bottom to it, those are just wet spots!!!
We usually have a bottom. I can only imagine getting in so deep that you need a trackhoe!
That's what it like in northeast AR on our rice farm. We have fields that if you get stuck it takes 3 or 4 4x4 tractors to get them out.
Thankful we can ship direct to the Mississippi. Maybe 25 miles. 2,000,000 bushel Pull up by earths a farmers co-op. Other outfits around as well not to mention ethanol plants.
đ
Need to get mud tires not those Street slicks/bad AT tire. I run mud/aggressive AT tires and never have this problem.
You trade off road efficiency for off road prowess, but you are right!
Iâm surprised that combine can take 250 BU corn at 8MPH!
Why do you band the endrows so many times planting?
That is 2 24 row passes, which is needed to turn. That is a small field, so it takes up a lot of the field.
ol Dad is lettin the corn picker hammer downđœđœđœđœđœđœđđđđđđœđœđœđœđœ
I believe these tracks were replaced by a different design. These were considered mud pushers, perhaps it was the weight of the head that created the problem? This design is very similar to military tanks, & they are not mud pushers. Just a thought . The evidence is in the performance, good or bad.
The 8 row has at least two advantages in muddy conditions. First its lighter than a 12 row (common sense) secondly he can combine faster thus staying ahead of the wave and on top of the mud. Once you sink into it, it takes even more power to pull thru.
Great video! Where are you located?
Central Illinois.
Farmer: Osha? What's that
Different set of rules for a farm... not always a good thing!

What state is the family farming in ?
Illinois
Illinois, like Dan said.
LOOKS LIKE LOGGING! HEE HEE!
Wheres the track cart?
On the way for next seasonâŠ
@@aTrippyFarmer they make world of difference
Weâre are you from in Illinois?
Mattoon. South of Champaign about 45 miles.
I live 45 minutes away from you so itâs nice to see a farmer in my area that has a CZcams channel. I love your videos
The design flaw with those aftermarket tracks is that they push the mud in front of them, which makes deeper ruts compared to the JD tracks which stay more on the top of the mud in many conditions, which also requires less power, and fuel.
The Deere strike is over, and the new contract that was ratified Wednesday, runs for the next 6 years.
"Nothing Runs Like A Deere" đŠđđșđž
You better trip or Iâm out
I keep my laces tied!
Yes lots of water this year. How many acres do y'all farm total if you can answer that.
A couple thousand!
Have you heard of mud flaps
No what are those?
whats up with the 8 rows?
I would love to help you out in the form dope videos./>?
Please help now
what are you crying about we had a 1969 jd 45 with AC ( NO cab ) on it and 2 wheel drive to when we got it it was well wore out and had smooth tires all around when we got it it was different time back then then now
Yes it was so what are you crying about. My dad would tell me how much harder it was in the 80s then I would remind him were farming 10x the acers with less help.
Life is relative. My family built this farm with equipment that would make your JD45 look like a Rolls Royce, so what are you complaining about?
why dont u just go buy a grain cart with track on it and a 8 RX to go with it
Because that's costs money. Lol.
That sounds expensive! We could trade our 8310r and 8285r for a 8rx and still owe money đ
First
You are quick đ

It must take you hours to edit these videos as much as it jumps around.
It just depends on the content. Some take 4-5 hours and others are done in 1 hour. I have gotten much faster as I continue to edit videos.
How about video u going to elevator unloading.
Why not wait for freeze up???
High potential for corn to go down. May not get a lasting freeze in Illinois till late December, not a good situation either way!
You could leave it out, but we don't really want to leave 250 bushel corn out in the field with deteriorating stalk quality. I have seen winters where it doesn't firmly freeze but one or two weeks. It just feels better to have it out with ruts versus waiting on weather that isn't guaranteed.
Snow is coming
I'd make you leave the fields id I was the landowner
Good luck!
You know nothing about farming you couldn't make him leave until after next year's crop
Hunter Morris I have been on a farm most of my life
They can come back when the fields are more ready
But I would make sure the fields are repaired and never rent to them again
Wear a mask please and wash before going near that beautiful baby?
I am not wearing a mask around my own child đ€Ł

And price gauging capitalism...
whos to blame for the price increase in Canada ?
Should we blame Biden for the price of corn too?
@@barnyardaerials they all belong to the 6uild 6ack 6better crew/one world order. The same group that wants us to eat bugs and live in pods while claiming you will own nothing and be happy.

I'm sure you have figured out that they artificially create a problem then use that problem to give us an unwanted solution that benefits only the elites. I could keep going but if that isn't enough I dont know what to tell you.
@@danlowery3235 yes, we can blame him for inflation. The price of corn went up but so has fertilizer, land/rent, equipment, fuel, taxes. Just because you see the diamond in the rough doesn't mean everything else hasn't gone to shit.
