My Corn Field Blew Over
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 11. 2023
- On today’s episode, we started our day 19 of harvest adventure at the main farm, for a full day of combining corn at the North Farm, and Uncle Orlyn's Farm. I started the day at the cemetery, for a unique job that I have never done before. After the cemetery job, we set up a new prototype 8-row Franco Fabril chopping corn head on our combine, I visited with the dos amigos from Argentina, found some problems with our combine leaking grain, and broke some minor things on the new corn head. The next day we started transferring corn into a new bin, my friends from Georgia came to visit, I blocked the entire highway with the combine, we moved to Uncle Orlyn's Farm to fight corn that blew over in the wind, we made more performance adjustments to the combine and corn head, I broke a gear box, and we plugged the wet leg at the bin site. Today was the best day of my life!

For all you naysayers…….I watch just because I love this kid. Farming is hard work. Technology is incredible, he’s just very good and has great family support. I Grew up on a farm, glad it wasn’t this complicated, lol. Learning Spanish for workers is sooooo admirable. He is admirable. So naysayers, just watch, support and keep snide comments off. Cole just keep on being you. I thank you!
I'm not a farmer, I'm a software developer, but watching Cole makes me want to be a farmer 😄
I guess people having it diferetly all around the world here in canada unless you are farming for yourself it barely makes money and sometimes i wish we could stand together as farmers like the french people do kinda
I'm not a farmer nor in to technology but Cole inspires me to be a better person!! Thanks Cole!!
A few years ago my 96 year old grandfather wanted to go for a ride in the brand new combine our farm purchased we modified a standard pallet with a bit of plywood and made it rail for him to hold on. 2 of us stood with him as our Bobcat lifted the pallet and him up to the deck so that he could get into the cab of the combine
I pray that ya'll get a positive resolution on the bin site. I can feel the frustration through the video over that situation. That whole situation needs to be off your plate.
Hey Cole, Disinterment is the word for digging a grave exhuming someone who has already been barred. I have worked in the Burial business for 11 years in Washington state prior to my new job. Thank you for sharing, it’s been nice to see it from a different view.
The word ie exhume, (to dig up a buried casket). Intresting video, Murphy's law is having too much fun on the farm time to kick it off the property. Big thumbs up to everyone. Keep up the good work
Even the older Case combines leak at the face plate and side of the feeder houses. What we do is use the expanding foam in the can to fill the gaps. Its cheap and it works great. The grain you save pays for the foam very quickly.
very good you didn't film the digging process itself. Class guys
When you open an existing grave and remove the remains, casket and sometimes a vault, it is called an exhumation. I hope you have some nice days to get the rest of the corn harvested.
Exhuming a grave
Disinterment
By watching your videos, you really gain insight into how challenging and complicated the life of a farmer and farm operation is. I admire your collective enthusiasm and patience!
I sure hope Cole or Cooper keep the burial service going in the future. It would be maintaining a family legacy, while continuing to provide a much needed service to the local community.
thank you for the service you do at the cemeteries. I saw on the news last night that some guy in I believe it is called Galveston Indiana just got a award from the Guinness book of records for being a grave digger the longest time he started in 1950
Really impressed by the support you are getting from the guys at Franco Fabril. Really seem like great people that stand behind their product. Hard to find these days.
To try and break into an already competitive market and not support your product on one of the most popular CZcams farming channels would not bode well for your brand.
Regarding your drive belts that are glazing smooth. While someone is lounging in the drying shack, you can remove the glaze and roughen up the belt with 30 to 60 grit sandpaper. It won’t take long, and it will increase your belt life.
22:50 Gas pipelines; Neat! I write software related to those very pipelines! Fun to see them in the field. Literally :D
❤ I think if equipment manufacturers had to put a 10 years warranty on their products their products would work perfectly.
Grew up helping my father do the same grave digging and we custom combined in SD. When I saw your dedicated grave digging machine (belt conveyor - we didn't use a backhoe) it brought back lot of memories of my father. Thanks for your videos.
I used to use check lists to make sure everything was remembered. Visually see all items running before opening the grain door. As far as the belts go, once you spin them when the auger stops and they did not burn off, you should be able to use belt dressing to give them extra grip. Good luck!
I always enjoyed riding in the combine as a kid on my uncle's farm. Wasn't old enough to drive. Now it's been 30 years and I haven't had a chance since. I guess I need to make friends with some farmers!
heehee. Cole got tickled talking about new stuff breaking down at the end of the video.
Thanks for sharing Cole. So glad we got Corn Farmers like the Cornstars..
God bless yall.
"Today was the best day of my life!" Your smiling attitude is why we like your videos!
I have watched you all struggle with that pit auger and burning belts off, just looking at the size of that auger and the incline it runs and it sure seems apparent to me that should not be a belt and pulley drive. It should have a gear reduction gear box drive on it and the builder cheaped out with that pulley drive setup. Gear reduction gearbox drive would allow you to start that pit auger loaded.
We have a lot of new things and I’m very convinced that new stuff breaks down more than things that are a few hundred to a thousand hours. There all that factory quality check stuff that gets past the inspection. Every new tractor we have had has had major hydraulic leaks or pump issues with in 100 hours. We just expect it now.
🙋♀️❤️. I can just imagine when those two sisters were alive. Their poor mom!😮
Great video Cole. It's enjoyable to watch videos that are a true testament to the life and struggles of farm life. Blessings!
You and your family truly have the best spirit and understanding of how things work and how they break. You truly are a fine young man and I know that Daddy and Momma Cornstar are so
proud of you!
Please give Nava father a Flannel shirt like you & Dave are wearing. He's a great worker helper.
Hope bin site suit finally ends and you get your unsafe nor working fixed and well compensated. Love watching
Love the videos. I have been digging graves all my life (family business) when you move a grave we call it a Disinterment. Over the years i have done quite a few disinterments, some go as planned, some not so much. Anyhow keep up the awesomes videos.
I truly enjoy watching your videos. Seems so strange to watch you getting your harvest in before winter, and then I drive a couple minutes down the road and see that all the fields near me have just been replanted with Strawberries.
wow that corn head is made in Argentina, I never thought I could see a product from my country in yours. greetings cole, great videos. let¨s go with that spanish, sounds good. vamoss
Oh my goodness 😳 burial stories..
Thanks for sharing very informative.
On the glazed belts. Try spray paint on the pulley and belts while turning. My grandpa had an old trencher with worn belts and he used spray paint to keep them spinning the auger. Worked well 25 years ago. Cheap until you can get it properly fixed.
When you have glazed over belts run a little sandpaper over them to get rid of the glaze
And if you have one that's squealing a bar of soap (or belt dressing) rubbed on the offending belt will fix that just like magic...
Belt dressing works, but sticky mess everywhere in the motor box..
You can buy a brand new semi and it can brake down too. Then you say "what the heck" but God is good and we are alive to see another day.❤
Your dad looks completely done with that whole bin site leaning against the trailer
The new wash machine we bought to replace our 20 year old wash machine is pretty much just like your brand new farm equipment.
I wanna drive a combine with Cole!!!
Just don't slam the door he doesn't like that, lol
Driving pretty much anything on a farm like yours would be one of the best days of my life! I’ve driven a few smaller tractors but I live in the suburbs and work at a desk so I don’t get the chance very often. Four things I really want to drive are a BIG tractor, a combine, an excavator, and a grader. Those are all super cool to me, but I’d have a great time in a skid steer or even a farm truck 😁
I understand, my old gleaner combine is nothing like what you're running but I sure enjoy it. I'm old school I still pick some too for my cattle herd and I really enjoy running picker
My oldest brother was reinterred when our mother died. He was originally buried in Missouri, in Mom's home town. She died a year later, and Dad had him moved to our family plot and buried next to Mom.
Rode with my Grandpa in the combine in the early 1970s......I t was great....I would have been less than 5yrs old...💪💪
Cole, you look great clean shaven! 😊
I canNOT wait for the day when you tell us that you WON the court case & get a massive payout for that million dollar death trap. I say this all the time Cole, I know, but I watch a LOT of farmers. I’ve seen bin site builds in several states, different types of bins, watched them from beginning to end on a Timelapse & have NEVER seen one that had any builder error issue. Makes me furious.
Im suprised with all the trails you are doing with corn types, feritilizers, and intercropping that you are also playing with new heads as well. Thats adding in just yet another variable to your results.
In the grain bins put a cone under where the grain comes in, it will disperse the grain
better.
Cole another request, how about including in your soil improvement experiments about four swaths, or more, in each of your fields with a rototiller? You know, a kind of a side-by-side comparison of whether or not going over your fields with a rototiller, and burying crop debris and burying rocks and so forth, is worth it? You might even go so far as to make these rototilled swaths to be PH balanced with all of the other nutrients added that would have these swaths to have the optimal growing conditions?
I remember that you bought that bottom plow, so going over it some of that plowed ground with a rototiller wouldn't take too long..., maybe?
Also, I've thought of a most splendid experiment to try having to do with growing corn that will be extremely labor intensive, but hopefully it will produce at least two ears of corn per stalk. I'll let you know if I get a chance to try it out next spring.
I cant speak spanish but one of my favorite parts of the video is when he practices or successfully has a conversation in spanish also the driveway shenanigans i get 3-15 rock videos per year going on 3 years strong😂❤
Wow, brand new things like cars, combines, and heads, always have glitches. The difference here is you have the team ready and able to fix the problem, even give you a replacement until yours is fixed... with a smile. If I heard correctly, if the heads work in Iowa, they will be even better in Argentina, as the stalks are different, or drier. So, they were expecting having to make adjustments. As long as everyone is aware of this, that's great, but half a day in the field is a lot of bushels, but, you got caught up drying the corn, that clogged. But, you know how to fix it, except it was midnight. So much for Farmers just plant and harvest, and the combine does all the work. 😊❤🙏
Listing all the new equipment you have tried that broke but you forgot to mention the most important-- new bin site!
When your in a law suit with someone you have to be careful what you say against them
18:10 “blister” the one that shows up once the hard work is done lol
I just saw your remark you like to let other people drive your combine. That sounds like such a cool thing to experience! The next time i ride through your state on my motorcycle im gonna look you guys up. Love your channel
I am also from Georgia, thanks for theshout out
You should be able to Leave the concrete vault in place for reuse, and replace the top cover, the family can resell the plot. 4:30
Thanks and GOD BLESS 😀
Nicel, a roadtrip for the dead. The zombies will be jealous!!😂😂😂😂
Son in law with pauly shore is best tutorial on combine operation. Step 1: cassette playing " Thank god im a country boy " John Denver😂😂😂😂😂
SUPER JOB
Exhumation is the term for digging up a grave.
The proper term is disinterment. Exhumation happens when you remove the body from the casket for examination. I.e. a cold murder case and the investigation wants to find the cause of death.
@@Adamu98 Yes. That is correct. That term escaped me at the moment.
Cole, you should sell a "farm experience". I would be first in line to fly to Iowa and spend a day in the Combine with you.
There's a reason it's called a "breaking in" period. 😝
If Cole does indeed win the lawsuit, I am curious to see what the path forward will look like. They have had several issues with the foundations, so I would have to imagine the big bins, wet bin, and possibly the pit will have to be taken down to address those issues. I hope for their sake that the issues can be resolved over the summer months and be ready to go by Fall harvest when the lawsuit has been settled.
With all the issues they have had, has it all been due to the shoddy work of the contractor, or does AGI play some part in this as well? I wonder if the site were designed by a company like GSI, Sukup, or Brock if they would have had as many issues. Just baffles me the issues they have had with the pit. Also, the fact that they can’t pull out the floor auger out of the one bin from the outside because it faces the other bin. Unbelievable.
Does this mean there's going to be a contest,
Win a combine ride with Cole ?!?
Copper’s winter project …. Adapter plate with forth and after adjustment … couple of hydraulics rams and heap of steel etc . Good luck.
Wooohooo! A fellow atlantian!
In the suburbs of ATL in loganville, GA here
As someone from Georgia...labeling Atlanta as part of GA is disrespectful to our state...we kicked them out a long time ago
Seems like all the focus over the last many years have been ramping up production, to be faster and more efficient so more products gets out the door. Sadly we kinda see the aftermath of not having the same amount of ramp up in QC. It seems to cause products just often coming with more faults from the factory that it used to. And it is in all the chains of manufacturing, not just the final assembling process. Can only hope that will get better in the future, or we will probably just learn to live with things breaking prematurely.
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🌽 🌟
Hey Cole. The word you were fishing for is exhume. ⭐🙂👍
Awesome always cool stuff always thanks 😎
The word for digging up a grave is exhumed. I learned that from cold cases.
Exhume is the word for digging up a grave.
Check the motor sheave diameter on the charts to see if it is too small to actually couple the torque that's available.
You might also change from individual belts to a notched power band belt for better hp and torque management
A larger drive pulley and much larger driven pulley on the auger with 4 belt grooves would probably help. In the long run, specs need to be provided for auger RPM needed to move the needed volume of grain. From this the corrrect motor HP can be determined, and it may well be that a reducing gearbox will be needed. That looks like a pretty large auger and it is moving wet corn, which is a big load. It is unfortunate that this pit was not designed to use a drag conveyor with adjustable flow plates and a VFD to control motor speed.
@@999pr1looks like a 16in transfer auger
Just A heads up from a long time subscriber . I am watching this channel not to learn Spanish or pumping iron . I could care less ! Yes its you life and you can video whatever you want . I don't care ! As for missing the point of receciling ? That corn meal that comes off the dehumidifier of corn that your dumping in the natural dump ? Could be used to feed anything from pigs down to chickens . if I remember your sister has chickens or at least 20 neighbors do ? So offer that and get some free eggs that you eat daily ! Im sure your family could be better served with free eggs for what your dumping ? Just A point I picked up after watching four videos today to catch up to date ! I have have a lot going on like you so I have saved my favorites for weeks . now I have time to see my favorites back to back . Congratulations on the new blessing that's coming ! God Bless You All !
I think everytime Coop gets around the new bin site his blood pressure shoots up like a bottle rocket lol, can't say I blame him I certainly hope the courts make the situation right
Great video
Another very interesting Video ❤
BIEN AHI ARGENTINA PRESENTE EN TODOS LADOS PAPAAA!!
Smell corn hard on a combine Reminds me of the movie Tommy boy. But a fat man and a little man's coat
son. if you didn't have bad luck you wouldn't have any lick at all... Sure hope y'all get things worked out soon. Great video everyone. Really enjoyed it
Farming is tough and when a guy buys new equipment you expect to help with the headaches. You guys definitely have your share of problems. After the bin site fiasco you should be lawers.
Nothing runs like a deer 😮
This was an interesting content twist I did not anticipate. Weird though to dig up people buried 40 years to move a handful of miles away.
8 row corn is more then enough header for a thousand acres a year.
Hey Cole, it can't be every company that's bad. Maybe time to check out a new mirror and see how that works.
@DukeOOO 👍 True...I hear over and over again that people with narcissistic traits almost never change. If true, that's very sad.
Scuff belts with sand paper takes sheen of and can be used in a pinch
So many new things going on.
Great stuff I have used it on the adapter plate
I vote yes for the metal snouts
When you dig up a grave, it’s called a disinterment
Greetings from the Netherlands
Cole, have you ever considered that you might be a jinks with new equipment?😁
A Distributor would help spread the corn in the Bin.
Why not convert problem pit auger from a belt drive to chain drive? No more glazing of the belts.
Setting up machinery and attachments for YOUR fields will always take a little time, but much like with light vehicles, I tell people who are willing to listen that there is basically NOTHING good about a brand new vehicle/machine (to justify the cost) compared to a 1-5 year old one. It's the same thing, just someone else has sat in it, and broken all the faulty parts under warranty (sadly most warranties are only worth what your dealer's word is worth), fixed/modified things that flat out don't work and lost a LOT of money when they trade it in, you then get an actual bargain. With MAJOR machinery purchases like combines that can stretch much further than 5 years. Every brand/colour makes lemons, it just happens, but if its a few years old, and has done the appropriate hours/miles for its age/seasons, it's not one of them :) It's kinda cruel how the guy who pays the most for it, is the guinea pig for the next guy.
Don't diss about slamming the door! Jeez. 😊if it doesn't shatter, it wasn't that hard! 😊 10:23
You can try wd 40 in your air line where your glad hand hooks up it should help with the slow break release problem also that’s a super 10 trans
I don't think you have bad luck with equipment, it is just that mechanical things always have problems. You have lots of equipment so your surface area for problems is quite large.
The term for "unburying" someone is called "Exhuming" them, or "Disinterring" them.
Rake the hot corn over the floor! 17:15 conveyer dropped uneven 17:46
Put a spreader in all bins.
When you were showing the bin you started filling I noticed the sweep was not next to the intermediate sumps. Certainly going to be a problem when it comes to bin clean out.
It may be worth replacing the large pulley with an even larger one. this will reduce the auger's speed, making it easier to transport corn.
you can and will document all the issues but then also go the extra mile to make things work even better - small changes can make big diferences when you are dealing with an assembly line and that is basically what you got - the bin site is still in shakedown mode - this is normal - testing and optimization are integral parts of the process #2 phones
