archerjg Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 We have about 100 acres of corn and work close to 100 acres in hay. This is give or take a few acres. We also do wheat and we used to plant beans, but the deer are just too bad around us. I'll answer any question that I can. Archerjg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad dryden Posted July 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Well im sure I will need some help this fall if not before harvesting. Last fall I purchased a Massey Ferguson 750 combine with a 15ft grain head. What kind do you all own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckslayer Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 We have a 12ft new holland combine. Not huge but it works well for us... which is ultimately whats most important about farm equipment. I grew up on our family farm... it is 174 acres, and right now we have timothy, alfalfa, and corn about 33% of each on 100 of those acres. I'll also help if possible.

archerjg Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 We run and prefer mostly John Deere. But we do have Massey Ferguson and Case International Tractor. Just not as happy with the other tractors as we are with the John Deere. We have a 4420 Deere combine and it picks the crops really clean with little damage.

brad dryden Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Wow I dident now they had a 16 row head for combines you must do alot of acres. All I have is about 50 acres and I am hoping to expand a little more next year. I have a quick qustion I have turned on the combine with out the head on it and the buzzer somtimes would go off its not cloged any where that I could see and have had it once or twice do it with the head on the combine. Also I have some shucked corn heads that are in the walker and are wedged in the gaps do I need to take them out or will they be fine, some are kinda in the back would it hurt it any if I would walk on the walkers carfully to get them out if I need to?

Ravin R10 man Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 As far as the monitor going of,f you could have a sending unit out of adjustment..or your sensitivity is turned up too high? getting on the walkers should not hurt them, but Id put something down on them to kneel on...the cobs will work their way out eventually when they dry out and shrink, but if the walkers are loaded up..I would pop them out. Any grain that comes over the walkers will have to travel farther to fall through to the grain pan and seives, thus cutting your seperating capability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
