Daddy Cornstar hang on through this frustration and KNOW how many of us are praying for this situation and that it gets fixed. Hang in there; God is in control.

i LOVED the black screen ending with the radio chatter. too funny. Really praying this mess with the pit and everything else ends up being a huge BLESSING for yall in the end. May the Lord make u whole and then some.

I've never seen Daddy cornstar that upset before and he's always really patient. Praying everything works out good in the end!

I agree DC, as much as you spent on the grain bin setup it should work, I can imagine the frustration

Breaks my heart to see our Daddy Cornstar so upset, I hope this situation is resolved soon.🙏

Can you confirm, Nava driving big tractor and big grain trailer? 👌 I've never heard of a farmer that controlled his temper for so long on a piece of equipment that cost so much. Your a good man DC. A good man to lead your family. Just my humble opinion. Have a great harvest, be safe a GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Just remember the guys who built that setup can go out of business and sell their equipment to their new company. I hope you had some type of insurance or a very good lawyer who can foresee the tricks they will try to get out of their responsibilities.

A pastor, an engineer and a magic mullet were working on a combine. That’s a good one

Hate to see you guys having issues with the grain system. I feel the pain in your dads voice

After living in a rural farming community in Indiana for over 20 yrs. , I have learned that you have to leave early and be patient during harvest season. It doesn't last long and it isn't worth anyone's life to be in such a rush.

My opinion is to change that belt to an chain driven than belt driven so then you get the belt issues out, i have a neighbour which done the same thing and is running smooth as hell

Cole and DS, you had such high hopes for the bin site and it’s been one problem after another. I really hope the legal case is resolved soon and in your favor - I look forward to hearing whatever details you choose to share whenever you are able to share them.

Wow, harvest is hard enough without the bin saga & all the $ tied up in it. Not good for DC to get so upset😥. Great JD is bringing out another combine! God bless you guys & just be safe out there! 🙏💕🙏

I love to see you all working together. Ricardo is a great addition. Family!

I hope you get all those bin site problems fixed at the contractors cost

Put new straps just to the first rib on either side. That way tarp won’t get stuck under the hooks and not all the grain will hit it.

If you use the PLC to run the cross auger incrementally and have an interlock for high amps it should keep it from burning the belts off.

Great Video Guys!... Even with all of the issues you all just continue to push ahead. So nice to see Scott, Momma Cornstar, Hneiva today too. You absolutely have the best family-oriented content out there. No matter what the situation you just deal with the issue and move forward. Ricardo has been a great help this harvest season as well. nice to see Hneiva's niece today riding with all of you, she'll remember these days for sure. I know because of all the legal stuff you can't tell us more, but I hope you all get a good resolution and soon as that bin site is a major investment in your operation. Hope to see you guys tomorrow, and God Bless All the Cornstars including "Top Corn Dog" Maverick, their Friends and Helpers.

You guys never cease to amaze me...no matter what is thrown at you, you guys just keep moving forward. Inspiring!!

I feel ya daddy cornstar I drove a semi for several years and worked on the farm back in my youth and seen people do crazy stuff because they can’t be patient for a few minutes

Hey Cole and company, watching you guys deal with all of those problems has me appreciating being a vicarious farmer.

I love Ricardo! He fits in just great to the family!!!

Hi Cole im an industrial electrician in New Zealand. With the pit, you could have some coding if you know the load on the auger out of pit is low then start the cross auger for example for some time.

Cole and his family treat all the reps like family. Really rare to see.

DC keep your blood pressure down i sure enjoy watching all of you. Things happen it will work out. Happy harvesting to you all.

I'm sorry DC. You all were so excited about the possibilities with the new set up. I hope it gets better soon.

You Guys have had a lot of Trouble with that Auger System. Best Wishes on getting it fixed.

Cole it is good to see you father in law is taking an interest in the farming.

Daddy cornstar is a legend.. rushing doesn’t get you anywhere

I hear ya' Daddy Cornstar. The comments you made while driving the semi, on the highway, and people passing when they shouldn't. Most of our two lane roads around my home were either built for model T's, or gravel roads that have been paved in the last 25 years. Most of them have very few passing areas, and very few long enough to pass a truck. If you need to go faster, use the 4 lane roads. We all know what time of year to help our farmers out and give them a break. I grew up in a rural town. Used to seeing farm equipment on the roads during planting and harvesting. You use the gravel roads for the most part, but there are times you need the highways. Thanks for helping to put food in our bodies, seed for the next planting season, and food for the livestock. There are several packing plants around here. I was born in Waterloo Iowa. My Dad worked at Wrath Packing, next to the Cattle Congress. I live in Warren County... not much but fields in this county 😊❤

Great video Cole. Love the friendships that are built with this channel.

Great show, Cole ! With so much going on I'm amazed you're able to get these videos out as much as you do. 👍

Judging by the title in thumbnail I can tell this is going to be a good video

My grandfather was a farmer his whole life. I grew up on his farm. Saw just how hard both my grandparents worked. The frustrations he went through. He had to start over 3 times in his life. Being wiped out from hurricanes and diseases in the poultry business. Having to put down thousands of birds. So I can understand your pain and anger. Equipment breakdowns. Farming of any kind is so hard. I'm praying for you. It will get better.

Man I feel the frustration. It's a hard thing to pay over a million dollars for that bin site and having continued problems that should have never happened. Wish y'all the best.

You have a great team all working together to keep things going smoothly. I really hope the bin site gets fixed soon so you stop having trouble.

Nice speech DC about cars passing you on the hill

I like Scott the tire man! Always laugh when he shows up on the channel

DC has every right to be rambling about the difficulties he's having at the grain bins! Sure hope they get it all fixed soon!

I am sorry to hear about all the issues with the bin site, but I just have to mention how Maverick sitting on your lap made my whole day.

Ricardo is a hoot I enjoy his antics.

I understand your frustration. Spending hours, days, weeks trying to plan a major and expensive upgrade to the farm that will last decades and further grow your operation and to see it installed in a manner that is less than subpar would grind my gears. I would never have the composure you Cornstars have. More power to you. I pray that the contractors fix the issues and that this bin site will be 120% operational soon. I wish you all the best and keep on chugging along. I am looking forward to hearing the unacceptable excuses that the builder has for the absolute poor quality of work. God bless! See yah on your next video!

We bought those at Edwards, I don't work for them! We had 3-5 company trucks and then we brought in all the harvest contract haulers, around 100, and kept the highways between Southern Oklahoma to Caprock Texas, 25 different load and Coop points, busy just like your harvest is. And yes, I do miss that! Terrible food, looong hours, no sleep, getting called out all hours with a broke truck 200 miles away or, worse, a accident. But nothing will make a big bunch of folks come together for 3 months out of the year like bringing in a harvest.

I feel for you guys on the binsite frustration. It sucks! Be safe! Keep Smilin!!!!

Many blessings and a huge Thank You to all farmers and ranchers!!! 🙏❤️

Dc, we have all been there. Remember to enjoy the parts of harvest you can, make the memories with your boys eventually you can sit down and tell stories about back in the day.

Prayers for your family to get through this. Yall have worked hard and do not deserve this.

Hope you guys figure out the bin sit situation. Great video thanks for sharing.

Oh DC in the cement industry with new plant they call it growing pains with all the break downs. Hoping you fine folks quick fixes on all the quirks with the new bin site. God bless safe travels

DC you have way more patience than me. You have every right to be frustrated. You pay out that kind of money stuff should be done right. Hope everything gets fixed soon because it's hard enough to be a farmer when everything goes right.

The whole rant part was funny (and of course not at the same time). Hope that gets resolved quick and you get everything going to what it should be or better.

Daddy Cornstar drive safe out there. And to all you guys thank you for your dedication to farming and all your hard work.

I feel your pain DC. We had some very expensive CNC equipment that did nothing but break down for about the first 9 months we had it. After they got a lot of things replaced we ended up keeping it for about 20 years. As time went on we learned what we could fix ourselves and what we had to call the mechanics in to fix. Sooner or later they will get things started out for you, let's just hope it's sooner.

Change the cross auger to a chain drive instead of belts. You could put vee belt pulleys that uses 8 vee grooves instead of 4 vee grooves.

Daddy cornstar I understand your frustration but you need to take it easy we need you here sir 👍

I hope You all have a lower stress level, Thanks for investing Your time to share with everyone (such as me). Your all awesomeness.

Put a high and low bindicator in main pit to act like pushbuttons to control cross auger. Cross auger will then start when grain goes below bottom bindicator and shut off when grain goes above top bindicator.

loved the audio of the chatter. I could listen to the funny cometary all day. PS, i hope all the issues get worked out soon. Its got to be so frustrating dealing with that bin site every day.

Sucks with the silo setup problem. I am glad you are able to make things work but should not have to deal with it. I still think of the much older video back when you showed the sketchy upper cross walk supports. That gave a big eyebrow raise for me. Someone designed it wrong but someone also didn't care enough to notice and resolve it. Made me wonder what else was done with that. The whole situation is sad and unfortunately things like this take time to resolve in court. You will get there eventually all in time. Good luck to you all.

Industrial maintenance here. If you have a frequency drive for your cross auger (which I imagine you do) you might be able to slow it down where it turns slower that the diagonal auger. So that way it can take away grain faster than it can pile up. Might be able to have Joe look at that for you. It's not right but you might not have to change belts everyday. Best of luck.

Thank you Daddy Cornstar. I love advice

Cole, it would cost some money out front, but adding a vfd to the cross auger in the pit would solve the problem. Your controls guy can easily set up a load sensing program to monitor the amperage draw from the motor. There would be a target amperage and if that threshold was exceeded the vfd would automatically slow down until the amperage dropped below the threshold. That would prevent burning off the belts but still keep the discharge auger fully loaded. Then as the pit becomes empty the cross auger would speed back up again to quickly empty the pit.

If DC gets upset you know things are a mess! I hope you guys can get everything worked out soon. Makes things so hard when you’re trying to be efficient during harvest.

Hey guys, what if you were to remove the pulleys on the cross auger and install sprockets with heavy duty chain. Have a small sprocket on the motor and a larger sprocket than the pulley that’s on the auger to slow down the auger speed a little. Might help since the belts can’t seem to handle the load and with the cross auger turning a little slower, might help the auger to the leg to keep up. That cross auger sounds like it’s going too fast.

Love the harvest videos!!

You guys are kicking butt. Those binsite issues are terrible. It's too bad that something can't be done are a quicker pace. Seems to be the theme "give me the money" I'll fix it later or I can get parts.

They really need to come out and check out the problems for you and fix them.

Love your little furry nephew driving the semi 😸

I’m gonna add to what daddy cornstar was saying about cutting off semi’s. Just remember big truck don’t do fender benders. Give trucks a lot of room.

The info. On the farm is extremely smart for people that would build and invest in bins for harvest. This is a blessing for good or bad. Needs to be discussed. And can save someone’s farm. God bless.

Keep yalls heads up this will all get resolved 🙏🙏

‘Member when you used to blurr out your mom’s image? That was so funny.

We used to take the one strap off on the normal load side just for harvest it helps a lot

Dang guys, I feel horrible all the issues your having with your bins, hope everything gets fixed soon, what a terrible job the company did that installed them, hope the courts make them give you back all your money.

Could you try reducing the size of pulleys on the ends of cross augers so they are running as fast and not binding as much, it's a band aid fix but it may help with not burning belts. Custom agri systems out of Napoleon ohio does fantastic work and they travel all over to do work for the Andersons.

I can’t believe the class you guys are able to sustain even with all the problems. You all are such great role models. Thank you for that. I believe god will continue to bless you for that.

Hi Everybody good to see everyone working together👍🏻😊🙏❤️

Scott has to be one of my favorite guests on the Constar show!

There are days like this I would love to help. I’ve never seen your Dad so upset. He’s justified 1000%. It’s bad enough having combine issues, but when you can’t unload, Good Lord! They need a break.

Maybe change the pulley sizes on the pit cross auger to slow it down? And if the belt spins might be worth switching to a poly chain if you are getting new pulleys anyways? Hope all works out and you end up finally getting your moneys worth one day.

Hi all there is always someone on the road that just cannot wait five minutes they just don't think what could happen keep carm dad cornstar and all stay safe

The video opening the can of worms on the grain bin setup is gonna be a bangerrrrrrrrrrrrrr

The pit centering auger problem can simply be solved with a timer relay. It doesn’t need to run all the time so don’t. Put a timer on the control of the auger motor. 10 sec on and 20 sec off. Or change the pulley sizes to spin at 30% current rate. I enjoy all your content. Grew up in Melrose township. Very easy to relate.

I live in farm country by choice. Twice a year I get stuck behind slow moving equipment. Passing isn't the safest option on most of these roads either. I'll gladly just hang back behind that machine for a few extra minutes rather than risking it with the traffic on those same roads. Thankfully our ditches aren't so deep here, because I've pulled over into them more than a few times to let machines pass without taking out a mailbox or something else. I'm not a farmer, but I'll stick with living between them. The spring and summer inconveniences are worth it compared to where else i'd be living. It's not hard to figure out the day or two they will be in your way if you pay attention either. Planting and harvesting seasons delay me WAY less than the normal stuff on the highway. Plus, I like to eat regularly, so I'll give the farmers some room so we can do that.

If you slow down the cross Auger will be less load on the belts

DC I would not apologize for being so upset. You guys have been far more patient with that shit show of a bin set up then I would’ve been. I hope you win big!

another awesome video. Sure y'all will be glad when the bin site gets fix for good. Thank you guys

Looks like you could use a few lights on the left side of the grain dump and it has to be so frustrating not having things working right

Hey! You were talking about those tarps, wait till you go buy some of those bad boys!. We use trailer extensions on peanut haulers, I know you can't because of wait but we had a little different design at Edwards Canvas in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma. You might see if they are different than what you use and may save money and last longer. They were well worth our trucks running 300 mile trips around the clock during and after harvest.

One solution for your belt situation. Replace that one drive with a leaf chain/silent chain setup. Just make sure its perfectly aligned and tensioned. Put chain lube on it a few times a season and it’s bullet proof. Down side is there’s no slippage, unless a key shears off inside a gear.

DC from my experience as a millwright for a setup like you have in your pit you really should have hog backs ontop of your auger. It takes the weight off it but still allows full capacity of your system.

Diet dew is the best drink on earth. And Casey’s pepperoni pizza. The food of the New Heaven.

I can’t wait to see the end result from the bin sight, hoping and praying it eventually gets the kinks worked out 🙏🏻

Daddy Cornstar, I can't believe you've been so patient this long. I have to say, I'd have gone postal psycho long ago.

DC, I share your frustrations about people passing semis and about killing themselves in the process. I live in a area with a lot of farming and constantly see people pushing semis loaded with soybeans, corn, livestock and passing them and about running themselves off of the road. I shake my head when someone risks there life to get around a slow moving semi and then that car and the semi arrive at the same red light at the same time.

Cole and family, my heart goes out to you, you invested a lot of time, money, effort and planning into the bin site, and it seems to have caused you so much grief, I cannot believe that after being so careful in choosing contractors and planning so carefully that it has become some a pain, hopefully you will find a solution and everything will work out

Oh man, how frustrating for DC! All the planning, work and hoping for a great harvest. I hope you can get it all straightened out soon. I am not sure who was cuter, Maverick or the little girl! Both are pretty adorable.

great video i realy feel for daddy cornstar i can understand the frustation all that money for sumthing not to work hope things turn out in your favor god bless daddy cornstar

Grew up on Iowa farm and memories of harvesting season-appreciate your taking the time to film.

Have a good night Cole and family
