Good Enough For Government Work- It wasn't really a government job but I bet the statement triggers some anti farm subsidy warriors in the comment section. #CornHarvest2022 #Triggered

Zach Johnson, the “Millennial Farmer” is a 5th-generation farmer who’s spent his life growing, working, and learning on his family’s farm. His wit and dry sense of humor appeal to children and adults alike. A product of the millennial generation, his appreciation of new technology blends with his old-fashioned work ethic, and he offers a unique ability to deliver his message in a way that resonates with lifelong farmers as well as those with no knowledge of agriculture. With growing consumer awareness about where their food comes from, Zach has identified the need for an independent voice from the front lines of agriculture. Zach actively promotes agriculture by sharing his day-to-day experiences in the agriculture world while providing farmer-to-farmer education to help facilitate a collaborative conversation between farmers and the public.

I had to smile with you and your dad listening to the combine, "hear that rattle?". Reminded me of conversations in C-17 aircraft. The pilot would say, "what's that noise?" All I could hear was the sound of 4 jets and an APU running. How in the world could you hear a noise over that racket. But over time sure enough you could hear things that didn't sound right. If you hear it, check it just like you said. Good memories. God bless.

@JWilliams97 Жыл бұрын

We bought a new C12F last year and heard a plastic-y "grinding" noise. We noticed that right side PTO shield rattling as well and it would slowly turn while the head was running. Eventually that plastic tube shield broke in 2 places and then the 3 pieces would grind together. They checked the shaft to see if it was bent slightly but said no. They ended up warrantying the right side shaft and shield. I still noticed the shield rotating some this year, but it never broke. I did notice corn shucks getting wedged between the tube shield and back of head a couple times and dug them out to keep them from pushing on the shield. The noise last year was definitely unsettling at first but was a relief to find it was just the shield rubbing

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. My most sincere compliments to your dad. He takes it all in stride and listens to all the sides of an issue. He is easy to work with and listens to everyone side of the situation. Nice man. Busy busy time for all of you with harvest going full speed. No big breakdowns so that is good. Had to put new blades on the tillage machine but guess that is regular maintenance type thing. Keep it all going. You are real good with the new dryer setup and the adjustments and such. Seems to be running real good for your operation. That is good. The dogs really like to ride in the Polaris cart. Glad you got the family pictures done Zach. Thanks Becky for keeping him straight on that. Oh my. About it for now. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything Zach. The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.

Hey Zach, we have a new corn head too, a 2022 C8R. It was noisy on the drive end like yours. Turned out that the collar that held the sprocket in place that drives the auger was omitted from the factory, that caused the chain to rub the framework making a racket. After they replaced the collar, sprockets, and chain it was still noisier than it should have been so they replaced the chain on the end that runs in oil. Now it sounds good. Might look into that

I think this year with drier corn and the new setup you are making your drier more efficient, as the previous years was very wet and you had the slow auger with the loud air blower! Can you switch dry bin while the dryer is outputing? Or you have to stop it then switch! Smart to have a bolt supply right in the shop. And they refill periodically without you calling.
